Australia looked ok in patches today. Just pushed the pass too often and not clinical enough. Also monstered up forward. They look hungrier than previously, just lack of talent/ polish.
No issue whatsoever. 2nd best team in the world beat the best team. I love Irish rugby.
Youâre pretty relaxed about it. Thatâs 2x losses in 118 years with both losses coming within a few months of eac other. Another loss will require a parliamentary inquiry.
We need some viable competition to ensure international rugby stays interesting. Clearly isnât going to come from Wallabies. To be honest, I couldnât begrudge Ireland winning the world cup next year.
Hey!! Bite your fking tongue!
We just beat Italy 26 to 7 my friend, ⌠FKN ITALY!!
Yeah. Just wait until we do over WalâŚ
Never mind.
Wallabies lose and Cheika blames the referees again. Long may his mediocrity reign.
cheikas not the problem. Itâs whoeverâs been managing it for the last 20 years and the complete lack of talent, or nourishment of whatâs there.
Then again I couldnât give a stuff about rugby. My opinions not worth a single bum sniff.
Aus will be lucky to get out of the group stage at the 2019 WC at this rate.
On a positive note, the Christian fundamentalistâs try just before half time was a pearler.
Once upon a time the talent pool was that deep you could chuck him for being a homophobe.
Now heâs all theyâve got and he knows he can safely spout off to encourage the next gen to top themselves in shame.
Thatâs a good point.
Plus he has the support of the âif Iâm not offended, itâs not offensiveâ brigade so he can marginalise pretty much whomever he likes under the guise of freedom of speech.
When his current contract expires, those entrusted with furthering Rugbyâs interests will be placed in a tough position. Pay him heaps to remain and be forced to explain why theyâre rewarding a homophobe or donât pay him and potentially lose him overseas or to NRL.
They badly need some talent to come throughâŚ
I donât think the current position is Cheikas fault but he plays an outdated game plan which is predictable. Look what Schmidt has done with Ireland. Australia has more talent than its results reflect.
No itâs not all his fault but he shares some blame.
As you say the game plan is outdated but there are also games where is is not possible to tell what the game plan is as it breaks down completely.
Ugly to watch. Canât help.
That was an epic choke from Foley last night. Crazy miss from a guy with his skills.
I agree with that reference to choking. Equivalent to missing a goal from 30m on a very slight angleâŚwithout having to worry about the ball drop.
Agree but he wasnât alone. It was an epic choke in general from the Waratahs.
Two cracking tries from the brumbies. Jeez, Banks looks like Latham.
