Not forgotten by me! Can’t wait to have him back-exciting to watch.

The forgotten young gun who wants to change the Western Force forever - and can

If you’re not good enough or don’t fit in to the coaches plans, then what do you do? Whinge, or try, try again.

'Pissed off': Why Eddie snubbed Noah and the five-month stint in France that's changed his outlook

At last!

'No longer have any trust or faith': Rugby Australia chairman told to resign by SIX states, EGM looms with 'gloves off'

Good on him!

Hoops commits to Olympic dream after Eddie snub - and he could face another massive star of the XVs game in Paris

It can’t be any AFL/cricket ground, please!
The action is too far away. It’s not a cauldron for rugby fans. I think it would be an embarrassment to showcase a rugby game at a non rugby ground.

The battle of the rugby World Cup 2027 Final: Sydney or Melbourne?

Let’s stick to the rugby

Crescendo of boos and another loss for Eddie as Barbarians cop a Welsh walloping - with a Wallaby twist

With the existing framework in Australia, that has made it impossible in the past for very good coaches to succeed, I can’t see how even Andy F (crowned the best) would’ve successful.

'That's one of the options': Foster admits Test coaching return possible as he reacts to Wallabies link

Too many living in the past. Be careful what you wish for. Many complain that there is too much change. Then there is not enough change. One day it’s don’t change, then next minute it’s do change. The dialogue over the years makes me dizzy.
It’s obvious nothing is going to improve in the short term, so when do we dig in and wait for the seeds to grow into a blooming harvest?

Wallabies are where the All Blacks were in 2007 - it's time to look in the mirror or risk more embarrassment

Congratulations Nic Berry.

RWC News: Bongi set to play final despite WR investigation, Boks and All Blacks react to racist slur allegations

Thank you!

Rugby’s descent into cynical play: Why neutral fans should back the All Blacks for the good of the game

Maybe Eddie has been speaking to them about the contenders and giving advice on who they should pick, since he has a close relationship with them. Hasn’t he been an outside advisor for some time?

Wallabies coach Jones disloyal if Japan talks real, says Rugby Australia boss

Yes, I’m entitled to say I enjoyed it more. Don’t make assumptions as to why, or who I support. No arrogance at all!!

37 phases and OUT! Whitelock the hero as All Blacks win epic RWC QF to break Ireland's hearts again

Amazing game!
So much more entertaining than the SA v Ireland game.
Very free flowing.
2 great games last night!
And southern hemisphere rules! What will happen tonight?

Great read Oz. Thanks for the commentary!

Notes from the road to Avignon, as the Wallabies reach the end of their World Cup journey

Maybe Eddie has told Japan to keep the coaching seat warm for him in case Australia dump him.

Jones to return to Australia as Japanese reports link Wallabies coach as favourite to take over Brave Blossoms

I’m waiting, and waiting, in hope of good things to come. I’m still waiting.
I must say I miss the days when you could watch the Shute Shield every Saturday afternoon on the ABC. I looked forward to that. When that changed, it felt like things were lost.

This is the brutal reality: There are Aussies desperate to see Wallabies fail, and many want to see the sport's complete demise

I like the idea of Eddie and the young team fighting their way back from the bottom of the world (ratings). That would certainly make the players feel that this RWC was the disaster we had to have!

Eddie Jones should be celebrated not booed: Why the worst thing RA could do is sack the Wallabies coach

I think it was all over when TT and Skelton were ruled out. Eddie’s ‘Brave New World’ then destructed.

'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival

Eddie came back to Australia and worked really hard to ignite the passion for Australian rugby. That, he did very well. Unfortunately, he just went too far in trying to inject new life into a simmering squad of Wallabies that has left them extinguished.

'Bloody disappointed: Wallabies OUT of World Cup as nation to miss finals for first time, Eddie fights for survival

Ireland so impressive as a team, playing together, knowing each other’s game. They seemed to be in each other’s head.
You could see the constant communication between players, just checking in.
SA were awesome too, but it just looked like they were trying some new things at times that weren’t as exceptionally executed. It was a real battle.

REACTION: 'In your head!' - Irish fans celebrate epic win with rousing rendition of 'Zombie' after Boks botch job

What I’m questioning is the focus on physicality. So much is said about it with regards to SA. There’s more to the game…

COMPLETE RWC teams week 3: Eddie makes three changes, Wales skipper misses out, Farrell back for England

I was actually referring to the point of view that is everywhere in the press and social media. SA have been given a reputation. I don’t hear anyone calling the Aussie pack ‘the bomb squad’.
Why do they have that reputation? Well, I think it is because they are dominating.

My thoughts exactly-last time it looked ugly until McReight came in off the bench and Hooper moved over

Wallabies CONFIRMED: Gordon benched as Eddie banks on Ben Donaldson, star returns for do-or-die RWC clash

And yet Valentini was penalised. I don’t think we can tackle and pilfer some structure though.

ANALYSIS: Why the Wallabies' breakdown woes could be helped from outside their own camp

My opinion was not targeting the bench actually, it was in response to the overwhelming commentary about the size of their pack as and its success.
