Wallabies v Springboks
-
@Unco said in Wallabies v Springboks:
Are they that shallow in the centres with Gits and Toomua out or is Chieka taking some coaching lessons from Toddy playing his best 10 at 12?
And Beale who was probably playing his best rugby before he got injured.
But Foley's form is poor and Quade is largely an unknown quantity at this point in terms of his international form.
But the biggest problem isn't necessarily with the players but the structure and gameplan or lack thereof.

I dunno - three coaches and pretty much the same players (look at the number of caps dished out above) and still there is no elephant in the room?
What curious instruction from the coach had the Wallaby No 10 (heh, heh) doing star jumps then tripping over while Leinart-Brown passed to Dagg for a try a minute into the second match at Wellington? Why did Cheika then direct the same No 10 (heh, heh) to pirouette, pat Dagg on the back on the way through and fall over again as he scored his second try 21 minutes later?
They have long found it impossible to progress up the scale from "M" for mediocre!

Cheika has lost his mind
rhymes with eloquent...

I have a mammary like an elephant? -
That backline is um, would like to say exciting but..
Unless they can let the genie out of the old age bottle, give more space to the 10 (as lately he is easily cooped up), somehow extract finesse from that hodge podge on the wing, correct what has been a tactical folly at 12, stop the greedy at 13, cut out the petty patticakes on the other wing (plus hide this Nordic laptop from the 10) and allow the fullback to follow an actually planned backline move, it might be competitive. Looks like a full on berocca advert for Mr Cheika. -
I love Springboks vs Wallabies tests,, rugby test matches I can relaxedly watch. Like the Springboks players & team in general more (as how they come across in the media), so will be rooting for them. And that's despite their racist transformation crap. And Cheika just irks me somehow.

Word of the day, "relaxedly"
I support the Wallabies in these fixtures, but the way they are being coached and the poor tactics and performance of the players leaves a lot to be desired.

I used to support the Wallabies against the Boks but not anymore. These days the wobs are incredibly unlikeable.
Biggest bunch of plums in world rugby at the moment.

Uncouth, uncultured, unsporting etc.
All the cliches you associate with being Australian are brought out by Cheika's approach.
It's clear the NZ team don't rate them for post-match drinks either.

cripple fight!

I can't even feign indignation at that comment given how completely pants the Boks look at the moment.
I am anticipating a lot of head bashing and brutal confrontations - and that's just referring to me watching at home and the family having to put up with it. -
Saffas have a history of bottling it in Australia, so I expect a Wallabies win and the team being lauded as a team on the rise again

Those who bought tickets probably bought them months ago. Poor bastards.

Chekias tears are so sweet
-
Kaffer talking sense yet again in the face of martos bullocks
-
A bit more urgency in attack from the Wallabies both at the ruck and when the ball is spread.
Rubbish pass though from Foley, straight to Strauss.
-
I am ever so happy now - I just remembered that Gordon Bray broadcasts these matches on Ten and switched. Kafer was sending me to sleep - where was Kearns?
