Wow, 4 games into one of the most skilful and experience coaches and his record stands at 100%


100% losses after 4 games. 


It doesn't get any easier, now they have to travel across the ditch and try beat the All Blacks in their own back yard. 


Not sure if there aren't enough quality Australian players left anymore if it is just Eddie Jones, But Dave Rennie Struggled, Robbie Deans, Michael Cheika to name a few. Australia use to be such a difficult and formidable team to play against. I team that had smarts and skill, not brawn. 


I listened to Eddie the other day and he mentioned that all the young up and coming rugby players get picked up but rugby league teams at school age, they get a contract age 18 and already set on their way and making money. 


Where as Rugby is falling apart in Australia. Really sad to see the game take such big nose dive in one of the best rugby nations on the planet. 


They won the World Cup twice, no easy feat and beaten finalist. No coach can rescue Australia and it will be a 15 year rebuilding process. 


The can't keep importing South Sea Islanders, they need get home grown talent

Eddie "pap" Jones

What does he build.... huge packs full of muscle and no mobility.

Australia has a good backline, as they usually do. However, many of their pack, especially the tight 5 are not test standard players.

Eddie Jones accepted a poison chalice. He does need to find new young talent in the pack.
All Blacks looked like they had turned the corner. Compared to the legacy All Blacks, the prior 3 years were the weakest All-Black team, Barret has developed as a lock and provides more physicality than Sam Whitelock, who is still good, but past his best.

Doesn't help that Lomax was a Ausie u20 player and 3 years later the All Blacks starting prop

The pack has enough material, but they are still missing players. The Wallabies, since 2019, have been the worst of all time each passing year. They can still pack a punch, as we saw last year when an injury-ravaged Wallaby side ripped the substandard Boks apart with ease, actually punishing their soft underbelly. They are on the good side of the draw, and have firepower we could only dream of, so we can't take them lightly. Look at 2019, we were ranked 5th going into the WC and 6th after the loss in the group stages, and a good draw really helped us. England and Australia only need a couple of genuine showings to win it all as well!
