Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

Ignore 3 points followed by a **** up

They never, ever learn

Still not scored a point, or looked like scoring a point, since this moment.

I'm Gold Blooded for life, but **** me it's getting harder and harder.

So unless Scotland beats Ireland to allow SA to win the group, all 4 pools will be topped by northern hemisphere teams!

The power balance has definitely shifted.

 

[Bahnz]

Stop, stop, they're already dead.

Looks like Eddie’s reign of error will end soon. Tbt I feel sorry for him being hoodwinked into coaching a team of incompetents who probably have little regard for the jersey anyway.

rugby Australia is truly the most bizarrely awful administration I’ve ever loathed. That a sporting body could so misrepresent their game that it turns loyal supporters into actively hating their own team is something you wouldn’t think possible. That is where I am with this team. I hate them and I’m pleased to see the wallabies humiliated. Long may it continue.

I hope Aus can get something sorted ahead of the Lions' tour and 2027 rwc.

It will only be a band aid on a broken leg

Q.
Is Jamieson Park, Anscombe, Aki a better 9-10-12 axis under big game pressure than anything NZ can pick?

Also Gatland seems a lot astute than his old provincial team mate Foster.

 

[Ali TT]

The pity in the voice of our commentators in the UK says it all really.

we lose each of those test by 50 tbh

I don't think it's a lack of effort from the Australians, Donaldson performance summed up their team. In the first half for every good bit of rugby he played he then made a couple of mistakes. They can't attack 3 phases together without dropping or throwing the ball away and can't defend 3 phases without conceding a penalty. There is no team cohesion.

 

[ripper868]

Tbh i wish it was lack of effort. As it is, we are just lacking the cattle.

Good thing we drew Fiji and Wales for the pool phase, if we had to play any of the actually good teams we'd of been blown away by 50.

 

[ripper868]

And just to make sure we make sure we are ****, Carter kicks a penalty kick dead in goal instead of hitting any of the 100m of sideline available.

Don't think I've seen such **** execution of basics at a professional level ever.

That was a ****ing hilarious capper to a wonderful evening watching Australia be utterly incompetent.

Jeez. Getting very ugly now.

Never thought I'd feel sorry for an Australian sporting team, but here it is.

Donaldson isn’t a regular starter for his Super Rugby team

Team Is amateur hour

Nope

RA brought this on themselves

It’s literally been 2 decades of appalling mismanagement and it’s driven the game into the ground

 

[Tom Flint]

Do a lot of the players grow up playing other codes then take up union as an adult.
To me it looks as if they aren't all natural union players

 

[ripper868]

For anyone wanting to stick the boot in to Aus rugby, go for it. You can't hurt what is so very obviously already dead.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I mean, when a squad's second choice stand off is a full back by trade, one would assume they're screwed for options, but there's Noah Lolesio, Bernie Foley and Quade Cooper all cooling their heels at home, so, y'know, WTF?

Eddie knows what hes doing mate, we just have to trust the process.

Hopefully that process is ****ing everyone currently involved in the administration (and Eddie) of the game into the sun.

 

[GotSpin]

That was one of the worst all round performances I've ever seen . Not much else to say and I don't think there can be a single positive take away from how they played
