RWC Week 3: Wales v Australia

[Victor Meldrew]

Samu Kerevi is a shadow of his former self. Eddie's "coaching"?

[JayCee]

@Mattasaurus focus on our partnership with Japan

[sparky]

The fat lady is getting ready to sing goodbye to Eddie Jones’ international coaching career.

He’s really fucked up this Wallaby squad.

And yet the ARU are the ones making all the demands of NZRFU regarding SR and RC - i say fark off you are dragging us down with you

We need a strong Aussie. The SANZAR unions were miles out ahead in the 90s/00s, but the infighting and chopping and changing of super rugby has seen the north move comfortably ahead.

Mate, if the Aussie SR teams fark off then the NZ teams' winning percentage will plummet, did you think about that?

Wales 29 Australia 6. This is getting ugly now.

[antipodean]

Australia out by four scores now. Would take a miracle to deny Wales a losing bonus point from here.

[Billy Tell]

Now he yanks the 10 for the 22. The reverse of last week. What a clown.

[Steven Harris]

Puts the rugby championship in perspective, all we have been doing is beating up our little brother each year .

[MajorPom]

I genuinely cannot remember seeing a better executed kicking game than Wales tonight.

Nigh on perfect.

[Winger]

29-6. Not over yet though. For this game and Eddie's future

[sparky]

Gatland is a superb international coach. This is a masterclass from him.

Aus commentary on Stan sounds like a funeral.

Guys, you keep forgetting that this is all just about developing the team for the Lions tour, so no worries mate

Way too optimistic.

[sparky]

Campo’s magic at Lansdowne Road, Larkham’s droppie, Eales’ kick at the Cake tin and Gregan’s taunt of ‘four more years’ all seem a very long time ago right now.

[Billy Tell]

Barnes calls a marginal forward pass…

[Mattasaurus]

@GibbonRib

Yup - I say cut the apron strings with ARU - from what i have heard the club scene is dire outside of Sydney and even that is a shadow of what it once was.....

I struggle to see Aussie rugby coming back from this last couple of years and now this RWC farce - consistently poor leadership in the ARU and the foundations of rugby in Aussie are crumbling... I hope they can revive it.. but seriously doubt it.

NZ can focus on Pacifica, Japan, Pumas and SA. and creating a stronger NPC... what is it that the Aussies bring anymore - do they even remember what the Bledisloe cup is?

[mariner4life]

Can we submit a formal transfer request for Valetini?
