Is this Eddie's last dance? - Andy Goode
Eddie Jones has won just two of his last 11 Tests as an international head coach and another defeat to Wales this weekend could, or at least should, spell the end of his coaching career.

SBW is biased-Quade is his bro.
But this doesn't pass the smell test from Eddie:"And I’ve been able to turn it around as coach, (but) I haven’t coached well enough, I haven’t been able to turn it around quick enough.”
Gotta say, either Eddie is right and Rennie destroyed the Wallabies, or Eddie is wrong and slightly megalomaniac. Results seem to indicate the latter.

And how the hell aren't the press pulling his bullshit up to his face is disgusting. They are as bad as the cheerleaders over here never mentioning to Fosters useless face about how the learnings are never learnt
Rugby media in Australia has declined along with the game. Now they're looking at existential crisis.
I'd also suggest they're numb to it, a bit like political journos and Trump. Not sure what to do...

Honestly if this is true, be geez it would cause some problems for everyone , Eddie for being a liar, Hamish and RA for their whole handling of the thing.
Well at least it would save RA money in firing him!

Where does Australia go from here,This is going to hurt the game massively in Australia.
We need them to be better, really we are playing a tier 2 nation with a top team ranked 10th now as our main playing partner,With weak SR teams and a eroding player base.This could bring us down even more.
We need to get the Argies back in and grow the Japanese relationship quick smart.
Is Fiji our main rival in the pacific out side of SA . -
Sadly I think it’s now Aussie “rugby”
-
@Chris maybe we really need to look internally at improving our competitions, and given there was talk of tours to SA as well, that could be to spark needed.

Yeah those SA tours will be brilliant,I think you are right about internally growing add another SR team from NZ,As it seems NPC is not the answer according to the NZR.
Add a Japanese and Argie team,Drua are going well,Look to grow into the USA.
force Australia to drop at least one team. -
@sparky said in Aussie Rugby:
@Chris Let more NZ players play in European club Rugby and in Japan. It’s worked for South Africa.
I understand what you are saying,But I think it will stuff our competitions.
It would be shit having our best 30 players only playing at home 3 or 4 times a year in test matches.
It would I think hurt our development underneath the ABs doing that. -

It would I think hurt our development underneath the ABs doing that.My feeling is that we could do it if if were in sanctioned competitions such as a pro comp with Japanese teams.
All Blacks (perhaps after a certain number of caps) could play in that comp and still be available.

@gt12 not sure how ABs playing in a Japanese comp is going to help prepare for test rugby vs Europe and the Saffas.....
Me neither to be honest, but it doesn't seem to be hurting the SA players who are playing there.
