Failed high-performance and mixed messages: Wallabies' playmaker crisis laid bare
Quade Cooper's Achilles injury appears to be the one problem the Wallabies have no answer for as the Rugby World Cup creeps ever closer and coach Dave Rennie again looks to the past for a solution at No. 10.

@KiwiMurph I'm not sure how "Lolesio's development has been further clouded by the recall of Foley" - he's second year pro in all reality, and development doesn't happen at Test level against the World Champions.
Do I agree with Foley coming back in? No - it's fucking weird, TBH.
Instead [Lolesio] finds himself unsure whether he has the genuine backing of a Wallabies coaching staff
I'm fairly sure they've given every player a list of work-ons. Lolesio gets another season of pro rugby and he improves. Hardly like he's been chucked to the sharks and left to sink or swim.
too a high performance unit that didn't do its job between the last two World Cups.
Yes there's that but this was always going to happen when the underlying systems are so narrow and blinkered. "High Performance Rugby Unit" here is a way of saying "wait for the next combination of superstars to align".

Aussie Rugby update:
Friday - wife leaves for girl's weekend.
Saturday - drop my daughter at her dance lesson and head over to Boronia Park to watch some first division Subbies. A guy on the Subbies Board and I get along like a house on fire and his third grade get up against a fancied Woollahra Colleagues side.
From there I get over to Holroyd Park to watch the Fourth Division finals (I'm the Board rep for that division). Can only stay 20 minutes as dance lessons finish shortly thereafter. Drop some of my club's old jerseys for one of the Merrylands boys to send back to Samoa.
Race back to do dance pickup, watch more games on the streaming service we have for Subbies.
BTW If anyone wants a free code to see some park footy let me know. Have a few spare and they'd love the viewership numbers 😉
Sunday: get up early, throw my refs gear in the car and head over to Concord to do my bit at the Sydney women's 7s (also on NSW rugby.tv). Scheduled for 4 games. Two refs didn't show up at 1pm so reffed a couple more. Glorious day in the sun chasing women half my age and younger 😉

WE'RE IN THE BIG SHOW BABY!!!
Club won their semi final, have gone from losing 5 of the first 7 games to making the grand final

@Daffy-Jaffy Dead to me.
Typical B/S Planet Rugby article though, both his parents are Kiwis.
