Farrells legs are pushing his upper body…..up.

'Disgusting circus': Andy Farrell slams treatment of Owen as World Rugby appeals against England star's reprieve

This has made a complete and utter mockery of the rules put out in place to protect players welfare. It has not given clarity but confusion. All the guys over the last 5 odd years who have spent time in the stands for their sins have done so in vein.

This has the hallmarks of a narcissist.

'Give yourself upper cuts': Eddie furious at journos after 'worst press conference I've ever had'

I don’t think you’ve been observing objectively enough. Look at what he had to work with in super R. He was in the hunt and fell short by 3 or less on several occasions

Wallabies winners and losers: Eddie's ruthless RWC squad is full of double standards - but we had been warned

Cooper wears his heart on his sleeve. He needs the right coach to fire. We won 6 times last year with Quade. 6 TIMES. If we were focused on winning this RWC he would be first choice 10.

Tad under 6 foot and 88kgs is not too bad but yes he needs another year. 94 kgs is probably where he needs to be. I do share your concern

Exactly my thoughts read below.

Jorgensen is a special talent. Rare mix of decision making, ability and unshakable self belief.

These guys only play for a short time and smash their bodies in the process. I wouldn’t begrudge.

Talk about winners and loses. The Australian public may well be the biggest losers.
DR spends the best part of three years tweaking from a pool of underperforming SR teams. Pushes too hard searching for the fitness ceiling. Injuries. Still remains competitive against quality opposition.
EJ gets sacked.
RU pick up the phone and say “you want a job after the RWC?” EJ says no I want it now. RA blinks first under the premise that EJ promises he’ll have a better chance than DR.
Realises after 4 matches or before he has no chance. That he must have known making a coaching change and short turnaround given his experience
Wants HIS RWC. Starts planing for 2027. Throwing 2023 under the bus.
We’ve waited patiently for 4 years now Eddie is looking after Eddie.
The biggest loosers are the Australian public and those who deserve better.
Hope I’m wrong.

DR regeted Vunivalu. Maybe Eddie’s trying to make a point that he knows better than DR?

We should have stuck with Dave Rennie. Eddie is a bit let’s make it about me. Hope I’m wrong and there are tactical reasons for his left field selections. He seems to be a man of favourites ( and not) too and where Quade was in the form of his life under DR he’s been left right out.

Yep depends on the mix. I like Hanigans line out work especially if skeleton starts.

Vision as important as selection after physical and mental battering - and it could mean following France's '19 RWC path

I’d be picking kellaway at 15 and marky 14. ( we missed someone in the air)
Six? 1st choice salakaia-loto 2nd Holloway 3rd Hanigan. All with international experience.

Yep jcmasher I think EJ wants to make it all about EJ. “ look at me, I can see things DR couldn’t”

For all his strength(s) Valentini is a one trick pony. He wouldn’t get a start for NZ.

Eddy did have an excellent stretch with England but he had a rugby equivalent of NASA at his disposal. Vastly different in Australia.

Marky M can catch in the air and Kellaway can read play.

If you’re a gambling man and O’keeffe is reffing a match with Australia you’d put your bet on the other team. Even if it was Morocco.

This test could have been played in the Sahara or the South Pole Christy. It wouldn’t have made a difference. Six is a position we have many options. Why would you pick a guy with one year of SR? And you talk of a kicking game yet you put not one, not two but 3 leaguies for your back 3 with little or zero understanding of the kicking game. The situation is hopeless.

No Cheika is a very good coach, make no mistake. The Waratahs won thé SR in ‘14 under him. He went on to coach wallabies to the final of the the 2015 WC.
He may have stayed too long. Maybe he was coaching a style that pleased the marketing dep with ball in hand? We became to predictable towards the end.
Next week we play him and will probably lose.
We love to play the blame game but not all our failures in recent years be attributed to the coach.

Revealed: Another former State of Origin star to replace Thorn as Queensland Reds get their man

We have a very very good centre combo with Kerevi and Ikitau. We have wingers left right and middle but no so in the centre’s. First choice 12 replacement is Foketi. First choice 13 replacement is Foketi.

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Why Jones opted for Hodge at 12 as Suli starts and four debutants named for Boks clash

Napoleon didn’t arrive on the battlefield with all of his troops ready at the start. I suspect EJ is doing the same thing. His short game is Go (the Chinese board game) his long game is chess.

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Why Jones opted for Hodge at 12 as Suli starts and four debutants named for Boks clash

Foketi would have been my choice but If this is the start of a marathon Im guessing EJ wants him at the finishing line. Can’t guess why else.
