Bloody hell.
If NZ cant get SA back Super rugby, we likely need something very drastic very quickly.
No wonder we are falling behind as well.
There is no way SA are coming back to super rugby. Horse has bolted. You can forget it.

Might be worth throwing some money on Portugal for their match vs Aussieā¦
LOL

The resignation in the commentators voice would once have bought me much joy...... but this, as others have already said, is sad...
-
More carries. Heaps more run metres. Few missed tackles
Pumped by 34. Rugby is a funny game.
-
Aus were competitive for 20 min. Game was fun. Then they just decided to play like a school boy team. Sad as I would much rather them win.
NZ and Aus really are falling behind now. Not sure how Aus will recover from this.
Will supporters just switch to NFL and Aussie rules now? -
Post match is some very dejected looking ex-wallabies

40?!! From Wales? This is sad
Imagine what it could have been like if Welsh URC rugby was in better order than it is. Come to think of it weren't Wales rather average in the last 6 Nations as well?

It's simple. Aust shouldn't have insisted on 5 sides. They had 4 and had an out. They foolishly didn't work with NZ and take it
They realistically have enough players for 2 good sides. A max of three. 5 is idiotic and was never going to work. It will never work and will drag Aust rugby down
-
Its now Super rugby's fault ..... I for one partially agree - Aussie simply has too many teams -- spreads the talent to thinly ...
I feel for Hooper standing there... poor bastard - but he spoken well and appears to be a solid bloke - he really must have taken a big steamy dump in Eddies weet a bix....

Well a lot of roosters are coming home to roost unfortunatley, and I get no joy in seeing it.!
The whole RA thing has ben cause this.
Eddie Jones was pulled in late,then said he was picking young fellas who hadn't learnt to lose, and has now taught them to be losers!
And I listening to Stephen Hoiles saying now again (and correctly) that having 5 teams in super is spreading talent to thin and having to buy in players from overseas etc.
They are 2 that come to mind. -

Welsh rugby is in a pretty shocking state - not as bad as Australian, but it is an utter mess from the WRU down.
The fact that Gatland is able to get a team playing at a decent competitive level despite the chaos is very much to his credit.

Breaking news - Australia has deported Eddie Jones for crimes against the nation

SBW feeding it to Eddie

Like the Berlin Wall coming down this is the RWC that confirms the transition to the NH.
