I mean obviously…Losing 2 props, maybe for ever, is horrendous . Bell brilliant. Skelton brilliant. Effort good. Forecast gloomy.

All Blacks smash Wallabies to seal Bledisloe AGAIN as Eddie's pain grows after devastating injury to star prop

Mate I hope so and if you’re right I’ll expect to see you on here on Sunday high fiving!

'Kiwis think they're better than us': Eddie turns up heat on Bledisloe rivals saying 'country sinks' when ABs lose

I’ll say this for Eddie, he’s not afraid of potentially looking like a fool. I can’t bring myself to say this stuff behind a wall of anonymity on The Roar!

Thanks for taking the time to calm my nerves. You haven’t. But thanks for trying!

'Butch defence, Larkham glide': What Eddie sees in Test rookie as Wallabies make SEVEN changes

Thanks Brett. 70%. Just another thing to stress about.

It was 12.5 yesterday!!

He’s not first choice kicker for the Rebels.

'Butch defence, Larkham glide': What Eddie sees in Test rookie as Wallabies make SEVEN changes

Goal kicking looks like an obvious issue. Otherwise I’m so broken by the Wallabies performances over the last few years that all I can do is read the team sheet and hope for a miracle.

Well researched and educational article. Also confounding and panic inducing.

Rotten luck for Hooper. Waratahs ruined his Sydney farewell and now this. He has earned the right to have a last home win and now will have only RWC Championship victory to console himself with.

Exclusive: Wallabies bombshell as skipper Hooper set to be ruled out of Argentina Test

Excellent article. The sort that I have promised myself I will write on and off for the last 10 years! Agree with all of it. Congrats.

If possession rugby is dead then bury me with it. And if you're going to lose at least do it with heart and audacity

During live commentary Vunivalus lack of involvement was all we could talk about. I counted 4 box kicks for him and can’t remember him trying to contest one of them. He was chosen for his “air supremacy ” and didn’t catch the ball once. I usually avoid trying to pile on to one individual player after a thrashing but dropping Vunivalu will give the Wallabies an immediate 14 point start .

'What was with that defensive set up?': Jones-Hodgson combo must get up to speed fast with Fisher absence clear to see

I’m not sure now mate but we’ve lost every toss, had the worst of the batting conditions, lost Nathan Lyon and we’re leading 2 nill. That’ll do me just fine.

'Disaster': Wallabies hammered by Boks as Eddie Jones' return falls flat

Cricket we’re showing plenty of ticker. A pleasure to watch.

'Disaster': Wallabies hammered by Boks as Eddie Jones' return falls flat

I’ve written elsewhere that I didn’t necessarily agree with Cummins call but that I totally respected his right to make it. Now I furiously support him.

Prime whingers: Albo responds as British PM joins meltdown, Boycott demands apology, McCullum still sooking

I’m sorry. You are correct and I was summarising from something I’d read last night. And do you feel that the English fans are “accepting the umpires decision?” Do you feel that not qualifying it was done deliberately in order to leave room for vigorous argument? I’m comfortable accepting their decision and it seems to me that cricket would be better off if we all did.

COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it

By selective do you mean quoting directly from the paragraph referring to the Spirit of Cricket?

COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it

My initial reaction was call Barstow back. I would have been comfortable had Cummins made that call. But I am infuriated by those who believe it he has no right to make any other call. The preamble to the Spirit of Cricket in the laws of the game says, “the umpire’s word is final”. Ergo, whatever Cummins decides is well within the Spirit of the Game and the end of the matter.

I’m here in London as we speak and was at the game yesterday. The English fans have really built this series up to a national hysteria and today was the dam bursting. All the sensible pundits, and there are plenty, are comfortable with the decision and referring to Barstow as “dozy”. However this has given the others a sense of national outrage that we have stolen their summer from them. It’s very frustrating as an Australian fan that they are determined to keep painting us as cheats regardless of the laws of the game.

Whatever people say about M Hooper’s size, he has consistently chased more kicks than any other Wallaby in the last 10 years.

'Junkies for winning': How the Springboks, NRL are shaping Eddie's Wallabies 'blueprint'

Great article. Enjoyed your synopsis and agree with most of it. Puts our fullback conundrum into a tighter perspective and I’m not sure that I’ve seen a convincing argument for a solution yet.

'Junkies for winning': How the Springboks, NRL are shaping Eddie's Wallabies 'blueprint'

Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.
BBC radio trotting out the standard fare…”although we all hope he has a swift recovery…” they can’t hide the delight in their comments and Steve Smith’s interview can’t hide his worry. I’ll guarantee that the odds on an English Ashes series win will have just collapsed.

Gday PK. I’d also like to think that in a Wallaby team he’d have a bit more direction and support from other more experienced players around him. Unlike the unmitigated shamozzle he’s been playing with this year at the Waratahs.

'Bullet train Koroibete' and a 'true conundrum': How Eddie must find the 'angel' in heaven for World Cup glory

Apparently the weather was a factor in that declaration. Pitch looks depressingly dead. I really hope that it’s not a sign of things to come. 6 tests on pitches like this one will make for a long and tedious series.
