    I genuinely think I'd wet myself from laughter if the ARU got a league coach with no experience in rugby.

    i would pay enormous amounts of money to watch a Ricky Stuart press conference after a losing Wallaby test with even one contentious refereeing decision in it

    He's a former Wallaby so does not meet @antipodean's criteria. 😉

    But agree wholeheartedly. Chieka and Rennie are amateurs in comparison.

    The fact the Dave Rennie is not under pressure does my head in

    They were flogged tonight. As they have been a lot.

    Yes he's developing youth. And last week was actually really good.

    But no wallaby coach in my life time, especially a kiwi, has been able to get away with a half decent performance every couple of games
    All whole plunging down the rankings

    Are you David Campese?

    Argentina should not have been in a position where they could beat our national team by 30 points. We have slipped to seventh in the world rankings and surely Rennie should be coming under some pressure.

    As just one example I've never seen NSW rugby in the doldrums like it was a couple of years ago. Just awful.

    Whether it's player development, problem with the comps below Super level, the player and coaching exodus or what — something's not right with Australian rugby at it's core. Rennie can't be blamed for that.

    Matt Philip has apparently done his ACL at training and won't make the Euro tour.

    Comments below this thread go on to question how this keeps happening e.g. training load, S&C, etc.

    Rory Arnold would be a good replacement if allowed.

    Think they already lined up Skelton but he's not available for Scotland as it's outside the window?

    @Daffy-Jaffy wonder why no 2022 figures, wonder if they kept that small upward trajectory

    NZ average attendances wouldn't be 25k would they, so around 2006 things were looking really good

    Tahs had average crowds of 5k in 2021 and averaged 12k for their last three matches in 2022. Interestingly, considering how the ARU seemingly do a go it alone press piece every month, the Tahs biggest crowds were against NZ teams.

    Also, it's rather difficult trying to find a comprehensive list of crowd numbers.
