You are right but the biggest loss is ,not investing in the coaching, not at the top level but at the school levels . That’s where you create lifelong rugby players and if they leave to RL then there is more coming through the system .

RA reeling and facing a mass exodus of biggest stars - there are three key reasons why they're in peril

Yep , that is the issue of social media .
This usually is followed by , X should be in that position, Oh he’s injured or he’s never played in that position before, followed by , that coach is useless obviously doesn’t understand the game , followed by ,sack the board they are driving the game into the ground, followed by , player Y never tries and is useless or has long hair or something,followed by Im a rusted on supporter and I’ll never watch them again , followed by “but I will comment on something I didn’t really read” followed by obviously that journalist doesn’t understand anything, followed by “ oh , you agree ,therefore we are right” followed by rinse ,repeat.
Followed by , I tend to read the article, read a few comments and then go and do something else.

'We didn't want to show too much': Is Eddie bluffing in a high stakes game of rugby poker?

To be fair the wallabies have already shocked a fair few fans…
Saying that I actually rate his and Eddies approach , it may not work but what they used to do wasn’t working so , go hard.

'We're going to shock a lot of teams': Young gun bullish ahead of Wallabies' final pre-RWC Test against France

I think the more accurate way to explain Foley is that he usually won’t let a side down but he also can’t lead a team to win.

WILL GENIA: Quade is like a grand chess master - but Eddie must pick him and Bernard Foley for the Wallabies

Yep, his first 2 kicks last week found grass and his 3rd was contestable.

Carter Gordon has the gift of time - but how long until he gets to test himself in a Wallabies jersey?

I think sometimes people just write an opinion to show that they can write one, normally not really based on any actual knowledge. Those 2 seem to do it a lot, sadly.

'Eventually you find the courage': McKellar on rejecting Eddie, and Wallaby star he tips as future coach

Hmm , I mentioned that Wright reminded me of Reuben , you said he was useless, I had a look , because I didn’t know his stats , he was obviously far from useless. Im not from Canterbury or support them , so , righto champ.

Righto champ .

Yep , only 50 tests including some as captain, 80+ % test wins , 100 plus games for Crusaders, useless.

Wright reminds me of previous AB Reuben Thorne. Only seen by people who actually knew what to look for .

The key forward and back for every Australian Super Rugby team as they chase down finals spots

Yep, he’s an expert.

'It's like Shawshank Redemption, I’m institutionalised': Why Brad Thorn is stepping down from Reds

No , expectation is that support lines are run , hence no look passes. Larkham , or someone has added a lot more dimension to the attack.

Rieko is a sulky goose.

Analysis: The coach Eddie should bring on board for World Cup, why Tahs back-rower is turning heads

I can’t see a downside at all. What he’s doing is putting a blowtorch on the NZRFU to p1ss or get off the pot.

Rugby News: Wisemantel back, Barnes on board? Eddie rebuild begins, Wells named Force captain, Hodge says au revoir

Apparently the charge was down graded from yellow to some sort of vague pastel as he’s attending a course on positive social media posting.

Rugby News: Rassie BANNED for sarcastic Tweets, Ireland expect 'different vibe', ABs team named

Surely you can’t be right NB. According to the other experts on the Roar just about every Wallaby should be sacked , Rennie excommunicated and the water boy having his orange peeler taken away .
It surely had nothing to do with the Wallabies playing the current World Champs who played superbly.
They obviously were pathetic as the score was so horrific , oh , hold on …

ANALYSIS: How break downs at the breakdown cost the Wallabies, and the changes needed before ABs clash

Yep , I don’t get it and to be fair if people only want to see flair and entertainment then I don’t think they understand what they are watching.

Rugby News: Brodie back for All Blacks, Boks' wee drama, Bellamy wowed by Marika, Tahs make three signings

I wonder if the lateral backs and transparency of their moves negated the ability of any of the loosies to have any impact . Fix the backs and loosies at least have a chance of hitting holes and shoulders.

Why the Wallabies should be taking Argentina very seriously

So does he ask the opposition to kick to him?

RUGBYCOLOGY: The Wallabies player rival teams target at the restart, and why he's a weakness

Yep ,totally right .It was only 25 % of a test match they had 1 less player. Hardly worth adding any weight too. I thought the wallabies had the better of the score.

REACTION: 'Effing wild!' - Cooper crocked, Banks broken and Swain sent off - but Wallabies overcome chaos

Im still not sure about NL , I commented a few weeks ago that I didn’t think he had ever actually taken control of a game. I thought he had a good game .His last 10 minutes he actually took it hard to the line and made 2? breaks , hopefully that’s a watershed moment for him , if its not then …

REACTION: 'Effing wild!' - Cooper crocked, Banks broken and Swain sent off - but Wallabies overcome chaos

Total agree re Samoa but probably should include their scrum struggled and certainly the poor line outs by A helped them.

Diving.

WALLABIES TEAM: JOC, Tate left OUT of 23 in Rennie's Reds purge, Neville and Porecki to debut as Brumbies dominate

Yep, people love pulling others to pieces but to be what he is now he always must of had it in him.
