Genia was fucking shit this RWC. Has been ever since he got back from France bar a couple of games where he looked better than shit
Just astonishing that any coach would select a player that so obviously tales time and space away from his team. Especially if you want to start with urgency.
If you think Genia cost Australia this match perhaps you should heed Darryl Kerrigan's advice
He certainly didn't add to their attacking repertoire did he?
Of course.
If your forwards and backline are consistently getting hit behind the gainline because the halfback is delaying passes, you're not on the road to winning. His play actively hampered the Wallabies. The difference was immediately noticeable when White came on.
But that's not why Australia lost.
But feel free to continue this argument of yours that no one else is having.
😂😂😂
Because the White in shining armour made such a difference

Cheika will go, of that there is very little doubt. We are also losing (through retirement) Genia, Pocock, Kepu.
The future is pretty bright. The new coach will inherit a talented squad, depth in the pack, and an ability to put good teams away when they get it right.
A few relatively minor tactical adjustments (eg. not running it off our own fucking line), and I think things will start to turn around.
Still got Hooper signed for four more years tho
But yes, a coach open to change and pragmatism will make a massive difference. Cheika is like pocock, a one trick pony.

I doubt I’m the only one who’s noticed Aussies wanting White yanked whenhe starts a game so Genia can get the backline moving and the same thing in reverse when Genia starts .

The fucking irony. Some criticism of Genia and you're running to his rescue. No one said White had a good game, just that he passes quicker from the ruck than Genia does and if you're looking to play with a high tempo as Australia did, that's what you want.

@NTA said in RWC: England v Australia (QF 1):
I'd like some sign of reform, in terms of aligning national interests from the professional level up.
Our depth is still rubbish.
Losing Kerevi won't help. Two of the three locks from last night as well. There's a paucity of halfbacks too. If Joe Powell is the next best, things aren't so rosy.

Australia lost because in critical situations when players were in space and possession despite Genia's shit service they
Lost the ball in contact
Lost the ball through poor handling
Passed rubbishly to an England player
Kicked rubbishly to an England playerAustralia had more than enough ball and territory to beat England.
They fucked up too many chances.

None of which has any relevance to my point.

I'm starting to think you might not be a Genia fan, Nick
He's always talked about as a great halfback, but he hasn't been that for years. Waste of time bringing him back when other development could have been done

Unfortunately that was the story of the lead-in Tests - the starter looked crap because the finisher was fresh.

Listen, that’s the way we play footy, I’m not going to go to a kick-and-defend game. Call me naive but that’s not what I’m going to do,” Cheika said.
“I’d rather win it our way or no way. That’s the way Aussies want us to play.”
What a moron, Ozzies want you to win you self centred ego maniac fluffybunny!

Money quote
Cheika also said he had "no relationship" with Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle and chairman Cameron Clyne.
