One of the things that strikes me is the number of leg injuries among Australian players (including many Wallabies), particularly a spate of acute…
Thanks KFTD. If only Eddie could weave a Clem Kadidalhoper skit into his next presser – brilliant!

One can only hope Big Will is inspired to emulate the renowned clown Red Skeleton and keep us all in good spirits until 2027

Good to see Eddie transitioning early to his encore career in comic relief. Provides a nice distraction. Unfortunately Will Skeleton does not have the comedic timing of his famous American namesake Red Skeleton.

The fitness on the wallabies is a valid question Spiro. I heard a conditioning coach with an elite armed forces background was shown the door at the waratahs in the mckenzie era – perhaps because of the rigor of the fitness regime.Be interesting to do some testing and comparisons of the waratahs fitness levels late season with those of the current touring group.

agree with comments on Simmons. Not sure what McKenzie sees in him. The argument that his incluion is essential as line-out caller is an indictment of the wallabies coaching staff, the coaching structures we have in place in this country as well as other senior players.Two qualities are essential in a successful forward pack at this level – the first is grit – those players who tirelessly get stuck in and never give an inch, the second is impact – the ability to turn a game through hard running across the advantage line and big hits – a la Owen Finnegan or Totai Kefu or perhaps even a Cliffy Palu of 3 or 4 years ago. Just like Dean Mumm – Simmons has neither of these qualities – time to go.
Steady as she goes for the Wallabies
….or perhaps Eddie is taking us all for Kadidlehoppers
