Mainly an AFL player, Ruckman, but long-time and passionate Rugby fan. I played rugby at Narrabeen school, Australian College of Physical Education (Teachers College) and while a volunteer in Nuku'nuku, Tonga. Second row, no 4 in lineout. I like to think that I invented the concept of the banana kick (or Check-side in South Australia where it was invented) when kicking for the sideline (boundary), especially when close to the sideline. The first time that I did it in a game was in 1975.

Great knowledge thanks for that
'It was remarkable RA couldn't see it': Quade slams Eddie chaos, praises 'phenomenal' McKellar
I like your suggestion: –
” I would have John Connolly and Laurie Fisher (assuming he’s retired) on the panel with one other from NSW. I would also pay a consultant from another country to provide an opinion…”
.
NSW = Rod McQueen
RA must not fixate on an Aussie coach - why Ronan O'Gara is best choice to lead Wallabies after the Eddie calamity
As AlanJones says… this position should be advertised !
And the right candidate selected by a RA panel.
.
The bigger question is . Who will be on the selection panel ??

Actually,

after this World Cup these tactics are exonerated !!
'What you live for': Boks beat England in World Cup EPIC to set up mouth-watering final against All Blacks
I thought that the All Blacks Should have won two (x 2) scrum penalties at the end of the game !
.
Trevor Nyakane had his hand on the ground both times.
.
Not Binding, Sir !
THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
It’s even got an Australian referee !

Yes, watched on Mute.

Mind you I’ve seen the odd
back-pocket built like a prop !
Some of them could kick it a mile …

But isn’t this always Borthwick’s style of play ??

Yes, I was tongue in cheek…
Sorry
'Keep thinking about that': Eddie's ONE great regret in WC shambles and sliding doors moment that cost QF place
It’s fair enough !
.
Quade dropped the ball once and got dropped mercilessly !

Never mind about that, Mr Pierre-Henry Broncan, what about your weak and ineffectual Maul coaching !!
'We need to change that': Wallaby coach blames Super Rugby for 'pressure' failure - plus daft selection policy that must be scrapped
Every time Eddie selects a team, we candidly see him admitting his mistakes
'Fall guy': Eddie doubles down on future, makes three changes as Wallabies sweat on RWC miracle

Revealed: The bloody ear that has proved a Rugby World Cup headache as Wallabies seek lineout fix
Yes, Philip and Kellaway should be back in the mix.

Yes agreed on Hodge, I am a fan.

Only other option, especially considering 12, might be JOC 2 … ?
Kerevi vs Semi: Can Eddie afford to go into crunch Fijian RWC clash with underdone Wallabies star
Good point, Olly, I think that’s the case ?? –
Say, if Ikitau did come into the squad for another who was out injured then if he was to play and was also to become out injured by hurting the same shoulder , then he couldn’t be replaced ??
Kerevi vs Semi: Can Eddie afford to go into crunch Fijian RWC clash with underdone Wallabies star
Hodge could be a good inside centre, IMHO, good defence, hard runner, likes to pass to teamate, knows 5/8 communication and can kick.
However I have always liked the way Foketi plays at 12 …

Nate – You don’t want White in the mix ?
.
Other posts are saying that he starts so as to play a kicking / lineout game and not run at the Fijians
,
in the very fear that they might run back!
.
.
Foketi/Perese could well be a good pairing …

Are you suggesting that if Christy asks the right questions then he would be favoured and even be given team selections a day early !
.
Surely you jest ?
RWC News: Eddie turns screw on ref, claims Wallabies' 'huge pack can dominate World Cup'
Can Donaldson even attempt these 50 meter goalkicks ?

His initials could be SV ??
Exclusive: Eddie to spring huge No.15 shock to start World Cup as Donno's 'natural game' gives him an edge
needed to also play another position

I think that Hodge is your man for that one ?

Match report, please

This is a left.field call but could Vermeulen be tempted to become a Wallabies assistant coach for Defence ?
I have read somewhere that his on field marshalling of his co.players was most beneficial for the Bokkes.
He would be untested, of course, but could be a great coach and Wallabies could poach him at a bargain price …!?
Excerpt from Planet Rugby:
“According to a report by the respected South African newspaper The Rapport, the Stormers will meet with Vermeulen again next week to discuss a role within their coaching structures. The report adds that the ex-Springbok turned down an offer to become the Bulls’ defence coach in their senior set-up last year as he wished to remain in Cape Town.”
