What Kiwi coach in their right mind would want to coach Wallabies, after the way Kiwi coaches have been treated by RA? Also, Dave Rennie a far better coach than Foster. Even Foster better than Eddie, but Foster coaching Wallabies just seems like a negative for all concerned.

Hanson started out okay, but his ego got too bloated

You are 100% spot on with that comment BBR

How can BT not be an Aussie, when he played for Kangaroos?

The next Wallabies coach must be an Aussie

Compared to bound players hindmost foot? No, I don’t think that was the difference. Regardless, I don’t think Barnes should have been coaching the ABs loosies on when to charge through. It’s up to them to work that out.
I think Barnes was inconsistent.

'Is there any accountability?': Everything Rennie said as he savaged refs group over 'massive decisions'

Yells “Ball is out” when Fr 9 puts hands on it at back of ruck, coaching ABs forwards to monster him leading to ABs try. Penalisies Fr twice for doing same to ABs 9.

No, Barnes was terrible. His inconsistent decisions just didn’t impact on the result (the bigs ones favoring the ABs).

Terrible reffing in AB v France game, from Barnes so maybe to be expected, but it hurt the French probably more than the ABs. Hasn’t cost the ABs games this tour, but it has to Wallabies.

Blackadder, Savea and Jacobson as 6, 7 and 8 for mine. Ardie is the best loosie in NZ and 7 is his best spot, except a bit rusty as keeps getting played at 8 to accommodate less capable players (in ABs and Canes). Papalili impresses me and he will keep improving, but he would be the bench loose forward utility for now for me. No room for purple undies man.

What does your team need in the final round of the Rugby Championship?

I enjoyed the way Cooper played. He had a very good game. But he can be a rocks and diamonds player, so fan need to accept the bad with the good if he has an off game next time.

Is Rippon eligible yet? I thought Munroe might have got a recall for this tour, especially when Finn Allen needed replacing.

MATCH REPORT: Rennie's Wallabies sent out to go big or die trying - it was the latter

This is a article and discussion about a sporting clash today between Aust and NZ. If you don’t give a hoot about NZ, who cares, but why bother logging on and joking the conversation? Pathetic.

Interesting. Can you elaborate please?

NZR run by dunderheads. Doing whatever they can to try and keep game popular in Auckland, at the expense of rest of NZ

NZR can't give tickets away as New Zealanders turn nose up at Bledisloe II

If they win the collisions more often than not, win their own lineout ball and get an edge at scrums, that should do it.
Mmm, better kick most of their goals too.

Regardless of what form of the game, and regardless of whether we think the best players were selected, it was the Australian cricket team that took the field. These games count.

'To say I'm unsurprised is true': Entitlement is still a problem for Aussie cricket

I think Banks has played well. People should stop expecting him to be Campo. Wanting to replace with Mogg might just be “grass always greener…” stuff (at there’s a lot of that in the Roar).

Bledisloe dawn: The questions for the Wallabies ahead of Game 1

Having the players named in the overseas 15 back would boost Aussie super teams. But would I pick any of them ahead of the last Wallabies starting 15? After watching the Wallabies beat France on Saturday, no I wouldn’t.

Operation McMahon: How Aussie rugby can keep its cattle

Dave wasn’t criticising the ref. He was criticising unsportsmanly behavior by some of the French players. And he had a fair point IMO.

Is it the Oscars or a Test match?

The conditions won’t trouble them mate. The Aussie bowlers might thought.
BTW, I didn’t say the English batters were better than the Aussies, because they ain’t. I just don’t think the averages tell the full story.

Nothing will save England from losing the Ashes

Australia would have to be favourites, in Australian conditions.
Comparing test batting averages a little misleading, as Aussie batsmen get to play half their tests in batting friendly conditions. English batters at home often playing rain shorten games on green-tops, ball swinging, and with more bowler friendly Dukes.

Do they play rugby there?
