When comparing the Wallabies to the All Blacks, their attack and defence in the first half was slow and full of holes.
The Wallabies will face the Springboks at Suncorp Stadium on August 10 and Joe Schmidt is set to name his squad - potentially later…
Currently, the Rebels are still slated to face the British and Irish Lions in 2025, but of course, this is no longer possible as the Rebels no longer exist.
Fiji will be against one of the best rugby teams in the world and it will be a difficult match as it always is - but they may be without some big names.
During the Rugby Championship, the Wallabies will need some extra muscle and that may involve some overseas talent.
The Super Rugby Pacific season has finally entered the finals stage and soon the selections for the Wallabies squad to take on Wales will…
Reds fans have favoured new winger Tim Ryan over the former NRL star - and only seem to remember how poor he has been this season.
So basically the narrative is “Since we decided to screw over Melbourne and get rid of their Super Rugby team, they’ve had a fit and withdrawn and now we’ve decided to host not only the Grand Final at Sydney but also the Semi Finals as well. We know Queensland has a good fanbase for rugby union but we don’t care, Sydney is all that matters”.

Didn’t Japan have the Sunwolves in Super Rugby before?

How would that help?
Half the Wallabies starting XV that almost beat Ireland are off contract in 2025 - here's the five RA can't lose
You can’t expect a business man who never played the game to understand
Wallabies say better discipline, not Schmidt's inside knowledge will help them spoil Ireland's 150th party
Probably late, he and Mosese didn’t seem to be anything special

No he’s currently doing off season with the Reds. Met him on Friday, he seems to be doing well right now.

Fourth match when it was against the Boks in Brisbane bro. I still don’t remember what happened to him and I was at the game.

The North has to do each other favours, if they see a Southern side has a good player that’ll potentially put the game in their (the South) favour, they’ll try and injure that player or get them carded somehow.

Remember when sometimes the All Blacks would actually walk up to their opponents and do the haka right in front of them like the 2007 RWC and the 1995 RWC. What happened to that?

Damn you Raelene Castle! But in all seriousness I wish this kid well and hope that the pressure of the fact that he’s our most expensive NRL convert to date doesn’t mess with his mind. RA didn’t pay this much for Marika, they didn’t pay this much for Suli, they didn’t pay this much for Izzy, not even Wendell, Nick and Lote were that expensive. I just hope that he plays well when he gets the opportunity.

Literally our consistent selections in the starting XV throughout the tour would probably be Tupou at Tighthead, Lukhan at lock (maybe Will as well), Fraser at openside flanker, Matt at hooker if Dave won’t go, and Tom and Andrew on fullback and wing.
I’m hoping Liam comes back because having Bobby at 6 doesn’t look or feel right at all. If Joseph proves himself a worthy purchase in the Australia XV matches he may be selected. I saw Kerevi on the weekend and he looked fit, Skelton will be welcome if he can prevent our maul moving backward and keep it moving forward and Filipo will be welcome to come back anytime.

That…was quick

You make a good point, but lets be honest if New Zealand or Australia helped out with Fiji Rugby Union or they actually managed to get their act together, we would’ve gone past the quarter finals years ago, hell maybe we would’ve in 07. Too bad New Zealand’s trying to get back to their glorious winning ways of a decade ago and the Wallabies are still trying to get back their mojo that they somewhat lost at the start of the century and then completely lost 8 years ago.
I honestly hope FRU gets its act together at some point and maybe World Rugby actually helps us out instead of leaving us to rot.

Thanks brother

He goes to my school and plays for my club team. There’s something special about that kid.
Aussie Schoolboys' win in NZ wasn’t as close as score suggests - and more players must follow Fittler into Super Rugby
Doesn’t England and France have a rule or something preventing them from playing for their country

See this is why we need international players for this competition. We currently do not have the muscle that we once had to keep up with the Springboks or the All Blacks. Especially in the forwards. In all honesty I had pretty creative squad in mind for the Rugby Championship, but the way Schmidt seems to be going about things, I doubt half that squad I had in mind will be in the Wallabies in the future.
I get what Joe’s trying to do but July tests sure, but the Rugby Championship, a competition we started with NZ and SA, nah we need all hands on deck for that one

“He would add a bit of value in the scrum without going overseas. It’s not like there’s a wealth of overseas players in the tight five.”
He’s joking right???

I don’t find anything wrong with his comment about how their selling rugby to the U.S who are..12th in the rankings of the sport. I mean seriously how are you supposed to market the game with two of the game’s biggest stars (one more than the other) if the kids only sports stars most kids in the U.S would actually know are Messi, Ronaldo, Brady, LeBron, Kobe and whole bunch of others. I mean seriously…I can guarantee no one in the U.S would know who Richie is, or DC, or Gregan, or Kolisi, or Habana. MLR better find a solution to this game advertising fast.
'Nonu means nothing to them': The USA has been selling rugby the wrong way - this is how the 2031 RWC can succeed
