Springboks v Wallabies
-
Slammed
Welcome back Eddie
-
How has Quade only got 76 caps? Seems to have been around forever.
Boks mightily impressive at times today.
Aus will still smash Wales come RWC unfortunately. 🙄 -
0430 hours here.
Had to get up for a piss and saw the result. Not surprised.
Eddie isn't the saviour. His fascination with loig backs at the expense of actually developing rugby forward play is well noted from his last time at the helm.
Our systems haven't magically been rebuilt overnight to retrospectively make player development better, or even adequate.
We don't have the cattle because the game here is dying, there are too many cooks in the kitchen, and none of them can see how disastrously their selfish conduct hurts the rest of us at all levels of the game.
Back to bed then.
So glad we booted Rennie...

Haven't watched it yet, but I really thought the Aussies would have put up more fight than that....

@game_film You sure about that? They did lose 48-17 to Argentina last year.
-
@African-Monkey Maybe, maybe not! Think that team was a bit more under strength. Hope Harry Wilson’s got his phone charged though.

I can't understand why they play Valetini at 8. He's a 6.
Probably the form 6 of SR (if you count SB as a lock
) -
Just watched the highlights.
Is hooper the best 7 in Aussie still?
Quade Cooper lol - but the fact that he got a run probably speaks to the quality of Aussie 10s currently. -

No. McReight is better.
Hooper's game has fallen off of a cliff.

Difficult to see what aspect Eddie has improved based on that abject performance.

Tell you who they could have used out there today: Harry Wilson
Hard to justify picking him on super form

Sean Maloney sounds broken
We got the Saffa commentary here where the grass grows green mate, and actually enjoyed them, didn't miss Maloney at all!!

@Tim said in Springboks v Wallabies:
50 is on now.
You want Eddie Jones as an analyst, not a head coach.
It really sucks that NZ is geographically relegated to depending on Australian Rugby.
Amen Tim, if ever we wanted reminding of that was watching this toady!
