Rugby Union

We should have done it again in the latest game just for fun.

Think a few Blitzers need to pull their heads in. ABs as irritatingly good as they are have bested us Wallabies for years now. Kiwis are competitive animals and outperform their population numbers compared to ours. And not just in rugby.

They’ve just missed out on a RWC due to indiscipline and a few missed chances. If we’d even got a sniff at a SF I’d have been over the moon.

No-one is criticising the all blacks

Exactly.

They’ve been consistently the best performed team for decades. There’s no questioning that. They’ll beat the Wallabies 19 out of 20 times played… and that one loss is usually a close one.

It’s Australia vs NZ sporting culture based on an event 40 years ago.

Majority of people in this country would rather win a cricket World Cup. Majority there a rugby union World Cup. Most sections here prefer rugby league too where our national team results are on par with the All Blacks.

Yeah… probably…

But for all the hype, prestige and reputation of this team, still ā€˜only’ 3 World Cups out of a possible 10 opportunities.

Pretty underwhelming for a nation that is widely regarded as ā€˜the best’ for so long.

Well done, the Saffers !

How many non Euro ethnics in the Springoks?
Should Mandela be cheering from the grave?
Thinking of NZ friends whose families were bitterly divided over any NZ bans on the All Blacks playing the Springboks in NZ.
When that Sun City song was trending…

Looks like Eddie is gone

Is it real this time though?

I reckon I’ve read the same report from multiple media sources that he’s gone about 5 times since the Wallabies exited the World Cup.

Have his citizenship revoked on the way out, just to make sure that they can’t reappoint him one more time.

What an absolute grub. Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Take the execs that you hired you out as well.

I didn’t think that what I wrote was that bad.

Sayonara Eddie…

He must have got the Japanese job after all.

He’ll be heading off home to his wife’s country again - his mother’s country it is, too.

The slimy piece of ā– ā– ā– ā–  should get his citizenship cancelled.

Full of lies and cover ups. One of the biggest dogs to ever be involved with Australian sport in history.

And I once was a fan.

Good riddance.

I can’t wait to find out exactly what has happened, dating back to his original appointment.

I’m so glad he is gone.

Would have been told by Japanese rugby officials he had the job a month ago.

But to save some face would only be allowed to announce it after the drama of him leaving the Wallabies has died down.

Shouldn’t be allowed to set foot back in the country. The Wallabies situation isn’t just solely his fault but his involvement is undeniable. Snake.
