@Tim said in Aussie Rugby:
Lolesio set to walk out on Australian rugby - reports
Rookie Wallabies flyhalf Noah Lolesio is poised to walk out on Australian Rugby after being overlooked by new head coach Eddie Jones.
That's hugely misleading.
He's signing as a short term medical joker during RWC and has already re-signed with Brumbies/Aus rugby for future seasons.

That really is a shit headline then.It's RugbyPass.
Which hints what everyone should do with it: pass.

@NTA i got annoyed with them last week when they had a big headline about freddie burns being "released" from the Highlanders as part of their big cull....no, he signed for one season and was probably already out of the country when he was included in the list of everyone not returning next year

@Kiwiwomble they define clickbait. Everything I've ever seen of theirs is shit, but the algorithm doesn't care.

@Tim Aus Rugby Twitter seems to have moved to the Acceptance stage in the stages of grief
I was there before it was cool.

I love Eddie’s optimism and while we might laugh he’s right IMO. Wallabies compete well against us, we play a similar game. I still expect us to win but I’m certain the AB’s aren’t going to be complacent.
‘I’d look out’: Eddie Jones’ warning for All Blacks ahead of Bledisloe I
The Wallabies may have fallen to their second consecutive loss in as many starts on Saturday night, but it didn’t stop coach Eddie Jones from firing a shot at the All Blacks.

Waratahs will welcome several players to the franchise with halfback Jack Grant set to return from overseas to replace the Brumbies-bound Harrison Goddard. Former England under-20s prop Hayden Thomson-Stringer, who played alongside Maro Itoje at the junior ranks, has also signed with the Waratahs. The 28-year-old, who spent years at Saracens and Brive while also being loaned to a number of clubs, including La Rochelle, returns to Sydney having enjoyed a short stint at Manly Marlins in the Shute Shield. Former Sydney Roosters contracted winger Vuate Karawalevu, who arrived at Easts from Suva last year and spent time playing for their feeder club North Sydney, has also joined. The 22-year-old recently joined West Harbour after news filtered out that he had joined the Waratahs. The 193cm, 99kg is a specimen that will excite Coleman. Junior Wallabies back-rower Ned Slack-Smith has also joined the Waratahs from the Western Force. A Barker product, the Slack-Smith started in the Junior Wallabies’ 57-33 win over Wales to finish fifth at the under-20s world championship. The flanker scored in the 76th minute -
Interesting Anzac XV concept, involving exodus ABs. Makes sense as ABs will be playing France at the time

@Tim There's a fascination with league defensive coaches. But what I'm most confused by is Eddie's assertion he's changed the team:
On Saturday night Jones acknowledged the magnitude of the task facing him.
“It was always going to be difficult, mate. We’re trying to change the team, and we’re also trying to change the way we play. So, we’ve sort of double-whammyed this, and I’m quite happy to accept that we’re not where we should be. But, I’m also quite happy to tell you that I think we’re on the right track and we’ll get there.
Looks to me like the team is largely the same players as last year.
