Is cryptic an anagram for stupid?

Wallabies vs Scotland: Did I see what I needed to see?

Because he questioned the ref ? Because if AAA had put his arm down an inch before the Scottish old mates chin ? Because of Slippers scrum penalties , which I’m interested in reading about from probably slightly more qualified people than me or , I assume you . But please outline further , you are obviously an expert , on the keyboard.

Battered Wallabies fired up for England

Could be , he’s certainly raised some interesting questions.

Scotland forward hails Rennie's 'brutal, brilliant' Wallabies, shares big insight into his ex-coach

or does he mean wingers are borderline players? Hope he writes an article soon….

Certainly not all his fault but more indicative of poor coaching and poor players decision making , including his own . I rate him but he’s a perfect example of an incredible talented player with flaws that were never corrected by himself or by his coaches . Maybe some issues have been fixed while away?

The Wrap: Why the long face? Wallabies availability issue is just par for the course

Maybe Beale ran sideways because no one in Aus taught him not too ? There seems to be a lot of players with issues play o/s and come back far better , not sure why that is .

Tool,why do you bother?

'A chance to change perception': Successful spring tour would mean more than usual for Wallabies

Jo Brial is/ was in the Canterbury rugby colts programme

Son of Wallabies hero and ex-Schoolboys winger called up as Japan names squad to face Wallabies

Hard to tell , his longitude and latitude are pretty close so hard to tell if he’s standing up or not .
I think the oposition props have no where else to go .

Is Taniela Tupou top of the props?

I didn’t realise this was court case.

'No justification for secrecy': Rassie fails in bid to have World Rugby hearing open to public

Sadly this is the sort of crap where winning at any cost is what counts.
IRB should bring together a committee , involving suitable players,coaches, administrators and come up with comprehensive protocols to cover referees roles on the paddock, coaches, water boys etc and how to support and manage the above .

Good lawyers , that’s an oxymoron isn’t it , good rugby players I understand.

Erasmus misconduct hearing set for October

Why’s that? Genuine question, I don’t even know who’s able to be called in and from where.

Harry ,which country would you prefer to supply the judiciary?

Erasmus misconduct hearing set for October

Jack, I agree with some of what you say. I thought when I watched Donaldson he looked good despite what was going on around him , that’s observational not rationalization.
I hope NL does come back as well, but if he doesn’t, there are others.

Lolesio to miss northern tour after slipping behind Quade, JOC

Totally agree re match conditions etc but if there are issues in your game why expose them unnecessarily , if you have suitable alternatives use them and try to fix the issues . I actually have never seen that much in Lolesio that obviously others do , I really thought Donaldson when he had a stint behind a loosing pack, looked far more composed .
I seriously rate Rennie as he seems to have a very considered approach in building depth , team cohesion as well as tactical awareness and application but I must admit I do wonder occasionally why he sticks with some players who would appear to be not fulfilling a role as well as maybe they should and also when he introduces reserves into a game but, hey, he knows far more than me and Im happy enjoying the ride .
I also wonder what influence that he may have in the ARU as they too are starting to look like an organisation that finally gives a stuff about the game.

Lolesio to miss northern tour after slipping behind Quade, JOC

He could start with his kicking which didn’t go so well under the later games, probably also do a bit of work on his head if the kicking problem was due to pressure.

or just change your formula , the second best player usual studies what the best player usually does and plans for that . Im sure their was an asian gent that wrote a whole philosophy on that …

'Bring back that wild waterboy': The Boks are 'sick' and maybe a return to Rassie is the only cure

I think your right , if a one dimensional plan is all you have then all you need is a one dimensional answer to negate it. Once that happened ,they only had answers that they had never really believed they would need . Cheiks plans also were like that .
Wallabies with heart and mind at the same time, been a long time since that last happened !!!

and makes room for more beer.

Will the Wallaby scrum survive scrutiny by beer-loving Frans Malherbe, the sweatiest prop in the game?

Hodge out , JOC on bench as a vastly superior Hodge .

'He gets bloody angry': Nic White wins Wallabies start after fiery impact in Boks triumph

From memory there was at least 2 Springboks covering him on the right , perfect opportunity for a Stu Wilson body swerve.

Rugby Championship turnaround: What a difference a Quade makes

Its interesting isn’t it , against slower more structured teams the wallabies ,within reason , have coped ok but put them against a similar style to ” the Aussie style” , I don’t actually know what anyone means when they say that (is it a reference to mistakes made faster? ) its the speed of the counter attack that undoes them usually.

'A grovelling apology from me': World reaction to Quade brilliance and 'one dimensional' Boks

I get the feeling there is a cultural fix going on in the team, started by the coach but being embraced by the players . Last number of years the players/coaches/selectors seemed to care but didn’t care enough to fix their shortcomings .
The board seems to be swinging into line as well , now if only the NSWRU got the same memo…

A rapid Wallabies turnaround, and other non-Cooper observations

By teaching the first three you mentioned.

Wallabies need an urgent injection of composure ahead of Springboks and Pumas
