Waiting for Khun Phil to tell us how many Waratahs will be chosen for the Wallabies.

Tahs hammered by Hurricanes as finals hopes hang by a thread

Yes, i think 4 or 5 Highlanders will be in the ab`s test team, right.

Super Rugby shows that the Bledisloe Cup isn't going anywhere - one selection could give the Wallabies hope

You do know the Tahs are second last on the ladder and very well could end up with the wooden spoon and yet you advocate for 4 of their forwards to play test rugby?
No idea.

Super Rugby shows that the Bledisloe Cup isn't going anywhere - one selection could give the Wallabies hope

How about the Aussie selectors pick players who are mongrels at the breakdown.
That is still a major weakness of the Wallabies.

” Already the last test result was 30-zip to NZ in league Watch the NRL disintegrate and cry if NZ got serious about League. In 20 years NRL is whinging they cant beat NZ sides”

The previous test last year was a flogging to the Kangaroos.
How many Rugby League world cups have New Zealand won? Who won the last world cup ? and how come the Warriors have never won a grand final?

'Curse the money all you want' but RA must work out what it wants from Super Rugby - otherwise the game is doomed

I`d still give them a chance TWAS, you never know, they might just click and the canes will have egg on their mugs if they do.

'There's almost two of me': Familiar face set for Rebels debut

Looks like you have an affection for Ken Leg, understandably as you are his offspring, right? A daddy crush??

Not super, Cooper: Quade's Wallabies recall mission begins with yellow card, thumping loss in Japan

Not all. The Reds don`t need their players.

A disastrous decline: 10 Years since the Waratahs won the Super Rugby title and reasons behind growing list of problems

2016 2017 2018 2019 2023 definitely worst years ive seen in my time watching.

1987 1988 and 1996 were pretty poor as well.

Broken promises, sacrificial lambs and a monumental low blow - goodbye, good riddance to 2023 for Wallabies fans

” Toulouse have an operating budget this season of about 50m”
Nice, hasn`t made the surrender cheese monkeys win a Rugby World cup yet.

The Wrap: What will the Wallabies' external season review reveal that we don’t already know?

“The wallabies sucking at the World Cup has got more press coverage globally”
How will that be good for the game here? Why would youngsters who play rugby want to be associated with losers when they can play in a professionally run NRL.

The Wallabies are the Wests Tigers - Neither fan base will be happy with that comparison or their team's prospects

” Even possible Rugby League forward recruits would get monstered by South African, Argentinian, French and Welsh forwards.”

The rest of your points are fine, but i somewhat doubt the above would happen regularly. It may in fact go the other way with some good coaching. If there are any good rugby coaches left in Australia anymore.

Payne Hass, Issah Yeo, Lindsay Collins. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, Liam Martin, David Fifita, Thomas Flegler, Patrick Carrigan, Ryan Matterson, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Liam Knight, Matthew Eisenhuth, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Daniel Saifiti, and Jacob Saifiti would go well.

'Be Australian': How the RWC QF classics showed we must urgently define and deliver our own style

That`s interesting, i wonder why the NSW selectors didn`t pick him for origin from 2006-2013 when they were getting thumped. Not good enough perhaps?

From painting to the World Cup: Why NRL coach didn't run from Eddie's call - and how he's adding to the Wallabies

Jason Ryles ? Eddie should have hired Steve Price or Petero Civoniceva , they were winners and towelled this bloke up everytime they faced each other in State of Origin. They knew how to win, Ryles bottled it everytime in Origin.

Foley is not a great kicker.Noddy and Flats were.

Wallabies player ratings: Taniela explosive, Marky Mark dynamite - but lineout and midfield fail to ignite

Donaldson wasn`t even the best 10 at the Waratahs.

Exclusive: 'Think he's very upset, mate': Quade rejected Eddie's call after brutal omission - and hasn't been heard from since

Hodge can goal kick. So can Nick White, Flyhalves don`t have to be the goalkicker.

'Player of the future': Jones' praise for Gordon as Horan calls on young gun to start for Wallabies

Donaldson leaving. i saw that coming, too many flyhalves on the books. What i cant grasp is why they have let Harris go but kept Swinton. Harris will be a very good player and is the future of the Tahs. They have let the wrong player go. Looks like they have gone all in on Gleeson as the number 8 and said bye bye Will.

'World class': Wallabies playmaker leaves Tahs as another three-way battle for 10 jersey looms

Former ab Daniel Braid aso played in 2010 for the Reds at openside. They won the comp next year. He also played very well in 2010. Gave his all. Rose the standards i`d suggest to all around him. Disappointed he left but Beau and Liam took over in 2011 and did their job.

Rugby News: Kiwi players' boss backs RA's Super draft plan, Canes coach still moaning about Berry role in no-try call

“Ardie scored the try, there’s no doubt about that” Holland comes across as a bit of a whinger.

Agreed Ray, Neville is a mongrel, Jed Holloway is not. Jed is weak at the cleanout and breakdown in general which has been the achilles heel for the Wallabies for years. The Wallabies need a strong presence at the breakdown and Neville is superb there, Holloway is not. Neville is better in every aspect at lock than Holloway, better jumper caller and stronger in maul plus he is bigger, 122 kg and 7 cm taller then Jed. Love Cadeyrn, first picked lock in my Wallaby team with Phillip and Frost.

Australia's Super Rugby Team of the Year: Our experts name their first XVs for 2023

None of those current players are Aussies though. We haven`t got the same talent to experiment like they can.

Wallabies Power Rankings: Foley fires, Carter slays as QC returns, 9s battle rages - how every RWC hopeful is tracking

Totally spot on Doc. We`d have to change the whole dynamics of the Wallabies pack just fit in Skelton. If we were a well functioning lineout and had a hooker who hits his targets 95 percent of the time yes, maybe.But we aren`t, so for me it is sorry mister Skelton, you are not welcome. It is a massive NO from me.

ANALYSIS: The attribute that makes Will Skelton world class, and why he should start for Wallabies at RWC

Congrats Marika, Magnificent player .Gives his everything on the pitch has a very high workrate and is a very solid defender.He is first picked along with QC Lenny and SK. The rest of the backline is up for grabs.

'Passion and skill in perfect measure': Marika wins second John Eales Medal despite missing Spring Tour

Eddie might do a Waugh Smith with Fraser and Hoops. It worked so well 20 years ago.
