And as great a player as Kerevei has been, anyone with a modest amount of rugby nous could see he was well below his best in the warm up matches and at the RWC. Coming back from an ACL and based on his performances this year, it was extremely poor decision making to put him in the run on team and expect him to be playing at his peak. He has been quite ineffectual at Test level

'F--king works so hard, bro': Wallaby star's message to angry fans after World Cup calamity

And spend the $$ keeping our best junior talent instead of letting the NRL sign them

Why the Wallabies shouldn't miss out on the next Joey and try to lure Cleary for 2027 World Cup

Izzy was great but not the complete fullback Burkey was. I thought Lote never looked 100% at home playing rugby despite having some great moments. I’d be very happy if we never buy an established NRL player again but sign up promising juniors and keep them.

Says it all. I thought you had made that part up about taking a decade but I checked and he did say that. Like many, I want to see him go but who would replace him? Realistic candidates? Wallabies coach does seem to be the archetypal poisoned chalice

'It's incredible!': The once ridiculous question that shows how far Wallabies stocks have fallen after 'bad hangover'

“So your’e saying there’s a chance!” 😂

'Fall guy': Eddie doubles down on future, makes three changes as Wallabies sweat on RWC miracle

Why the F are we trying to buy someone who is 27 and will take 2 years to come to grips with the modern game? Better to spend all this $$$ on promising junior rugby players before the NRL snaffle them. Could probably get 2-4 for the price of a 27 yrl old NRL player. And if handled properly, they could develop into next gen rugby match winners. Just more dumbassery and short sightedeness from management HQ. So sick of obvious stupidity.

Donaldson was absolutely dreadful at 10. He can only be in because he’s the only reliable goal kicker apart from Nick White who has been dropped

'Fall guy': Eddie doubles down on future, makes three changes as Wallabies sweat on RWC miracle

Yep, its been a Psy-Opera and a helluva ride with a horrible ending. Question is as wallaby fans, how prepared are we to go round 2 with Eddie at the helm in 2024? Not sure I am up for going on this ride twice

DENIED (sort of): Jones finally addresses Japan job report but a big question still remains

Great idea – because if they have not delivered stellar results by end of 2026, then clean out the coaching staff and start again just before RWC2027, that’ll work!

'Coaching staff is outstanding': Eddie assistant's bold call on 'eclectic' crew - despite their smash and grab flop

Maybe the strategy is to pick a ‘young inexperienced’ coaching team who will ‘go through some rough times’ now but be brilliant by the RWC 2027. I hear their training sessions have been going real well

'Coaching staff is outstanding': Eddie assistant's bold call on 'eclectic' crew - despite their smash and grab flop

He is 63 and had a stroke when coaching Japan. Putting aside the anger and disappointment I feel, maybe he should do himself a favour and take a break, consider retirement or semi-retirement. He can’t be doing this for the money. Enjoy his life, maybe consult part time for a club in Japan

Eddie Jones should be celebrated not booed: Why the worst thing RA could do is sack the Wallabies coach

Christy, usually your articles are v good but on this occasion, you have served us a pile of BullSht and told us it’s roast beef.

Eddie Jones should be celebrated not booed: Why the worst thing RA could do is sack the Wallabies coach

wow, missed that. Certainly does.

World View: 'Dictator' Jones smashed for 'abject surrender' as furious SBW slams coach for tainting careers of youngsters

He would be a divisive disaster, within weeks he would have most people offside.

Upside down bizzarro world. Get League and AFL coaches for your assistant coaches. Why would you want people experienced with rugby? Leave your most experienced players out of the squad. What could they possibly have to offer? Especially for the young players replacing them. Change the team week to week. Whoever said cohesion is important? Start the most important game of the last 3 years with the least qualified player in the most (or one of the most) critical position. Game plan? Ha, give yourself and uppercut mate. I feel like a fool, I was one of the ones saying don’t be negative, give Eddie a go and get behind the team. Well we did just that. This is the worst I have ever seen the Wallabies play and I have been watching them for nearly 30 years. This was an utter crap show. Gutted.

'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival

Ireland played as a team, everyone knew their job and did it. Very impressive. Boks were very good too but Ireland disrupted them all day at the breakdown. Goalkicking the difference, wonder if Pollard will return and what they will do with Libok who (apart from goalkicking) is a superb player

REACTION: 'In your head!' - Irish fans celebrate epic win with rousing rendition of 'Zombie' after Boks botch job

Despite All Blacks being a bit below their best and Italy being their best for a long time, I could not see Italy getting within coooeee of the All Blacks, let alone score 4 tries. They needed the luck to be in Pool C or D to have a decent chance for the quarters.

Dire diagnosis as scans reveal damage to Dupont, plunging France's RWC campaign into doubt

Namibia have been extremely poor in all their appearances at RWC. They are obviously not making any meaningful progress. Nations that do should be rewarded.
I would much rather see USA/Canada who at least would put up a decent fight. Today’s match was little more than a training run for France and they have lost their best player, hopefully back for knockouts.

Dire diagnosis as scans reveal damage to Dupont, plunging France's RWC campaign into doubt

yes, as long as Wales don’t score 4 tries and we get all 5 points against Portugal

This is no time for X-factor: The Wallabies' challenge is to find a structure to out-structure super-structured Wales

seems to be the case. If AUS beat Wales, head to head can’t be used.

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

Gee I hope your’e right, Wales losing to Georgia would be a big help but I think Wales are a bit underrated. They have a sharpshooter in Dan ‘the mouth’ Biggar who can slot penalties from 50 out and drop goals if need be. They have decent attack when they choose to use it and just seem to do enough to get the job done. with the stakes high in tournament rugby with Mr Warren guiding them, I have no doubt they will do the job on Georgia and I fear it may be too late for Wallabies to pull it all together for this Monday. Wales know how they will play, what they need to do and who their team is..Wallabies – Who TF knows?

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

If we beat Wales with a BP for 4 tries and they lose by 7 or less with 4 tries, we are also out

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

Because we lost to Fiji. If 2 teams are tied on points, the team that won the match finishes ahead. Points difference is considered only if the match was a draw

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

Problem is, we need to beat them well. A close win with a couple of tries each with Wales getting a losing bonus point won’t be enough

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

Wales seem to be able to do what they need to do though and won’t rest players for the Georgia game. They seem to have some real steel in them and aren’t quite the pushovers they used to be
