The Ugly Face of Australian rugby...

The ugly mug of a snarling Cheika, the whining commentary and the constant niggling of their players in this generation ....present an unattractive picture. The slightest contact seems to draw an angry response from this team....miserable fouls by Hooper, Foley, Coleman and Higginbottom detracted from a few aesthetic moments mostly involving Folau. .. And then you have the touching story about how Nabuli's family are watching from Fiji as he plays for Oz. .. For the final touch, the Quaalude with red shoes comes on.....crass stuff.

James Oconner became the Luke Watson of Australian Rugby, and things spiraled downwards thereafter. The previous coach stepped down due to the Beale saga- and Oconner was no doubt involved
Australia just dont seem to have many game breakers anymore. Most are just decent players. Super rugby has become a total shambles, where the teams are a mumble jumble of new players not up to standard.

 
To think that these clowns are ranked above us ... to think that we'll take ranking points from beating them and advance up the ladder.

Is that how we improve our world ranking ... by beating these hopeless cases?

"Is that how we improve our world ranking ... by beating these hopeless cases?"

Firstly, yes, that is pretty much how the rankings work, Klown . . . you beat a team and you gain points while they lose points (duh) and secondly, we haven't beaten them yet.

No you stupid plank. CC had it right, if we beat the Aussies we gain points. On the other hand if you beat a team ranked below you, like France you don't necessarily improve your ranking as we saw last week.
