'Disaster': Wallabies bullied by second string Springboks

'It's a terrible start to Eddie's campaign'

wwos.nine.com.au

Looks like the Wallabies need more NRL players.

Nz smashed Argentina....but..but it's only the RLWC that has blow outs

The Wallabies have a dream draw for the WC, the hardest games they'll play before the Semis will be Wales and Japan. The first hard game will be the semi final...if the wallabies aren't one of the final 4 teams, it'll be a disaster.

The Captain, Horwill, stated ‘A week is a long time in football. It’s not like it can’t be fixed. There are easy fixes. There are small things in terms of playing at the right end of the field,” said an upbeat Horwill on Stan Sport.’
So an easy fix is being in the other teams half? That’s the hard bit. They spent 47 seconds in the Boks 22.

Eddie Jones made Ricky Stuart look reasonable in his press conference afterwards. What a whiny little prick.

And can someone who understands the game (@Te Kaha?) explain to me why Vuni got binned? He just stuck his leg out, didn't make contact with anyone? (Or did I miss something?)

The games are so different these days, surely Vunis and RTS struggles will make the ARU hesitant to sign any more NRL player's?

I'm certain Suaalii will be a disaster, he's scored 1 brilliant try ( on the end of a perfect Keary kick ) in his career, I'm scratching my head to see what the hype is about .

The Saffa's also rested half their top side to be ready for the All Blecks lol.

The rah rahs are going to need very deep pockets

Nrl stars used to walk into the wallabies

Folau was their player of the year for ages

it’s more for marketing anyway

it worked for their last World Cup and they are hoping it’ll work again bc if they had to rely on their own hype it will be a disaster

Ha yes, they rested 12 starters....so the Wallabies got thrashed by South Africas reserves

True about Izzy, and more recently korabete has won the John Eales player of the year nearly every year....and Radradra is still killing it in Europe

Shame about that warchest.

Shame about that warchest.

I remember the good old days where John O’Neill predicted union would overtake the nrl and Peter fiztstupid said the rebels would overtake the storm

 

[Wb1234]

With rules like these it’s a wonder anyone watches

 

[CQLeaguey]

The wallabies are terrible. Brenko Lee would get a run with them… in 2027…

I remember during the 2015 RWC Fitzy wrote a nauseating article how rugby was BOOMING world wide !! especially in Germany and the USA. He predicted with thier population, investment from world rugby and thier new found love for 'the world game ' Germany and USA would be real powerhouses within a decade .

... well, it's nearly a decade later and neither Germany or USA are 'power houses ' ...the USA were beaten by rugby mad Chile to miss qualifying for this year's world cup

Don't get me started on this topic !!

This shows what happens when clubs run the competition, they kill off any threats.

2nd biggest missed opportunity in leagues history. ( #1 being the Southern Union not agreeing to the rule changes )

Vichy France has to be up there too

or rfu allowing nz and wales to have broken time payments after the nu broke away

What’s the bit about southern unions not agreeing to rule changes ?

English rl is a joke. You’ve got an Aussie pouring in millions of pounds to prove rugby league works in Toronto and they do their best to kill it off

Anyone know what this is about
