Ikitau is 24, he is the next generation

'Weeks you remember': Eddie eyes Wales takedown, bats away questions of psychological damage after new low

That Stan issue happens all the time for me when trying to watch a live game from the start but beginning to cast to a television, joke of a system. Alas, we have nothing else to watch the games with.

The horror five minutes that put Wallabies' World Cup on life support as Eddie's huge 10 call falls flat

That’s bang on right JN, but my despair comes from the fact I know we won’t be winning anything with EJ coaching and an administration that keeps passing the buck onto equally poor administrators that have no clue/are completely ignorant to the actual solutions the sport here needs

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Key Wallabies duo out, Frost back and hooker swap for 'most important match of World Cup'

And where is the relevance of any of that? Regardless, you don’t need to remind Aus rugby fans – we are fairly well acquainted with the notion that the game here is in serious peril.

UPDATE: Clearest sign that Wallabies captain Skelton is OUT of Fiji game, coach names back up skipper

I’ve lost all hope JN. EJ’s appointment was another in a long line of failures from RA and the game will continue to be killed by such decisions. Barely any mention of the RWC over in Aus atm – a stark difference to the last two world cups in France.

It’s disgusting what’s happened to Cooper and Ikitau in particular. I’m absolutely livid

Comment: Eddie Jones has taken risks by naming his big three for Wallabies opener - but he had to

Eddie definitely had to take risks in his selection. He’s dropped everybody else who was eligible!

Lost me mate. Team is in freefall, the code is too

Exclusive: Eddie to spring huge No.15 shock to start World Cup as Donno's 'natural game' gives him an edge

I’m hoping he means Jake Gordon

Moment that put halfback on the map - and why Wallabies bolter could have big role to play at RWC

Eddie makes a mockery of us wallaby supporters. Hollow comment at best when we’ve copped it for 20 years. RA surely crashes and burn soon, this level of performance will kill any remaining support here quick smart.

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

Cheers for the info. Shows with the right exposure to competition and well placed pathways for development that we will continue to see these teams become more and more competitive. I lament at the lack thereof in Australia because we are quickly going to be overtaken.

Who caught Eddie's eye? Swinton, Pietsch star in 'underwhelming' Aus A win over RWC rivals Portugal

Australian rugby is dead in the water isn’t it? If a team made up of wallaby players plays as poorly as Christy describes that’s pretty disheartening

I’ve never been worried seeing DdA lineup against the wallabies but Andre is a different beast

'It stings, it hurts ... we got exposed': All Blacks alarm bells ringing after Springboks dish out worst EVER defeat

I’d be keen on Andre the Giant at 12. Think he offers more than DdA. Moodie played well at 13 too but agree Kriel would be a good addition. Lots of good problems in the bok backline.

'It stings, it hurts ... we got exposed': All Blacks alarm bells ringing after Springboks dish out worst EVER defeat

This has never been truer. I think lots of fans when analysing performances of their teams still have the legacy of the 2000-2015ish rugby landscape on their minds, in which that period was typically an outright strong top 2/3 with the rest of the others behind. Of course also in that time NZ dominated. However the game has changed and really the top 10 can be pretty competitive now, with the top 5/6 most thick with world class talent. This result is a shock when you think about it historically but in actual fact it’s not really. Boks were men possessed tonight

Bench scrum going to be monstered as usual. Don’t mind Schoup, he scrummaged well at SR level, but Nongorr is barely able to hold up his side at the level below. Plenty of potential but he’s being thrown to the wolves by Eddie.

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Eddie makes four changes in final pre-World Cup hit out, Suli and Foketi named

Watch Vunivalu get exposed again this time by the quick and skilled French wingers. If the match vs the boks was anything to go by, will get ugly down that channel.

Wouldn’t mind him at all!

'Cancel his citizenship!' PM weighs in, ABs 'gobsmacked', as Hansen explains why he's helping Wallabies

Plus they missed a bunch of kicks at goal. That margin goes out to 25 on conversions

UK View: England like 'totally shot', 'brainwashed zombies', invoking 'fury and dejection' and worse than under Eddie

At this rate, that sounds sadly accurate

Exclusive: 'I back him 1000%' - RA chair endorses Eddie's 'bold, brave' Wallabies selection for RWC

That’s too much (un)common sense for one day. RA doesn’t do that, it’s too difficult

Exclusive: 'I back him 1000%' - RA chair endorses Eddie's 'bold, brave' Wallabies selection for RWC

I thought 20 years was pretty patient – unless it’s a 100 year plan?

Mate rugby is on its knees here, slowly been killed off over the last 20 years. Imo it’ll take the game going completely broke and rebuilding over a 20 year span to get itself back to where it was. Unfortunately, the administrators can’t seem to think proactively and make the hard decisions. It seems only when the administration dies from lack of money will we finally rid the sport of the recalcitrant parasites in it for a salary, small-minded thinking and politics on a local and state based level.

Eddie was right about one thing in epic spray - the Wallabies must stop being reactive and accepting of mediocrity

Farcical. Waugh’s comments don’t even make any sense. How he is ceo is disgraceful. The third tier isn’t about injecting fans and passion into the game it’s developing talent. NPC, Currie Cup etc, these other third tier comps elsewhere are designed purely to develop players. Sadly by the time we get our priorities straight on this rugby will be dead.

Why RA CEO is leaning into 'beating heart' of club rugby in third tier plan as crunch talks loom

Yeah his hyperbole can be pretty hyper, but I can’t help but feel after seeing these selections that Jones has been looking for an excuse to swing the axe on a few players. Christy, with his apparent inside knowledge, noting the knock on in this article who knows how that played into EJs mind re Quade. I suppose it is conjecture but it wouldn’t surprise me. Nonetheless, Eddies gameplans were never going to maximise Quade’s ability

Eddie has done what was needed four years ago and ripped the bandaid off. Now he's breathed life into Aussie rugby
