sorry he failed with Giteau – he got plastered in the final and went off and didn’t come back…yes Gits was good against England but then Japan could have beaten England last year…so in essence I agree with you – the chopping and changing will do more harm than good…

Cheika will surely mix up his selections against England

Boz the Younger – sorry the the Bledisloe is on the RIGHT side of the ditch….and it wont change…

Cheika will surely mix up his selections against England

it will be in translating that new confidence to the game…something Aussies always talk up but rarely deliver on…and I am being kind on this point. What the WBs need to do is – not say anything and just do the job…..something the ABs do really really well, it is when you hear the yak yak yak from the WBs that most people including the WB fans get turned off….I am happy to be proved wrong

Wallabies embracing high expectations against England

against the Hurricanes…

The Lions: Worthy African finalists

SBW and GM…a cool centre partnership

All Blacks name squad to face Wales, six uncapped players included

I really think Aussie rugby is not at any cross roads, they haven’t even got there yet….what is SKELTON going to bring to the pack..a big lumbering lock who doesn’t do lineouts and runs out of puff after a 50m run…come on people…Cheika is clutching at straws,. there is a paucity of good players in Australia and as Marto said on 360…1 or 2 or 3 injuries and hey presto….humpty dumpty will fall off the wall….but having said that…I still want them to beat England and just shove it up EJ…

Enough with the 'squad selection' cuddle - just pick a bloody team

doesn’t matter where he plays – he wont make a difference to the TAHS….Gibson went to CHCH thinking as an old boy of the Saders that he had a plan to beat them…well HELLOOOOOO…he got his but spanked good and proper and the TAHS showed how bad they are…FOLLOW caught a couple of kicks and 1 line break and that was it….he is of course AUSTRALIA’s next sliced bread….ummm NOT

Gibson's simple message: Give Izzy more ball

Tahs wont win and to say they play best when faced with REAL adversity – is that what has been happening for the games they have been playing….they are marshmellows…Phipps got burned by Ellis in CHCH, the Saders pack rolled the MIGHTY TAHS PACK ad infinitum…Skelton is hopeless, so is Palu – actually so is the whole forward pack…Folau goes missing in action, a couple of catches from high kicks, a line break and a lucky bounce of the ball for the winger to score….cant be relying on luck all the time, Chiefs will have too much nous and skill…easy win

Super Rugby tipping Round 14: Truckloads of green

Give him a bit of time and he will pop up as Irish, or French or Georgian or Yank or who ever else he wants to be…just a joke…the sooner World Rugby accepts the model of FIFA that you can only play for the country of your birth the better….soon England will do what Chelsea or was it Spurs did, have a team without one Englishman….that would be the biggest joke of all

Ben Te'o has earned his stripes for England, but should he be wearing spots?

he would be a great water-boy…even a medic…but he is NO GOOD playing FB, C or IC…he goes missing in action – Chiefs will befuddle him

Folau urges Waratahs to play with freedom

Don’t see anything special in those selections….not picking or blooding new young players will be Cheika’s undoing….ABs are going to have a field day…but one good thing….SKELTON is no where to be seen…

Wallaby squad for England (well a possibility at least!)

Aussie Rugby has ladled itself with a millstone…why would anyone want to play a lumbering 140kg lock that no one can lift in the lineout….what is it with Aussie Rugby….Cheika has a lot to answer for…and his options for the WBs are looking dire right now….TAHS got done, Force lost, Rebels lost….and Aussie rugby will get a home final because of the Conference system, just like SA…what a joke all of this is…the best 4 teams should be playing the finals regardless…and that will be 4 NZ teams or if it was 6…hell even the Blues could make it…

The Crusaders didn't take any prisoners in Christchurch

I don’t know if this is what he (Alaalatoa) wants but does anyone know if he wants to qualify for NZ??? especially if he is going so well with the Saders

The talking points: Super Rugby Round 13

My take on the 360 interview was that Cheika was masking and I mean MASKING a lot of known knowns, unknown knowns and known unknowns…he didn’t know, smacks of some worry and stress, the WBs are going to come together for the Poms and I am not sure they will be ready…then come the RC the ABs are going to be right on song after they demolish the Welsh to clean out both the WBs, the SBs (who have huge problems themselves) and the Pumas….not looking good at all

Cheika backs Lealiifano and Kerevi as Wallabies' 12

it’s the colour of the WBs jersey that is just not right….Yellow….c’mon – Kangaroos jersey colour is much better…but then you would look like the Saffas

Michael Cheika re-signs as Wallabies coach through 2019 World Cup

what a wonderful description of Australian conversation…onya

Michael Cheika re-signs as Wallabies coach through 2019 World Cup

well said Jokerman….I can’t believe how terrible his accent is…I mean…really is Aussie Strine that bad?

Michael Cheika re-signs as Wallabies coach through 2019 World Cup

In his first full season as coach, Cheika’s Wallabies won the Rugby Championship and made the World Cup final, ultimately losing to New Zealand. – and only after 1 game…c’mon…NZ beat him twice at the Garden of Eden and at Twickers….

and look what they did…made him coach of the year….what a joke!!!

It was enough to earn the former Randwick no.8 the 2015 award for World Rugby Coach of the Year.

I watched him on 360 and as much as he was trying to mask the crisis of who will replace Beale…I sensed big problems for the WBs….

Michael Cheika re-signs as Wallabies coach through 2019 World Cup

Sorry David, as good as he is…7’s is not ‘I will waltz in and do really well’ – just as Cooper….he is better off going back to the NRL

Leaving Jarryd Hayne out of Twickenham Sevens would be a major blunder

I wouldn’t say so about Havili and Crotty…Folau is an air-head….I don’t see anything special in him…he will be the Tahs Achilles Heel

Waratahs look to break Crusaders drought

Saders 62 v Tahs 3

Waratahs look to break Crusaders drought

SA didn’t make the RWC final either so what does that say? I think the Irish will win 3-0 and I’m not dreaming

Should Ireland be considered favourites against South Africa in June?

then it will go…SA are so far behind the 8-ball with the late appointment of the coach – how can he possible meld a team together in such a short time – of course SA will turn up to play but this is just dreaming stuff…

Should Ireland be considered favourites against South Africa in June?

of course if Fiji are stupid enough to play him in London (and at the expense of a loyal Fijian player who has given his lot throughout the years) he will become ineligible for the Wallabies…right??? World Rugby now count playing 7’s for a country as where you loyalty lies….soon he will be playing beach volley ball for Tuavalu or the Aboriginal Nation of Australia…what a joke

Why Hayne probably shouldn’t make the Fiji sevens side

The Rugby Union wont have any choice, if they want England (oops EJ wants) to be No.1 they have to change and further, having a cut of the profits….isn’t such a bad idea. with the ABs being the biggest drawcard they will want their share for sure…

Six Nations might move to April: Beaumont
