For the Brumbies-Luke Reimer and Tom Hooper- what a plus to come on considering Jerome Brown is already out there plus the usual Wallabies talent

'Roam, hit, run': The bouncer Eddie must find in the Wallabies' most open position

i dont think they wanted to give any hint away how they would beat the crusaders in the finals series plus they gave some new guys a chance to blood against “All Blacks”. Away against Crusaders, could not find a better opportunity

COMPLETE SRP Round 6 teams: Jorgensen returns to face Brumbies' big guns, Rebels welcome back Test stars

Team 1 by 20 points over Team 2

Make a note: Lynagh and Jorgo catch Eddie's eye as he drafts first Wallabies team, but there's a rebuke for Rory Arnold

I think that was mckellars fault

'Broken record': Ill-disciplined Reds given 'reality check' as Hurricanes make Lynagh's debut a tough one

2 world class 9’s helps

'Humble pie': Larkham's Brumbies spoil Waratahs party as young guns shine on Super Rugby debuts

Well Tahs supporters- its showtime. Perhaps after Friday night you can stop claiming you deserve 23 Wallaby spots. Cant wait to see the excuses. Tasty stuff

Super Rugby Pacific Rd 1 teams: Lynagh to debut against Hurricanes as Force make No.10 call

EJ joining the team has certainly changed the Australian Rugby landscape for sure. How long and how positive-that’s the question.
Some things that worry me under EJ, that were not a major concern under Rennie.
NSW and QLD Rugby powerbrokers !!! you only need to look at Super rugby channel 9 free to air coverage which every team wants for their sponsors
Force and Rebels 3 games, Brumbies 4, Reds 5 and Tahs a whopping 7 free to air. Is this how things are going to go?
Eddie is going to 2 Tahs trial games and spokea lot about sydney club rugby. EJ, it is not all about sydney rugby please
This brings me to the problem. Is Eddie already slanted towards for example Donaldson or edmed? There are other possible 10’s out there
I really feel for players in teams like Rebels, Force and Brumbies that don’t have the political clout that QLD and NSW rugby hold.
This could all go well- If it is fair.
Christy, please wear your unbiased pants reporting super rugby. I think they are 3rd draw down, right at the back if your not sure where they are !!

ANALYSIS: In just 30 minutes Eddie Jones managed what Castle and Rennie couldn't in three years

a new era of WALLATAHS- no thanks.

'Everything's on the table': RA considers Rennie's future, radical selection oversight, after Italy debacle

Wow- not a TAHs supporter but being so one-eyed RED supporter is embarrassing. Many REDS have been given chances and failed. Some even struggle at Super level LSL, Liam Wright, petaia, – Some should be given a chance like URU, and some are slowly getting there- Tate, Campbell. How you can knock Foketi, Porecki or Hooper has me shaking my head.

Rugby News: Rennie defends Hoops, Foley calls, claims ref erred, ex-Origin player replaces Seibold at England

Waratahs supporter much?

Double act: the co-captain Australia must pair with Hooper for World Cup glory

I am unsure what you QLD’s want. When your boys play , they dont play up to standard and you blame the guy next to them. How anyone can rate Wilson higher than Valentini is beyond me. i am a big fan of Wilson but he is slow developing into the player he should be. Of all the failed experiments, petatia is surely the biggest work in progress. everyone is talking about 10’s- what about 12’s-when Kerevi is out-the cupboard is bare

Wallabies DIY player ratings from Bledisloe 2: TWENTY fails as TRC finishes with a whimper, Samu still shines

Perhaps you should have nd then you might not be saying that. He was covered by a very good half in Lonergan

WILL GENIA: Wright can make it at 15 but he's not there yet, JOC must assert himself, reason attack is faltering

lets be honest. That is no secret !!! go everyone except the Brumbies

'Can come back stronger': Horan's verdict on QC's RWC hopes, our No.10 depth chart and his X-Factor pick

Another good article Tony
I am unsure why all the negativity. We lost but we were not disgraced by any means. Some silly choices, some bad rub of the green- the good news is we have some REAL depth now. Everyone was panicking on Locks- now proven test quality Neville, Swain, Phillip, Frost, Rodda, Holloway
Our front row will be better for the schooling they received over the series.
Hooper- has been great but this series was down. may not be the leader we need.
other 6,7,8 Harry will get there i am sure, so much potential, Valentini is great so is Samu. just need to work out combos
9’s white, Mcdermot, Gordon, Lonergan all can hold there own in a test
10′ still a problem if Noah is off song. he is still not a Barrett. donaldson not strong Aus A games.
12 Kerevi Wow
13 Ikitau getting better and better, Perez
Back 3 Andrew Kellaway, Izaia Perese, Jordan Petaia, Tom Wright, Suliasi Vunivalu, Andy Muirhead, Mark Nawaqanitawase and of course Koroibete
at any rate, QLD supporters who were screaming no REDs players. Look what has happened over the series. be honest on their performance

AUS vs. ENG studs and duds: What's up with Tupou, Wallaby who 'doesn't give enough', should Nic White be captain?

REDs were trailing both games and sometime by quite a lot. The Crusaders are not as kind as the Brumbies and certainly will not give ground to a very slow starting REDS. The Brumbies have a better chance of beating the Crusaders than the REDS if they can sort out heir forward pack issues. A bit Naive to think the REDS are the standout Aussie team when they have won both games by 2 points. The stupid part of Saturdy night that the Brumbies had so many guys able to dropgoal but no leadership to press the button.

The Reds can beat the Crusaders

So when you are frustrated beyond belief at Australian rugby, your choices are minimal.
1)Walk away and forget the game exists(pick it back up in heaven)
2)Protest like the Force have done. IF I had a Force shirt for Saturdays game I would wear it.
3)Vent on forums like this and hope the ARU are getting pressure from areas that monitor this. The fans are not happy and it has been for some time. We want AB pride in our team. No one likes to put Hanigan or Robertson down but there is no other way to voice the disapproval of selection of these ineffective and under done players.
4) unsure of other options
I for one would happily stand in front of any players or officials and cite why change needs to happen. Anonymity not required for this only trolls. I dont believe people are trolling.

Wallabies have re-established some pride, but now it's time to win

Thanks for speaking on behalf of most of the Australian rugby public. Win or lose this weekend Cheika, just put yourself on rotation for bad form. Best coach in the country at the moment needs a job- go DW

One debutant in Wallabies squad for clash against Argentina

Surely Timbo you are not that silly. Selections need to be won and earnt. Not given to people like Hannigan, Phipps or Roberts. Wearing that blue Waratahs jumper is certain pathway to green and gold. Just ask Simmons. You must admit, it REALLY smells.
We have a really poor back 3 at the breakdown. Cover Hooper a bit with a great number 6(not an L plater). So much Australian talent going to waste because of this silly man. Imagine what he could do if he picked a REAL team

WOW, Canberra crowd. and Cheika you still leave out Arnold (great game AGAIN), you leave Powell out and still persist with Phipps, you leave Hanigan in(so not ready and taking up more deserving players spot)
ARU is NOT NSW Rugby. Straighten this up or watch crowd numbers drop further. Nobody likes “jobs for the boys” which Hanigan, Foley, Robertson, Dempsey all are.

Cheika, if you want to coach the TAHS then coach the TAHs. Stop making that poor performing bunch of guys the Wallabies. Hanigan stays after that performance.Wow. Timani out??????
I respected you at the TAHS but you are blind to what is really going on. This is NOT NSW rugby……
And Rory out. for Simmons. Is this just a move to get talent all to sign up for the TAHS to play in the Wallabies.
John Eales and Brrett Robinson- you guys do know what it takes- get rid of him or leave yourselves….

Wallabies stick with similar team for Bledisloe 2
