His comments about Michael Hooper made me absolutely furious. Hooper is a 1000× the man EJ could ever dream of being. Absolute disgrace. And im a Wales supporter

This whole thing was so rough. Quade led your team to victory over Boks about a year ago. Those senior players were robbed of a career opportunity and Australian rugby looked pretty pathetic at the WC, all thanks to Jones.

Feel really bad for Michael Hooper, he had Eddie's back even when he wasn't selected (which is BS, should have been selected) and everything was turning to shit in the RWC23, Michael still supported him but for Eddie to come out and say he wasn't the right role model or even motivated to win and that his time had past is complete bullshit and a slap in the face to Michael. Out of that whole squad Michael is by far the one to go the extra mile and never give up even when things aren't looking good.

Such a stupid thing to say about Hoops. That guy gave everything at every game. I hope that the next coach puts Michael Hooper back in the team. Eddie destroyed Hoops World Cup dream. This must have undoubtedly upset him and his family tremendously. He deserves better 💚💛🇿🇦

Cheers for the ongoing coverage, Wildkard. You've been a great ground-level ambassador and showing the real side of rugby in Australia. I hope your voice only continues to grow and reach further. Also Wally Lewis was sacked because he was supposedly having it off with one of the Broncos Executive's wives.

The sad part about Eddie Jones is his fall from an admired coach at the Brumbies to Super 12 Cup, coaching Australia to a win over the British and Irish Lions in 2001 and into the 2003 final, losing against the best England team in its history, then consulting at the Boks (Jake White and Eddie Jones being such good friends) for the 2007 WC (Which I think was a masterstroke), coaching Japan into a formiddable team and building the foundations in Japan (thus beating the Boks), to starting very well at England to end up going into a downward spiral. I just wonder whether the chase for fame and something bigger did not corrupt his own individual standing and viewpoint as a person. I still do respect him as a coach, but somehow he needs to regain what he had lost as a person.

Eddie does not look in the mirror... He looks at his Bank account

You're the man Wildkard, hoping for a brighter Wallabies future in 2024 and beyond...

I enjoyed every minute of this rant. 😂 it’s way better than watching Netflix

As a Kiwi i hated Hooper in his early years but he's a top bloke, everything you'd want in a role model. I hope Hoops is up for one last world cup campaign cause he'd be one of the few who could do it.

As a SA fan I know what your going through 😢, 6 years ago we went through the same lows and really hope things only gets better for ARU. Southern hemisphere needs the Aussie back to their former glory.

As a kiwi, I like your straight talking, good on ya mate.

I remember we as the stormers were so happy we got him. And he just left us for England the day he should start for the Stormers.

King of the rant - great work Wildkard

I feel for you, bro. I feel for Rennie for actually building a team culture, coaching good rugby and then being unceremoniously dropped. I feel for Hooper, Cooper, Samu, Hodge, Holloway and all the players being dropped because of Eddie's ego and incompetence. Michael Hooper not a good role model? What a joke. And Hooper just shows class in his responses. I'm afraid Eddie caused massive damage for Rugby Union in Australia with his stunts. Good luck to the next coach. He has a massive amount of work to do.

I have huge respect for Eddie but I don't anymore because he didnt stay on and have the balls to be accountable for his poor performances. Yeah he had lied his way in and out of the Wallabies. I think he is a good assistant coach but not a head coach. But Im glad he is gone now. It is time for the Wallabies to get their stuff in good order.

Yes lies and no accountability.. 😐 disgrace

I couldn't agree with you more about Eddie. He wouldn't even be worth pissing on if he was on fire. What I would love, and I know it's a stretch but not impossible is Michael Hooper to captain the Wallabies at the 27 RWC. I have so much respect for Hoops. The way he has handled the Eddie Jones debacle has been pure class. Moving forward, WildKard and fellow WildKard subscribers, who do you think is the best fit to be the next Wallabies coach? Larkham's name has been thrown around a bit. I hope Cheika doesn't put he hand up again, I'm personally not a big fan. It's a shame someone like John Eales isn't interested, I reckon he has all the characteristics to make an amazing coach. Keep up the great work WildKard 👍

Never change, Wildkard......still love your passion bud👍👌. Regards from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦

“How dare you fucking say that” that should be the title of his biography, great run down sir 👏

What's a worse hit for Australian Rugby? Firing this guy after the Wales loss and just settling his contract? Or allowing him to turn around and say "see ya" after that global humiliation? Australian Rugby should've just taken the fiscal hit and saved some face after that embarrassing debacle and publicly given the guy his marching orders as soon as it became clear that they weren't going to make it out of one of the easiest groups on their own terms.

Greatest trick Eddie ever played was convincing the world he is a good coach

Bro imagine a dude coming into the chef's kitchen, throwing out all the food on the floor, taking a piss on it, gets on the table, takes a dump and starts a fire in a garbage can then says "sometimes you gotta eat shit b4 you can eat caviar" and promptly strolls off 😂

Love You Wildkard. That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be! but remember to breathe dude, we need you alive

*Rassie Erasmus, the only coach in history, to win two World Cup titles*🏆🏆... Eddie truly let the Wallabies down... feel for rugby down-under.

In South Africa at Stormers /Western Province we dodged a bullet when England came calling after we had signed him

Worst Era in Wallaby history has finally come to an end!😆

I feel your pain Wildkard!

Farken get Wildcard to commentate our games. I will watch every second religiously and even during the stoppage. 😂

I have waited for this one! Big up on you for being so passionate, keep that passion for your team! Admirable! Make Aussie Rugby Great Again! We need a competitive Aussie to keep TRC at the top of rugby! I want to put forward a conspiracy theory: When that Aussie fan at the MCG called him a traitor and he got booted from the England job, he wiggled himself into the Aussie job and did his utmost to humiliate Australia just to spite that one guy.

As a Saffa, I feel your pain mate. Rugby needs a strong Aussie team. I think what Jones has done to Aussie rugby is disgraceful and dispicable. Your team will rise again and come back stronger, because that's what great teams do and it's in your DNA.

This is crazy😮 I hope they apologise and beg coach Rennie to come back.

Bravo Fucken Bravo, From NZ, I feel your pain and Bullshit thats going on in Oz.

19:24 Whahahahaha I had such a great laugh just now, thanks for the entertainment! Hope the Japanese guy at least buy old Ed some dinner, flowers and put some rose pebbles in a hot tub, before he deflowers the we con man!

Im a saffa. I hope Australia can build from here. We want to see aus rise to there former glory

I still remember how everyone called him a genius after the Japan win over the Boks. Then the week of the run up to the 2019 rwc final, he was greater than Webb Ellis himself. What happened? How do fall off a cliff so bad?

Mate, I love your passion and you are saying it the way I feel, savagely!!! Awesome! Keep it going! Can Australia Rugby disavow all contracts so we can choose the best players to play British and Irish lions. We need to bounce back hard and play with pride..

It baffles me how even countries outside of Australia want to see the Wallabies thrive again, yet, our own board can't seem to get the system right. Yes, it will require a huge overhaul, but where are our legends from the 90s and stand out players from the past decade in this equation? There are people with heart and knowledge about the game who have worn the green and gold jersey, but no one is putting their hand up. Albeit, the situation is dire, but it's hard enough as a spectator to watch the disarray that's occuring, how are ex high profile union players watching this go by? I've loved this game since I grew up above any other code in Australia, I just want to see some improvement

Thanks dude. Hope you're well. Keep bringing us the news.

Mate, I hope the ARU get their shit together. A supporter with your passion deserves a team to be proud of. We need to get back to the All Black vs Wallabies clashes of old.

OMG That was best Rugby rant ever!! Great finish.

Spirited stuff! Don’t hold back! 😀

Love the intensity! 😂

Dropping off the Most experienced players before this World Cup was the worst decision I have ever seen was so Looking forward to seeing them play for Australia in the World Cup and after that Press interview were he was Asked have you signed a Contract with Japan 🇯🇵 I could see he’s Lies coming Through 😢 All I can say is hopefully Australia Rugby will see the Fuck Up they have Caused the Country love your content and discussion Big Respect Mate 🇿🇦👍

Hooper is my boy. As a flanker, growing up I would watch footage of him and Ritchie constantly. Top player, captain and legend. From a Brit.

I'm pissed too mate, he's given the whole Southern Hemisphere a kick in the goolies, hope he has fun coaching Hoops in the Baa Baa's.

I do think that Wildkard was correct when he said the rugby in Australia needed to be fixed from the ground up. Let's not focus on EJ - yes it was a mess. Yes he went into this without a proper plan. Yes not taking some older players was not appropriate. However you were right about the fact that reducing the number of super teams only gives you a short term sugar hit. I was amazed by that comment it's correct so we need a far better plan. I don't see any real will within Australia to make those changes.

Eddie Jones.... -Mr ''I'm committed to Rugby Australia''. Even the reporter ask him again for Eddie to be 100% clear about what he had just said, and Eddie was still committed to Rugby Australia apparently. -Mr ''I'm sorry for the Wallabies fans for the 2 World Cup losses to both Fiji and Wales, it's my responsibility, and I'll try my hardest to fix it!''' - Backstabbed his own home country's captain Micheal Hooper, who Micheal supported Eddie during his time at commentary, during the Stan Sports show during the World Cup. -Backstabbed not just the Oringial Wallabies Veteran Captain Micheal Hooper.....But also both Quade Cooper (Love him or Hate Him. He's still a reasonable, quality player), and Bernard Foley as well. But Eddie being Eddie said Fu*k that, they are too good to pick and Eddie went with fresher, new players all over to the World Cup! -Also Eddie, what do you mean when he says that the Wallabies senior players are too good to fly over? It's a fricken World Cup! Just bring your senior players over to the World Cup, since the World Cup happens every 4 years! -Make his Wallabies Rugby World Cup Squad around him Hell! For expecting the new fresher players to be perfect under the pressure. Also He changed Captains from Will Skelton to then David Poriciki. For me I absolutely feel for the Wallabies World Cup team. Since the Wallabies needed a good mix of both the fresher new players and the experienced players as well. So when things goes tight the Wallabies experienced players will claim down the new players. Than just having less experienced players with more new fresher players into a World Cup! -Had a Record low of (2-7-0) Wins: Beat Georgia 35-15 Beat Portugal 34-14 Losses: Lost to Fiji 15-22 Lost to Wales. 6-40 Lost to France. . 17-41. . (Warm-up match) Lost to All Blacks. 20-23. (Bledisole Cup) Lost to All Blacks. 7-38 (Rugby Championship) Lost to Argentina. 31-34 (Rugby Championship) Lost to South Africa 12-43 (Rugby Championship)

Fuck you're funny mate and spot on. You should do a post about the refs and the system we as fans have to sit through and dread who is the ref.

Lovn this Wildkard guy 😊

Thank You !!!!! I love your work boet! much love from South Africa

love the passion / tone in your videos man, hands down best youtube channel discovery of the WRC! i feel for the wallabies although it was never a team i liked very much... I still cant believe the damage EJ did in England and Australia, sabotage 101!!!

Love your rants, punctuated by those pregnant pauses. Here’s a couple of points fellow viewers might appreciate: Wally Lewis was an Australian Schoolboys Union player and played with the Ella brothers touring UK undefeated before becoming King Wally in Rugby League. The Sydney Morning Herald no less actually editorialised against Hamish. I’m *so* pissed off he hasn’t done the honourable thing and resigned. Even a shred of due diligence regarding Jones’ recent shenanigans in RFU set-up would have shown a retreaded EJ was *not* a suitable Wallabies Head Coach candidate - especially only months out from a RWC.

I'd say Rugby Australia must have felt like right idiots seeing their team fail so miserably after leaving their only chances of getting anywhere at home. Lesson for the young player.

I truly feel for you Wildkard, Eddie is a million ahead as England paid him up until the world cup, and his first 8 month million sorts him out for best year. Rennie had managed to gather up a team from a rabble, and was forming a team, beat Bokke, narrow losses to France and Ireland, would have beaten New Zealand if they had have kicked the ball out. Arfu bought it all on themselves, the schadenfreude is strong. Until they drop to 3 competitive super rugby sides they will drift. And we need a strong Australia.

The B team flogged us😂. Man I love your content! From a South African fan. Get Hooper straight back into the squad! Lot of work for Aus to be done before 2027.

Absolutely love this rant, super passionate but also very true. Eddie Jones has had his day, his dictatorial methods are out of date, he can afford to resign because he is still getting paid from England....He is definitely on his way to Japan after a holiday.

Great passion Wildcard ! Support Australia 🇦🇺!

Rugby Australia owes Dave Rennie a massive apology.

i hope the wallabies can turn this around and give everyone a good fright in four years. somethin somethin in the face of adversity somethin. now really is the time to show some character and just aim to play for pride again.

I dont think wildkard likes eddie jones for some reason😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 PURE RAGE in his face for most of the video

As a Sa fan, your frustration is warranted. I loved watching super12 and tri nations and the great competitive rivalry, hope ARU can get its affairs sorted out sooner than later

The use of the word 'era' is incorrect with regard to Jones' time in charge.

Eish! Sorry OZ, you guys will bounce back. Love from 4x World Champs. We need you guys back in form.

On the Carter Gordon "I'm the only fly half" point. Totally agree. France brought Romain NTamack at 20 yrs of age last RWC but still he had an experienced back up ! And truth be told Romain did win a u20 RWC while playing in Toulouse. So... yeah Eddie, you can't do THAT sort of funny stuff without a back up if your youngster "struggles" at a such key position

Love your passion From a AB supporter 🎉

Oh boy boy boy I can't wait for this

Well bud, judging by his run with Australia, you're better off. The boks were at rock bottom in 2018 and they've won 2 world cups and a lion's series since then. I'm sure the Aussies wil turn things around. Onward and upward.

I will always remember Jones as a guy who became the greatest example of a hero turned villain after he led Japan to their famous WC victory over South Africa, the only time in their history they achieved this, before coming to England. I just don't know what the hell happened that led to it, but he had become so arrogant over the 6-7 seasons he was in charge of them. It's gas to think I once admired him but whenever I see him on the news, I switch to a different channel straightaway. The things he said, the conduct he made of himself, I thought to myself, 'Has any other coach ever acted that way?' He often came across like the Jose Mourinho of rugby. And here he is now. He has endured quite possibly the biggest fall from grace in the history of the sport. Very, very few people in the sport have collapsed more than he has. He was a great once; now he is great at one thing. Being a complete joke.

i agree on the Japan talent poaching, when i was in high school , the richest schools bought out the best young tallent from surounding schools and we would still play vs our friends and it would suck.

Wildkard fired up!!!

I totally agree with what you said about rugby in Japan, it just ruins rugby all over the world, players go there and become shadows of their former selves.

I love your passion bud

Dude this might be a blessing for Australia so you can only move forward from here

Just started watching your videos. Good content tbh.

MaClennan should fall on his sword as well. EJ tore the team apart and fed the young Wallabies to the lions, that's no way to build a team.

Love the passion and the rage! Release the beast 😂

What a brilliant, passionate, hilarious post. Many thanks 😊

So much love between you and Eddie Jones! 😂

There are a number of good young players in the Australian team who were poorly coached and poorly led. If Hooper and a few older heads had been in the team, the latter issue would have been fixed, and they would not have folded easily against teams like Fiji and Wales. As a kiwi, utmost respect for Hooper, he has been your consistently world-class player for the last decade, and one guy I wish we had in the AB's, but dont know what we would have done with both him and McCaw. Obviously a class person also. That young guy Bell in the front row has a big future. Don't write-off Carter Gordon, he has some promising skills, but should never have been taken as the lone specialist first five. I think the real struggle going forward is going to be depth, and restoring confidence in some of these guys. And it is going to take a coach with balls to pick this lot up. Could try Jamie Joseph. Hopefully your administrators don't spend all the money on league guys.

Eddie Jones is no Wayne Bennett Wildkard!

The part about Eddie complaining changes didn't happen during the 10 months he was there: when he first took over.the England job he complained he didn't have the same control he would have had had England had a central contract system like Ireland or NZ RFU reigned him in and told him to work within.the system

@Wildkard could you do a tier rating of the matches in the world cup? Just a thought, the final isn't always the best game. I appreciate that this would be a lot of effort.

Fuck I feel your pain, Thanks for sayinh and being Real.

You were right again.

Keep up the videos man, who knows an opportunity might come your way in the future 🎉

All the other companies may be investigated too wouldn’t that be a treat?

Eish mate! I hear and feel your pain. Eddie and the Stormers...you know he signed to be Head coach in 2015 and England came knocking 🙄 and that was that.

I feel for Hooper the most in this whole saga. Who will come in next to pull RAus out of the fire?

Hey Wildcard you da man!😂 Finally someone with the balls to tell it like it is. Eddie and his mates at ARU did the dirty on Dave Rennie just when he was building something worthwhile leading into the World Cup. Eddie’s a sly rat 🐀 and a bully to anyone that questions him. Would love to see you at one of his press conferences. Go hard bro 😎 the game needs straight talkers like you.

Australia the World needs a strong Australian rugby team ! Hope you come back with a bang and show the world what you’re made of ! I have nothing but respect for the players , Hooper is a legend ! I’am a Bok supporter and a Southern Hemisphere supporter to a fault ! ABs and Australia I will support before any Northern hemisphere! Stay strong Australia !

Wildcard, Eddie Jones leaving is a good thing, Rugby Australia can now pick and choose who you want from the likes of; Ian Foster, Joe Schmidt, Dan McKellar, Steven Larkham. Andy Friend. 🤔 Which one will they wanna pick?

As an expat Kiwi, bro I can't fault anything you brought up.. F%$k Eddie.. man, he should have stuck by his words then build it.... ABz coach Stu Foster stuck it out after a low last 18months for nz all blacks rugby, stayed on and made the RWC final and was 2pts away from winning it.. if Eddie was a strait up c=$t , he'd do the same and prove everyone wrong.. unfortunately he proved all of us here in Straya.. Fukn Right!!.. keep it up brutha great content great passion bro...

16:18 100% spot on Feng !!!

It will be alright man.

Wildkard. You are a true rugby man. You are welcome to stay at me when you come to South Africa.

To be fair Samoa Japan and Argentina all had a chance to get out of the pool so there were 3 teams for one spot But your criticism.about the lax visa policy of the top league has a point Problem tho is that rugby as a professional sports is a small fish in an ocean so cant go too hard on someone willing to hand out money to players

What was Jones's record the first time he coached the Wallabies?

Enjoyed the rant

Despite your anti Irish past content so glad for the wild card, we need more like you here in oz
