RWC Week 3: Wales v Australia
-
Harrison talking a lot of sense (I feel sick saying that)
Edit: He stated there had not been a proper head coach handover for about 20 years...

Bloody hell.
If NZ cant get SA back Super rugby, we likely need something very drastic very quickly.
No wonder we are falling behind as well.
There is no way SA are coming back to super rugby. Horse has bolted. You can forget it.
Apologies, my sarcasm not reading there.
We truly fucked it up losing SA from Super rugby.
Edit: we should add Fiji and Japan to the RC then devise a new pro comp.
I’m starting to think we may need to allow ABs to play overseas.

Yeah, that made me cringe. Using phrases like that on TV is part of the problem, not the solution.

Add that one to "Springboks pick your best team", "the economy is going to suffer", etc.

I never want the Wallabies to win except if they’re playing England or Ireland. I’m pleased Wales won but am feeling really bad for the Aussie team, their whanau and fans. Keep your heads up! Hopefully this result and the crap that’s contributed to it , will finally lead to the changes from top down that need to happen to improve the journey back from here.

The man comes across as a complete, class-less dickhead. An embarrassment to the game IMHO.

Did that interview sound to anyone else like a man asking to be sacked?

Hooper has impressed me in the post match (the way he has handled himself since been dropped actually).
He's a loyal team man, just unfathomable how he was considered surplus to requirements - sure his form wasn't stellar.. but the man oozes leadership

A stopped clock is right twice a day. Campese is exactly the kind of person who shouldn’t be anywhere near ARU management.

Yeah a RWC is a squad effort, you want guys like Hooper and Cooper (who finally has his head on right) in the squad, mentoring and they would be more than fine versus the minnows. But Eddie thinks they have a defeatist attitude when really they are leaders. As soon as he picked this squad, he shat all over Oz chances to go anywhere in the Cup. But his 'building for the future' BS is also in trouble as it is hard to mentally come back from a 12.5% win ratio and even worse than Foster firsts.

Awful by the Wallabies. Feel sorry for them. The rushed Eddie Jones appointment was always going to be a disaster. The man is a chancer, an opportunist and a troll. He’s only ever in it for himself. And by deliberately leaving his leaders and more experienced players like Hooper and Cooper at home, he has destroyed the confidence of another generation of players and kicked the corpse of Australian rugby while pocketing the cash. A disgraceful individual.
For the All Blacks, the truth is that New Zealand’s deterioration is directly related to the demise of the game in Australia. Losing South Africa in Super Rugby and leaving our teams to play lopsided flat-track bully games against weak Australian sides has de-powered them. Both NZ and Australia suffer from huge discipline issues and that’s clearly related.
With all the money and talent and broadcast dollars drifting to the northern hemisphere, it’s hard not to think that under Robertson’s regime the NZR will drop the overseas players ban completely.
