I hope he goes great. He is a fantastic person and player!
The reluctant skipper: Marsh explains captaincy backflip as full-time appointment looms
I used to get paid to play without loving the sport at all.
People paid me heaps to destroy others, legally.
RA's 'devastating, no substance' response to Wallaroos shows exactly why rugby is being left behind
This is a good story and what rugby should be about. They’re both addicts and like Smith and Labushagne in the cricket, you wouldn’t want to be around them for to long.
What they say is neither here or there but great for the media boys.
How the team performs is everything.
'Cancel his citizenship!' PM weighs in, ABs 'gobsmacked', as Hansen explains why he's helping Wallabies
It is not crazy at all. Jones is going all in for the long shot after telling us these young guys will make mistakes because that is how you learn. So you lose pretending or lose trying.
His best bet is going whole hog because these guys can only improve and they will have a go.
The main problem being big Union games pretty much always come down to experience.
It doesn’t seem to me we have any of the best players so they have to gel and go for broke.
Jones has nothing to lose. He is on the big bikkies, got parachuted in on a whim of the all time worst CEO of Rugby Union Australia, being a Mcsomething.
This is his long shot, best shot chance. It’s like backing the outsider in the Melbourne Cup.
It can happen in the Melbourne Cup but these guys have to play a few times so they are on a learning curve.
They won’t win but are capable of scoring an upset which is all that Jones, Mcsomething want to tie their halos to.
UK View: England like 'totally shot', 'brainwashed zombies', invoking 'fury and dejection' and worse than under Eddie
😂 . Like name one. Total b/s Kangas. Everyone wants Wiegman now but here they worship Guus Hiddink who did sfa except organise. He was never a maestro but knew what he needed. The French and Argentinian mens coaches put on a master class of tactics in the Mens World Cup final but you still need the ball in the back of the net, so the winning fans can pat themselves on the back with their mastercoach while the losers are out hunting for Mr Fixit.
Noticeably France, Germany, don’t buy into that but it requires strong leadership from their national FAs.
All Roarers wanted Arnold long gone but his current team is one we should be proud of.
They’re contesting everything and trying to score goals.
We don’t have the class in Mens or Womans to dictate the play as Spain did to England and England to Australia. The confidence of the Spanish woman to take on everything was obviously a mindset instilled by the coach eg “You’re better players, show the world” because that is what they did.
Their short passing was at or above the male game level. I was amazed.
It looked like the Poms were to.
Classy Sweden deny Matildas third-placed finish as Gustavsson keeps status quo
Yes we see your comments Brainstrust but Gustavson is an expert and you are most obviously not. Having an opinion doesn’t make you right.
It's time for football in Australia to grow up and stop being so naïve
The Australian girls, Kerr included feign injuries. Before the Cup in the French game I think, Kerr went down and was writhing away and the little Korean ref came over and told her to get up and play, to the hopeless commentators’ horror. And Kerr did just that, got up and ran off.

Have to agree about Carpenter. She used to carry the ball strongly and beat tackles. But seemed to be out of form or outclassed in the last two games.

The player coming into the top of the box for the cross rebound (normally Fowler) often wasn’t there.
Classy Sweden deny Matildas third-placed finish as Gustavsson keeps status quo
It is noticeable that England brought a tactic of physical intimidation to the Australian game, apparently previously unseen from the English girls. It had an affect and Sweden did the same throughout. Australia were on fire for a period in the second half against England but got weary when England scored again. Quite often that is the case when you’re getting beaten and running out of ideas.
We didn’t really create a lot against Sweden because the normal creators were getting hussled and getting no room to move.
Noticeably we didn’t get the lift expected when the bench players came on.
Classy Sweden deny Matildas third-placed finish as Gustavsson keeps status quo
Fourth place is the best we’ve ever done. So congratulations to the Matildas under the huge weight of expectation from playing at home in front of adoring fans.
We got shown up in the last two games but we see what is required.
It’s apparent that talent identification and development has worked for the Queensland players and when the whole country has this we can only be better.
Spain have only played in three World Cups making the last 16 once.
Pretty much their whole team play at home, many of them at Barcelona.
And probably some of their best players aren’t here because they objected to the coach.
We have so many here having watched soccer for the first time, know everything and want
to blame our coach. Its what poor losers do!
Classy Sweden deny Matildas third-placed finish as Gustavsson keeps status quo
A pathetic response is to blame the ref as the Union guys love to do. It would have been beyond Brainstrust to notice that the other teams had better players and played to their strengths.
Limp blame games are what sad losers do.
Classy Sweden deny Matildas third-placed finish as Gustavsson keeps status quo
I disagree Sheek. These guys are pro footballers and two games per week is the requirement in tournament play. They knew that coming in.
It might not have been apparent to you but England had most of the best footballers on the park and their one touch possessions meant we were chasing hard. That’s why we got worn out.
They’ll be fine after 3 days, though the Swedes got a day extra.
Kerr has been injured so isn’t as match-fit as the others. She is the best and on her day would have nailed all three second half chances normally, such is her quality.
It wasn’t to be but Australia did create good chances and if we do that again against Sweden we have a good chance of winning. The Swedes have lost in semi-finals time after time so will be worse off than us who have never played for third place before.
But anyway I think it’s a meaningless match, but nevertheless an international game.
And always good to win.
Who got third in the mens World Cup?
Thank you, Matildas, for the wonderful memories
Eddies also over the hill. Just a grumpy old man now cashing in on a feeble clueless brown nosed RA boss.
'Hissy fit' or 'distraction'? How the rugby world reacted to Eddie Jones' 'tirade of abuse for the ages'
A World Cup bid won’t be successful anyway. I can’t remember who decides but you can be pretty sure the Americas, Africa, European, Asian nations are in front of us.
This football World Cup was a massive achievement for Australia/NZ sport and it won’t happen again inside 20-30 years.
World Cup Diary: Matildas star to miss again, Tony G in frame for US job, Fed Square live site canned
I dislike every sport going for a free ride and it seems swimming benefits most though appeals to few, apart from Gold medals. Expensive Gold medals.
I think Queensland have shown what is required in Football (soccer) and the other states need to do likewise and hope for success in 20 years time. We have the talent but not the long term vision from those that wannabe heroes today.
To me the Matildas have shown that Australia can achieve in the “World Game” and we need to take notice. The men are playing as well or better than we ever have in history.
Believe! I think its organisation not money that delivers.
'We don't want to make World Cups, we want to win one': Matildas inspire nation as calls grow for football home to rival England's
As opposed to going straight into Pollies pockets, though as we see with the lobbyists, that bit comes later.

I think it should be an oval 25000 (or less) seat stadium. You may get the crowd but will get the atmosphere and can play one off soccer, rugger games. The crowd are sitting on couches with a TV remote in hand.

Well Perez is flat out beating the rest of the field in the unbeatable Red Bull R19.
Perez is no slouch and is showing up Verstappens superiority.
I’m really liking Piastris performances. Right up there with the best of all time for rookies.
I’m thinking he’s in for a huge money offer from Audi to front their F1 campaign in 2026.
Generally rookies crash the cars (their fault and including the likes of Verstappen). But Oscar appears to me to be at a higher level. Let us hope the current run continues.
Unbeatable Verstappen, Red Bull still has wings and Lewis Hamilton's revival: Formula 1 midseason recap
Never kowtow to politicians. Our lot are insipid Uncle Sam brown noses and are dictated to by Rupert Murdoch (Albanese at the Channel 9 wingding in NSW today to pay his homage for being hated). And the rest at the mercy of whoever will pay them the biggest bucks when they retire. See Bishop, Robb, Hockey, Pyne etc. Corrupt in a loose version of the word, to the bone. Weasels. Stick to soccer.
England outplayed us with better players but we had our opportunities to capitalise and score but unfortunately didn’t. They nailed their fewer great opportunities.
There are always fine margins. People love to proportion blame but there wasn’t.
World Cup Diary: Matildas obliterate viewing records AGAIN, Foster comes for royals over 'patronising' Tweet
Well they are either dishonest or grossly incompetent. Dollars talk for incompetent swill.
There can’t have been a more hopelessly incompetent bunch of bozos to choose for the job.
I see on the BBC website a mock forum of Poms reckon its the worst in history. They blame it on Australia of course. We do have clowns that worship money!
'Mockery', 'broken game', 'laughing stock': Rugby rages as red card reversal clears Owen Farrell for World Cup
Despite being beneath capacity I’m pretty sure you couldn’t buy tickets to many of the games. They showed up online as sold out.
My doctor, the surgery nurse there, a building inspector in the waiting room. All had tickets to World Cup games. None had ever seen a soccer game before. I’m sure this would be common throughout Australia and New Zealand public.

But the Brisbane Lions did!

Says a lot about you Caniva. Is this your first time on the roar?
Six Points: The ARC got Petracca 'touched' call spot on, and the Matildas lesson the AFL must learn
So Hardwick has found his sugar daddy. Gold Coast scooped and will pay through the nose for what.
Hardwick initially failed at Richmond then instead of getting sacked, got sent to the USA to learn how to manage.
Came back and delegated and who wudda thought/ succeeded?
Now with the bloated ego he knows its all about him, and you’ll see the Suns continue on the trajectory they’ve been on forever.
The nowhere land where players learn the craft and then move on to footy teams where they are appreciated. They’ll win as ever and probably make finals and that will be Hardwicks big deal.
Its ok and better than Dew but I wouldn’t be shelling out big money for this guy who sees it as his retirement pension. He of course has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
