    My point was the super season has almost started and 'talks have begun', and star Wallabies have no idea when, or even if, they'll be rested. NZ SR teams know exactly what is happening, and have been able to plan for that since last year.

    ""Hopefully, there is a plan and we're not just playing it by ear," Foley said. "There needs to be a balance around the amount of football we play and getting the right amount of rest."

    Hopefully? Fucking awful

      Really? I like this bit more:

      Newly appointed Director of Rugby Scott Johnson has been added to the set-up alongside coach Michael Cheika after the Wallabies slipped to sixth in the world following a disastrous 2018 Test season.

      But Foley said there was no talk of the new structure, or whether under-pressure assistant coaches Stephen Larkham, Nathan Grey, Simon Raiwalui and Michael Byrne would remain in their posts for the main event.

        Yeah I'd hope Scott J could sort this shit out, but I'm not following you - do you think it's OK for RA to not have sorted yet Wallabies rest times for the SR season yet? Like Cheika asking for Pocock etc to be rested a week before the game? That's OK or do you think it's pretty poor? I think it is unprofessionalism of the first order

            @Machpants Of course it's unprofessional - the players have no idea what's going on.

                    Pfft, you're forgetting all those awesome tries the backs scored for the Brumbies. The ones where they joined the mauls...

                                  @NTA figured that was in line with Aussie rugby ignoring the South Island, mostly on defence.

                                    I remember this game well. I actually religiously watched super rugby back then.

                                    You know your teams done shit if Caleb Ralph gets four meat pies.

                                        Cheika and Bernie can't work together as they have different opinions on what makes a good attack.
                                        Meanwhile Cheika appears totally fine working with Nathan Grey as defence coach. A guy whose CV highlights include record scores against the teams he coaches.

                                          Just saw that the Tahds are playing a pre season against the Brumbies in Goulburn. Where can I place some money on a record number of ankle injuries if they are playing at the cow paddock that is the Poidevin Oval.
