Pretty well. If NSW leave then QLD gets all the Wallabies revenue, and won’t p!ss it away on the latest Shore boy
'Previous chairman can not be a scapegoat': First salvo fired in bid to spill the Rugby Australia board
Can’t have a back 3 unit when it’s 2 rugby players and Vunivalu.
I’m sure he’s a good guy, but SO bad at rugby.
Vunivalu set to be dropped for Brumbies clash as Reds recall off-contract Wallabies star
Yeah, I said the same. The amount of space he gives outside him, and his poor reads… Toole would have scored 7 or 8…

Coz Coetzee was sacked and Erasmus took over.
A good coach can take a mediocre team up in a short while, and a mediocre coach can also keep a well-coached team at the top long enough to look responsible.
Five things we learned: Schmidt's selection headache, Carter's a No.12 wildcard, and $1m Thor must step up
How come that the same team lost 65% of their matches the next year.?

Also, over his career, Giteau played a lot more 12 than 10.
He was an average 10, and a good 12.

And we were damned lucky to get there and frankly, we got the rub of some very poor decisions.
But yeah, it was all because of Giteau….

This Joey.
The Reds, for all of their obvious frailties on the day, still dominated nearly every key stat except the scoreboard.
Some days, you just don’t execute as well as the other guys in key moments.
Kudos to the Force, but like you, I’m not at panic stations for the Reds.

You ought to say we were vest when we had amateurs at 12…

As it currently stands, We have two sides in the top 3, and four in the top 9.
Should NZ rugby now drop a team so they can compete?
'Statement game': Brumbies smash Moana Pasifika as Lolesio, Wright and Toole light up Canberra
Sorry Biscuit, but you’re a bit soggy and wrong there.
So, Cheika took McKenzie’s team to the world cup final on adrenaline, and blind luck. We should have lost several times, so that one run does NOT make him awesome.
In the post WC of 2016-2019 h record was AWFUL, and he shouldn’t have lasted as long as he did. He had record losses to Scotland, Argentina,
I don’t care if the Wallabies aren’t picking people I like and are winning, but Cheika took us to 7th in the world, lost to Wales for the first time since 2008, and got repeatedly spanked by England.
Using a very old coaching record to say “bring back the Tah saviour” is exactly the same kind of idiocy that brought us Eddie Jones.

If Cheika is the answer, the question is wrong.

What utter nonsense. The only thing Gleeson was better at than Wilson, was meat pies…
And no I don’t mean the point-scoring variety.

So one the one hand, great article, and thanks Harry.
On the other – how come it’s always a new coach will/must go back to the same Waratahs players “because reasons?”
Joe Schmidt's search for a 'cold-hearted bastard' - and the issue he'll lose most sleep over
Sorry kpm mate – but this is the exact reason organisations and teams fail.
If you pick for potential and aptitude, and ignore attitude, you’ve got a bunch of individuals and not a team.
There’s not a performance coach, or half decent leader in the world that would agree with this

Moving from the state that made you for more money, then refusing to play over an allowance says you’re wrong.
Exclusive: Wallaby refused to play for Rebels against Reds over outstanding debt
Where and when you go to work, what you do, and how much you care can be dictated by greed.
Exclusive: Wallaby refused to play for Rebels against Reds over outstanding debt
TwAS, we disagree about many things, but in this you’re 100% right.
The legally can’t pay, RA can’t pay, and anyone who says otherwise, doesn’t understand the law.

Tane was not immense.
He was passable.
If you consider no points from the entire backline passable.
'Philosophical, disappointed but excited': Tahs lose another nail-biter as wasteful Blues hang on to make it 10 straight
RB, Mate, the editorial on this site may as well be a chokatah cheer squad..
Honestly, I cheer for all Aussie teams, but this site makes me want to actively hate the Tahs.
'Everything was approved': Eddie hits back at $2.6m RWC budget blow-out, says Wallabies can build team around young gun
No mate.
Failing to set the team down and say “you have X budget,” is absurd
It’s literally the basics of financial management.
