You don't become a rubbish coach overnight - its taken Eddie Jones 8 years! Pugnacity will only get you so far and rugby union in Oz is 4th or 5th placed sport possibly 6th or 7th if one takes netball into account.neilcork68 wrote: September 25th, 2023, 9:56 amCathedralCounty wrote: September 25th, 2023, 9:30 am Flip me!

As well as Wales played against one of the worst Australian sides I can ever remember watching in my Lifetime...( Eddie Jones strikes again - how does that clueless guy keep getting jobs is beyond me) they will be / are miles behind Ireland and South Africa.
As an Englishman it pains me to say Wales would probably beat England at the moment but get nowhere near winning it even if the draw favours them.
They would need to step up one or even two levels to get anywhere close.
Semi Finals at best I fear....
At least that's one stage more than England will get too as it looks like we will have Figi in the Quarter Finals . Can't see us beating them.Borthwick still thinks 90's style Rugby is the way forward...
Agreed. Think too many people wrote off the All Blacks after their opening game defeat. Could that game be replayed as the last game in the final.?mad norm wrote: October 14th, 2023, 10:59 pm AND... What an awesome game of rugby. ,Ireland v All Blacks
Privileged to have seen it
Disappointing as it was to see Wales lose yesterday, at least we're spared a huge defeat against the All Blacks.OLDCROMWELLIAN wrote: October 15th, 2023, 9:24 amAgreed.

I think it was Sid Going who said of Welsh rugby, "You can never beat Wales, you can score more points than they do, but you can never beat them".neilcork68 wrote: October 22nd, 2023, 12:45 pm you play to your strengths when your the UNDERDOG
As a County fan you should appreciate that theory.
Everyone , including myself expected a one sided game but at least we got there and put on a good performance.
How did Wales get on in their Semi Final....I missed that result ?
