    The Springboks talk about their own horrible inconsistency too. Just think it is part of the current international scene with the laws and officials being a leveller.

      The fact the Dave Rennie is not under pressure does my head in

      They were flogged tonight. As they have been a lot.

      Yes he's developing youth. And last week was actually really good.

      But no wallaby coach in my life time, especially a kiwi, has been able to get away with a half decent performance every couple of games
      All whole plunging down the rankings

      Dave's win rate is at 40%.

      Remember when we pilloried Robbie (who ended up almost 50 percent better at 58%.

        @mariner4life have seen a bit of chat around from the fan base about how he should prepare to resign.

        When I ask them "ok then what?" the conversation dries up.

        By all means let's put him under pressure for results. But let's have a genuine alternative or it's just a bluff.

        Additionally: how the fuck do you beat the pumas with a BP then lose to them and give away a BP? Same with the boks.

        How do you come back from 31-13 down against the ABs to nearly win, then put in that performance?

        Which one do you put down to the coaching?

        ... Australia offers a huge wad of cash to Ian Foster to take over.

            If he had any credibility at any stage he doesn't any more:

            The Wallabies are always looking for NRL players to switch codes, but why not league’s best coaches?

            It’s a little-known secret that Wayne Bennett was once asked if he would consider coaching the Wallabies and he gave it some serious consideration before deciding to stick with league.

            But what about Ricky Stuart, who played for the Wallabies? He’d been a sensation. Or Craig Bellamy? Or Trent Robinson? Rugby Australia should not be putting any limits on finding the right person.

                  He's a former Wallaby so does not meet @antipodean's criteria. 😉

                  But agree wholeheartedly. Chieka and Rennie are amateurs in comparison.

                        Argentina should not have been in a position where they could beat our national team by 30 points. We have slipped to seventh in the world rankings and surely Rennie should be coming under some pressure.

                          As just one example I've never seen NSW rugby in the doldrums like it was a couple of years ago. Just awful.

                          Whether it's player development, problem with the comps below Super level, the player and coaching exodus or what — something's not right with Australian rugby at it's core. Rennie can't be blamed for that.

                                          Think they already lined up Skelton but he's not available for Scotland as it's outside the window?
