Why would you do it ? Great coaches engender a style of play that is unique (hopefully), improves upon that which has gone before, and leads the opposition to question their own ability. Eddie’s record in recent times is appalling. England ended up one dimensional and Aust….I won’t even go there. Shortsighted by Japan RU to say the least.

Eddie Jones set to be appointed Japan coach six weeks after walking out on Wallabies

Big Wil, captain. I’m a fan. Great move Eddie.

'Surprised the hell out of me': Jones gets a 'disciple for life' with left field call on 'reluctant' World Cup captain

Big call if Eddie risks Kerevi, Bell, or Tupou in the first test match for 2023.

Why Eddie banned coaching staff from watching State of Origin, as tensions rise ahead of opening battle with Boks

Top 4…….not looking very likely. Obviously resting some key players but an embarrassing defeat. The ditch widens.

'Disappointing': Barrett's Blues smash Waratahs after white flag waved - but was it the right move?

Sensational news. We’ll done Stan….I was worried there for a while.

CONFIRMED: Stan Sport reveals plan for spring tour coverage of Wallabies, All Blacks and Springboks

The Wallabies seemed devoid of a game plan. They played too frenetically. We need a No 9 and 10 to slow the play and assess they right options. Nic White and JOC might correct things.

MATCH REPORT: Rennie called for a foot on the throat, but All Blacks' response was 'ruthless'

Agree with the majority of comments. Can’t believe that Pete Samu was left out after being rushed into the team post Crusaders. Banks is also a big oversight, especially given Beale’s last stint in NZ. And what’s with Dane Haylett-Petty? Out of form and has added little when he has actually played. We must be the only team going to Japan with one specialist winger. Bizarre!

Wallabies name 31-man squad for 2019 Rugby World Cup

Absolutely agree Spiro. Tom Banks must be selected at fullback. He’s looking more like Latham every game; dissecting the midfield from inside passes, and his towering, long return kicks from the 22 are essential if the Wallabies want to avoid being camped on their try line. Beale and DHP are nowhere near the standard. Let’s hope the selectors see sense.

Brilliant Brumbies must be rewarded at the Wallabies selection table after superb quarter-final

Absolutely agree Will. It would be great to at least endeavour to replicate the days of powerhouse No 8’s that gave us massive go-forward like Tim Gavin, Willie Ofahengaue and Toutai Kefu.

Wallabies crave a natural ball-runner at No.8 and it needs to be Naisarani

Seems to me a 6mth suspension and a fine would get RA out of their predicament. Folau would miss the RWC and still send a strong message about player behaviour, without the threat of ongoing legal battles. Poorly structured contracts leave RA with little choice but to soften their response.

Will Raelene Castle survive the Folau scandal?

Stop kicking away possession. Keep ball in hand and use the power of their big Fijians.

Reds stampeded by Bulls in Pretoria

Reds looked good after the 1st try. Then someone decided to employ the ‘let’s kick aimlessly’ tactic . Seriously? With average kickers (apart from Frisby) and against altitude experienced opposition…..madness. Ball in hand using their big Fijians was the order of the day. The Reds are improving but their gameplan and strategy need some serious revision.
