Howard Atkinson Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 There's no doubt about it, that Eddie Jones of the Wallabies talks a ton of shite ! ☺️ Very entertaining and, unlike his sound-a-like Donald Trump, Eddie is at least not dangerous, so I'll give him that. Not much help to the Wallabies, though. If they can keep within 25 points of the ABs then it'll have been a good day at the office for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 With 5 min to go till half time they were behind. Not a show of winning the WC Interestingly I watched the game with my son and 3 of his mates, all in their mid 20's What a laugh, listening to them talk about girls and sex. They even had the nerve to ask me if I had been to a brothel One normally wears a mullet, but now has quite a stylish James Dean style cut. Apparently got it free in Sydney, I asked him if it was because the barber felt sorry for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I am surprised you were able to father a child. Did you own up about the brothel thing?, told them you were active on Grinder I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ABs are an iconic thing and it’s about the players and not a show pony coach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 To the 2 incorrigible reprobates lol Give me a show pony with an impeccable record any day over a womble with one of the worst records in recent history and only now making progress because of support coaching staff. It's always about the coach, Wayne Smith(Black ferns), Brendon McCullum(England test cricket), Andrew Webster(Warriors) and Noeline Tarua(Sliver ferns), have in recent times, all taken their teams from hapless performers to world beaters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Wallabies showed enough in this game to demonstrate they can be a spoiler for a few teams at RWC - as long as they can keep 15 players on the field for longer. ABs were not looking comfortable for long periods but the 'blowout' scoreline was a tad flattering to them accordingly. Jones has to 'blood' some new players/combos in this series ahead of the one that really matters. The ABs will find it harder to defeat the forward power and mobility of France than any Southern Hemisphere opponent. I bet Fozzie thanks God for Jason Ryan every night at prayer time.

No they weren't comfortable at times, but all they had to do was put up a massive D effort which they did, and then score when it mattered, which they did with ease. And let's not forget they went over for two disallowed tries as well. Australian rugby apart from the heart we were shown on Sat, doesn't have any answers and it starts at their grass roots level. 39 days to us meeting France , so Max pencil it in.

I guess the key point I want to make is that the match is not a fair indication of Ozzie's prospects at RWC. Cant wait for the tournament to begin, esp Match 1 !

Personally i think Fozzy has been treated poorly all round.A couple of "tin pot cups" this season with a runners chance of the golden ticket in Le Bleu, is not a bad season. I personally think it's a coach rotation to early for Scott R , I would have preferred if he had spread his wings for more international experience before taking over the baton. My glass is half full🍷, so will be supporting him 100% when he takes over.Four years is a long time in rugby.He should be judge only on what he achieves in four years time imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Andrew Webster came to the Warriors with no NRL head coach experience, and has done well, so the logic you are applying to Razor does not necessarily apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Glass half empty methinks Also put aside the very much subjective assessment of how much advantage is enough, and it is potentially a draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Yes Hesi,big oops. Definitely far too many discipline issues. People saying it's only a warm up,but you think you'd want to play those games well-unlike what we saw earlier,considering the WC is 2 weeks away.

Hesi Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Not only the biggest ever defeat for the AB's, but their short comings have been exposed for all to see, and they have shown all they have, nothing left. Even Aus exposed them for a good portion of the game Another poor tactical selection plan by Foster to have to end up playing the top team or they would have had to go into the game against France with the top players not having played for 5 weeks. He now has a 69% win/loss, the lowest of, any coach that has been in charge for a reasonable period of time, with 3 of those losses against Ireland and 2 against Argentina. This all tells a story, that is playing out now and there is not a lot that can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor have any of the other coaches of potential RWC-winning sides. It's all smokes and mirrors at this stage. Should be a fascinating tournament; the best thing about the loss to the Boks is that it has totally deflated public balloon of expectation that had been growing through the Rugby Championship matches; now we have to adapt to the Northern Hemisphere style of play and style of refereeing.
