The Silver Fern

Was in a newsagent today for unrelated reasons, and picked up the Daily Telegraph which is a disgusting league rag, but had the Wallabies mentioned on the front and full page image on the back.

Naturally you have to dig through 10 pages of NRL to get to the Wallabies two-page spread.

One of the journos was saying that allowing Kiss to serve out his time at the Reds until mid next year is a mistake, and I can't help but agree.

We're going to take our lumps this TRC but at least with a new coach in place we could have a full 2 year runup to RWC2027

It is a shame we have to go away to South Africa now and get the shit beaten out of us.

Twice.

@NTA what did he do?

Has not acknowledged the opposition once. Thanked RA for hosting while giggling at his team mates, but never even said the word "Wallabies".

Sheehan did.

Unlike Itoje who was a bit of a tool after Tests 1 & 2

And managed to come off as an even bigger twat at the trophy presentation.

Go scream at a lineout you dozy fluffybunny.

Sheehan gave a good post match interview.

Selection questions should haunt Australia, why not select Tupou for the 23 in tests 1&2? Why wasn't Uru involved?

The non selection of Tom Hooper in test 2 should be added to that. Crazy.

We had Valetini?

Is Gleeson a better bench option than Hooper? Not for me.

A good point. I guess I was thinking more about starting players. Gleeson is a good bench option for when the game breaks up a little

Biggest question for me though is why do Australia wear orange instead of gold??

That's Australian Fucken Gold my friend and don't you forget it!

@Bones said in Wallabies vs Lions III:

Well done Aus, shame you couldn't have found that grit a bit earlier.

Like 2012

Great win. Real grit and all that.

We still lost the series so it's a bittersweet taste

Balls.

Obstruction

Take the 3 you fluffybunnies

Meh. Could have been worse

Ooooh he's done

Williams has had good involvements since coming on

Right where Harrison stole the 2001 series

Shut up turinui

Mitchell on. So much better than JGP and yet, wasted

The job Schmidt has done in under 2 years is incredible when you consider what he took over with Eddie Jones

He's basically picked up the trajectory that Rennie left.
