@majorrage said in Aussie Rugby in general:

No way that Cheika still stand for that is there? Surely he will walk. Surely.

Perhaps that's the ARU's cunning plan.

Is that a joke? I'd be furious that a donkey like Scott Johnson was appointed to oversee me. At least Chieka has won things as a coach.

@taniwharugby the old saying goes something like "trust your fate to 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty".

I don't know how difficult that has become as I've never been called upon. And as a contractor I'd be reticent to do so.

@sparky really? Apologies to TR, but people who can't get out of jury duty...

@antipodean It's not odd that he was nominated, but he wasn't the only one bringing a team back to the top, and winning back-to-back titles in Super Rugby should have topped it IMO.

Going back to back in Super Rugby has been done before. And given the shit state of the competition, I don't consider it that much of an achievement.

Now if Alama can't take credit because other people were involved, why should Razor?

I don't understand this comment. I didn't make, nor imply it.

Robertson changed the team from a team that couldn't win the SR competition for years, into a team that won it back-to-back in his first and second year as an SR coach. I rate Super Rugby higher than Mitre 10 Cup, so that's why I consider that a greater achievement. But having said that, I'm happy for Alama Ieremia, he did an awesome job with Auckland.

That's what I inferred when you said "he wasn't the only one bringing a team back to the top".

Alama took a team that hadn't won a competition for longer. Normally I'd rate Razor's achievement higher, but Super Rugby is shit.

@siam said in Aussie Cricket:

Might be a good toss to lose. Otherwise batting first should be the default. Talk of it being bouncy but no sample size to see how it plays.

This is the reason why I'm not a fan of drop in pitches.

Odd.

No that odd given what his team finally achieved.
