@NTA 1999 was quite some time ago wasn't it? I hadn't thought about it being the last millennium since Aus won a RWC. Reminders are good, thanks Nick.
but, importantly, they haven't choked.
You have to be favoured to win for it to be even considered a choke. Like they were in 87. And 95 too i guess.
Short memories i guess...

Winning 25% of World Cups entered when its a third-tier sport is punching well above our weight, I'll have you know. Soon to drop to 22% after we get bundled.
The speed with which "BUGGEST WUNNUNG PERCINTUGE" turns to "But we weren't favourites in those RWC bro eh?" is awesome to behold, for a country obsessed with the sport.
Just like the "Always made the semifinals unlike everyone else" evaporated after 2007

@NTA I was going to ask why you are so snarky but I'd be pretty crabby too if my team hadn't won a RWC this millennium.
Sorry, Wayne and I can't hear you over the sound of Richie crying.

Fix your post. Don't think you should use the Google link.
Do I need to explain everything? 😉

well that, and being dragged to Billy Elliot last night.
I love how it's a 3rd tier sport. Except all long the East Coast of Australia. And probably the West Coast.
It's just a little sad that a prosperous nation of 25 million sports lovers can't find 30 decent rugby players.

Furthermore, i find it pretty ungrateful for an Australian to be heckling us about our rugby record. We are doing everything we can to bring you back up to Tier 1 level where you think you belong.
We've given you coaches. We've given you administrators. Fuck, we've given you half of your players. Short of actually handing you the trophies, we've done everything we possibly can to make you successful again. But you keep returning to your historical mean.
Some people just can't be helped.

Apparently Ireland and Samoa are doing something.
Don't worry about it, not relevant to the discussion.
Doesn't Robbie have the 7th best record of all Aussie coaches? Better than Jones, Mckenzie and Cheika.

hard to keep track, there was a point there where they were turning over coaches as quick as turned over Prime Ministers
-
@mariner4life Yeah, they were all shit as well.

Great discussion about Ireland v Samoa
