By The Roar / Editor

Former Wallaby Jeremy Paul says the likely loss of Israel Folau leaves the World Cup hopes for Michael Cheika’s men in tatters.

And 6ft down already... in fact I was at the grave last year And the year before paying my respects. Cheika killed them long before Izzy went all in on the sky wizard.

Lol at the suggestion that the coffin wasn’t already nailed.

Folau gone is not the end of the world. The Wallabies lack the kicking skills to fully exploit his aerial abililities and he's a defensive liability. He so rarely puts his body on the line to save a try. He cannot be said to be a match winner given the Wallabies hardly ever win. Pick someone with speed and a bit on mongrel. Interesting that at he was sacked for sledging gay people. He also had a shot at Atheists and fornicators. Some of my best friends are both.

This guys is completely delusional. Folau is no longer that good a runner, he has always been a defensive liability, and now is really tackle shy like he is trying to avoid injury so that he can get a big contract overseas. When they signed the contract Australia's chances nosedived. Getting rid of him now is not as good as gettring rid of him before and using the money on others but its better than nothing.

I think it just means we will ALSO get kicked into submission. We were in tatters before this happened. Perhaps a good outcome for DHP and possibly AAC as two players who are less rubbish at taking the high ball. How do Banks and Maddocks go under the bomb?
