If you want the real moral victory surely you need to take the record in both countries.. on that basis it’s 6 – 2 to Australia. They seem to forget how quickly they wilt when they travel the other way.

Please make league players available for the wallabies.. call them the ARUNRL Wallabies.. play less tests each year.. league gets the financial spoils of international money ie world cup, and global recognition… both players and code. The Wallabies get the benefit of talent to make us relevant in the world game again…
Can the All Blacks play rugby league?
I still love the idea of pooling NRL and Union resources. Don’t merge the games, but make the league players available for Wallabies selection for a price, and union players available for league clubs. Do a Brad Thorn, Mat Rogers, Wendell Sailor, Sonny Bill, Michael Cheika etc etc and cross back and forth! NRL benefits from the spoils of international money particularly the RWC. Rugby gets the NRL talent. Merge streaming/broadcasting under one offer – have a national union comp going at the same time instead of super rugby (or even just a trans tasman comp). Lower the number of wallabies tests each year so they are coveted, like they used to be – one game against the AB’s, Springboks, touring northern hemisphere side, plus a northern hemisphere tour (NRL players have finished their comp by then in November). The Wallabies become internationally relevant again, thus getting more interest in union in Aus. League fans get to join in the international buzz of games that are close. Top league players get to play in a world cup. Union players ride alongside. I like many enjoy both league and union. We gotta do something – the Wallabies are at rock bottom… both codes are struggling financially – the status quo couldn’t get any worse…
Australian Super Rugby broadcast deal signed just in time for New Zealand comp
I’m not writing them off yet, particularly for Argentina. I reckon they’ll get up. Either way that will be the yardstick. Yep there was a lot of dumb stuff on display by the boys. A lot. But there was some good stuff too. We’ve been known to lose to Samoa and Scotland at home on our first games back let alone the Springboks at Ellis Park. And if our world cup winning teams of old can’t win there then I’m not surprised this lot didn’t. There’s still time, keep the faith. (Though admittedly not much time!)
The Wrap: Are the Wallabies cursed? Too right they are
Dear Wallabies,
STOP GIVING AWAY PENALTIES AND CARDS! JUST STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! DONT DO IT! JUST DON’T DO IT!
Surely that’s the low hanging fruit to start? What is needed for that to get through to them?
Wallabies' RWC hopes still alive after wild win over Portugal - but it will take a miracle to avoid historic first flop
