He was more than good enough to start NPC matches and be a squad member in a NZ SR side. Bone headed selections at NPC level are having a flow on effect
Yep.
Cheers Alama.

@Stargazer Love the dig at Alan Jones and Clive Woodward.

Is Australian rugby really as backward looking and thinking as it is coming across as at the moment?
Every fucking thing i read at the moment is about "returning to the glory years" and harking back to the 90s, or christ now it's "the pride the Ella's had".
News flash dickheads. Success in modern elite rugby isn't about fucking mindset, or passion, or calling on the spirit of the periods when the Wallabies were good.
It's about pathways and development and preparation and plans to maximise talent.
If this isn't just window dressing for the public, and RA really do think the job is done, then this is going to crash and burn just so hard.

@Stargazer cue the cries from south of the Tweed about young players missing out at the Reds.

I'm more worried that the Australian Fijian wing pool has dried up so much you have to import ineligible Fijians now.

@Stargazer so it's RWC or bust. That seems a strange plan, but I'm not a coaching genius or clever advertising exec.

He's a front rower.
But yeah, Nadolo's return to the Tahs is plain weird.

Haha, I saw Fijian and just assumed winger ...
If Nadolo can replicate the form from when he was a Crusader then he'd be a good buy.

@Stargazer these retirement announcements for dudes i thought already retired just keep coming.
Not a bad little player, and had a cool career
got a "rule" named after him in Aus.
job done

@Stargazer said in Aussie Rugby:
For a kid that was a second string halfback (behind Matt Henjak) as a junior player, to then redefine his career as a 2nd 5 and also a 1st 5, I take my hat off to him. He did have a few injuries over the years, but overall his longevity has been pretty remarkable.

Eddie Jones has a weekly podcast.
This whole thing is a McLennan wet dream.

@KiwiMurph what's a"boom youngster"?

It's a racing industry phrase.
Maybe "the horse guy" has infiltrated ARU after all...

It's been used in the NRL for years (even before the actual horse racing guy became boss of the comp).
I just thought it was an Aussie way to hype a youngster up.

Doesn't matter though. Eddie is the head coach and he changes assistants as often as undies. Pretty sure he was like that when he was Brumbies coach too so the fans shouldn't be bewildered at all

You don't understand the size of the chip they carry. Reminiscent of Atlas' punishment.

Oh, I do! Believe me I do!
4 years residence in Canberra dealing with people whose rugby cred was seemingly self-judged by the number of Brumbies caps in the back window of the car.....
Do they still froth at the mouth when Andre Watson is mentioned?
BTW I don't include (most) Vets players in this bracket. -
Tongan Thor supposedly off to the Rebels.

@KiwiMurph Not sure how you give a 20stone prop with a long injury history, and currently out with an Achilles, a multi-year contract extension but hey ho.
