I’m a All Blacks supporter, and I just want to say it’s such a real shame how far the Australian National Rugby team has fallen down the world rankings and to lose to both Fiji and Wales, the way they did. It’s so important for New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere that Australia gets back up to where they once where. It wasn’t that long ago when Australia had names like Michael Lynagh, John Eales, George Gregan, Tim Horan, George Smith, and David Pocock winning and competing against the best rugby teams in the world. Now days, it’s hard for a rugby supporter to name a current Wallabie!! As a rugby supporter, I just find this situation to be extremely sad and disappointing for world rugby. All the best to our Aussie cousins moving forward…

[@janhughes549]

South Africa has been where they are now and it hurts (I'm a saffa). I'm sure they'll come back. I think the AB are the only team that haven't gone through a slump like this.

[@janetihaka799]

[@nickc5417]

Too many short term coaches creates inconsistency, terrible boardroom management strategy - Raelene Castle was a disaster, selecting players who lack rugby intellect...

[@joedennehy386]

Dave Rennie had assembled the makings of a team from a rabble, they beat South Africa, France, just lost to France and Ireland last year, and if they had have kicked the ball out, would have beaten New Zealand. They shafted him and hired a guy who had failed as the England coach for the last couple of years. Jamie Joseph did way more for Japan rugby than fast Eddie. He's a great one off coach, but the miracle in Brighton didn't do anything for Japan rugby

[@nickc5417]

@@joedennehy386 yeah it was a strange move - hiring a guy who was just fired from England, (they're a dark horse creeping up quietly too). It's like the ARU picked style over substance for marketing purposes with Eddie, very low percentage move months out from the Cup, swinging the axe, not even having Hooper in the squad - was never going to work. Rennie isn't a limelight guy but I think his plan was working and I reckon would have had the squad peaking at the right time, guess we'll never know but yeah, going with Fast Eddie's Miracle Snake Oil Cure for Everything was odd - he certainly got the Wallabies a lot of attention though, shame wasn't the type that wins fans

[@Nat-oj2uc]

While Georgia is a good team their ref sucks

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@Nat-oj2uc I don’t think the Georgian Ref sucked. Joy was adamant that there was separation yet the video she showed showed none. Raynal saw none either. The Georgian Ref saw none either. But Joy kept hammering in over and over again that there was. He was in a tough spot, his TMO was adamant, but didn’t provide the actual video to defend her position. It was bizarre, to the point that it seemed conspiratorial, and looks really bad on Joy’s part. And Joy is a very good ref herself. It was a most bizarre moment

[@peterhughes8699]

As an Aussie I say WBs are a #10 team in world and they played like one in this RWC. The squad Eddie selected was not the best Australia has imo. They were 10 players who did not deserve selection imo. Many of them are NOT young guys and the actual young guys selected have little potential either. There are many selected players who are proven Test duds and always will be. Leota, Porecki, Isaac F-L, Schoupp, Petaia, Fa'amausili, Kemeny, Faessler, Arnold, Vunivalu, Nongorr are not Test standard and never will be

[@pcoppleman]

Agree up to a point. That Eddie chose to throw away previous senior talent is the worst decision for fans who ride this Wallaby train, paying good money to see the Wallabies lose..... If we dont see major change in RA then anything Eddie does will be a waste of time.

[@invert1100]

Arnold and Skelton were both selected as the best second rows of the year in the Rugby Top 14 in France. A competition that is at a much higher prestige then super rugby atm.

How you doing mate? We only had one objective this week mate, we're not dead in the water mate. I hate conjecture mate. Have you seen we've been working hard mate? Producing the results off the field mate, not on it though mate. That's how we're gunna beat them mate. Off the field mate. Beat that powerhouse of rugby called Portugal mate. Minnows mate, but a powerhouse mate. Yeah, no mate. Progressing and developing mate. We've gone from losing to winning mate. They've all played less than 10 tests mate. Wait until they've played at least 50 tests mate. Like the guys I left back at home mate. You know, the veterans mate. Didn't need them mate. Youngest side in Australian history mate. I decided we weren't gunna win it with all the experienced players I left at home mate. Memories mate, that's what we've got mate. Good memories of being thrashed by Wales and Fiji mate. You can't buy those memories mate. We're gunna be better next week mate. Played with character today mate. Stoked mate. We beat Portugal mate. Huge rugby team mate. Beautiful game mate, because we won mate. Though it's a different game mate. We haven't controlled our own destiny mate. Full responsibility mate. We don't have to worry about chance mate. We haven't left it up to chance mate. Progression mate. Gunna have 3 days off mate. That's the only answer mate. 3 days off mate. I just said that mate. I don't mean to be rude mate. You need to uppercut yourself whilst listening mate. Gunna sabotage the Fijians with Cava mate. See, I told you we aren't leaving anything up to chance mate. Destiny mate. Gunna perform the surgery myself on Carter at a later date mate. Not required right now though mate. Let him hobble for a few days mate. Referees are causing problems mate. Obvious red cards mate. Hand them out like Cadbury's candy mate. That'll keep the game flowing mate. No science involved in our game mate. So the TMO doesn't need to be a nuclear quantum particle receptionist or something mate. Just needs to be able to watch telly mate. Science is for the cycle jockeys and dinghy racing mate. I mean, I'm not a captain of a boat mate. Don't worry about all the sports scientists and nutritionists working in the back ground in rugby on the players training, fitness and diet mate. Bad answer mate. Hadouken yourselves mate.

I would give this man 4 more years, I think he's building something with young team.

Arghhhhahahahahahahahaha

the ARU would be mad to do so, but, they are, the result of RWC23. feel for the players and fans

[@buyisilezono404]

Australia don't enough depth on their side they haven't played good rugby in ten years, you expect Eddie to perform miracles ?

[@vinekeep1]

@@buyisilezono404 there is no miracle in rugby, it is all about strategy and hard yakka

[@bernardadams8074]

Mate, so many young players, looking to get better than they are now mate. Fantastic mate.

[@philcutterham1464]

Eddie you are 110 percent right, to much ref envolvment. To much ref telling players what to do. We abide by the refs decision, he is on the pitch and as old players wo do not, disrespect the Ref. We need to go back to thd old style of reffing no tmo, before you ruin thd game for ever. Thd RFU AND WORLD RUGBY, gave speeded the game up much to its detriment , and made it more dangerous, they have done that. That is why, you have crowds booing.

Jones was hired because people thought he could do the job. Stick with the coach because whoever is hired as a replacement will just be someone who the Board thinks can do the job.

Australian Rugby can be ; Very Pleased that We who know !!! can see Eddie Jones's team and the future vision of Australia. Rugby has now the ability to be growing forward toward Australia, being a strong force in Rugby Union again.

[@prof_kaos9341]

The wheels fell off Aussie rugby 10+yrs ago, its not the coach/EJ's fault, how many coaches have RA sacked for no change? The failure was in RA's management & started in 2003.

[@tallaganda83]

There is absolutely no depth in Rugby. The only option imo is to poach as many NRL players as possible and put a good system around them to learn/re-learn the game. State cup level players are better than most of our Super Rugby talent.

[@prof_kaos9341]

@@tallaganda83 agree, a Shakespearean tragedy. In 2003 after hm. RWC, with a winning team, lots of fans & $50mil in the bank. John O'Neil decided to spend the cash, not live off investing it & cut funding to grass roots. The rot started.

[@caintindal1671]

My questions that he has to really think about are one why did you not have one or more experience jumpers in the side as we had only really 2 jumpers in the side Hooper being young did not have the experience. Three best jumpers Australia do have were not in the side? Question Nr 2 why did not take players that were inform rather than 4 injured players that played 6 games all year and were not fit enough to go to the world cup. 3. You also left two good hookers at home and took one that did not deserve to be in the side. Last question can you change the way you think yes or no?
