Oz rugby wasn't alone in making knee jerk decisions ...

Getting rid of Eddie from England was not far behind..as an England fan.

Dave Rennie is an awesome coach! He was not treated well!

Shame on the ARU for kicking Rennie out on his arse. Eddie is clown 🤡

He's a big dissapointing - could not get Vunivalu going, playing a 50/50 test and pushing up daisies - that's all about him, EJ is the new coach now.

ABSOLUTELY mate - get a Tongan team going they are more parochial, the most in the world.

My only fear is that Drua could be removed because of the impact they are having on the Fijian national team. The Pacific teams playing well could mean they become a threat to the bigger tier 1 teams that may not be desirable for them.

@@shailal5316 so out of context...

Make your own comp🤣

@@shailal5316 yeah you're right I never understood why would idiots at nz and Australia create more competition for themselves

Well said!! This is Eddie building and guiding this young Aussie team to greatness, slowly but surely. More 'surely' than slow, i think! 💪👍🏉

He’s a real clown 🤡 Here’s some comments about Eddie Jones from John Connelly (ex wallabies coach that took over coaching from 2006-2007 with a 64% win record vs Eddie Jones record from 2001-2005 of 57.89% win record): Eddie Jones is a a 'charlatan'. John Connolly succeeded Jones when the outspoken rugby coach left his post as Wallabies coach in 2006, having guided the Aussies over a four-year spell. Jones went on to coach the Japanese and English national teams before making a return to the Wallabies earlier this year, but after losing to South Africa and Argentina in his first two games in charge, Connolly fears the appointment is a backwards step. 'How did we end up with Eddie again? He is full of it. He talks a great game but plays a terrible one,' Connolly, who labelled the comeback a 'bloody disaster', told the Telegraph 'He is a charlatan, he is a failed selector. He was the captain's pick by the chairman who just came into the job. When I took over from Eddie, the players were like beaten down sheepdogs. If you walked in a room they would have their heads down and were scared to do anything. 'There was no leadership. There was no development. It was a total void that took nearly a year to rebuild. I can't believe we have made the same mistake again.'

How long is this going to take. Australia has gone down hill since they got rid of Dave Rennie

@@bruceanderson1471 Bring back Rennie

Yeah right. This petulant little man will be sacked before then.

First time I have ever seen Fiji playing a real Test since beating France in 2021? They kicked goals to win! Unbelievable, love this team. Its all about POWER now, hoping to see some Fijian flair in the next 2 games - now that we have POWER.

Apologise to him? Folau is the one that didn’t keep his work agreement.

@@poeravathis is bigger than an agreement.

@@Dummypass No. No it’s not. I had a work colleague posting their beliefs about Covid not existing at our clinical practice. It mentions in our work agreement that we can’t do that. Sorry bud. It’s not rocket science. No matter how much one beleives they have a friend in the sky.

Probably not

Amen

Yep it's the best part

That was an arrogant comment to say that he took the blame. It’s not about him. He’s an egotistical moron. His acceptance of losing is an underhanded attempt at being a martyr when it’s about the team, not him. He’s an absolute clown 🤡

The players lost the game he's the coach.....how much coaching do they need..

And then proceeded blaming players

@@Nat-oj2uc Exactly

Yes, after halfway through.

EJ's card up his many sleeves

sound cuts out could it be the swearing MATE😆😉

You serious. He's a little sook and tosser. Rennie would have had the Wallabies in a lot better form for this WC. Rugby Australia are idiots for getting rid of him.

Sure....but not a coach....

Extraordinary observations, none of the above were on display. Go have your ears checked ...

​@@rorykeegan1895Come on man you're just as delusional as Eddie. I'm a Wallabies supporter but I'm at the point where I feel Eddie has finally cracked, like in his mind 😭

The unfortunate reality is that Eddie is doing the Wallabies no favors by coming across so unlikable. People start hoping for a loss... 😢

Yeah he's gotten so bad now the reporters are almost afraid to ask him a question....hence the many pauses. Sarcasm and rattiness are his go to cards now

Self entitled fool, sarcastic wannabe who destroys all who listen to him.

It's always going to be a hostile crowd when you're a tier 1 team vs a tier 2 team in a rwc. Nothing they can do about it

@@EGM534 aggree, a real rugby supporter and lover will always support the smaller teams as the game as a whole gets stronger when more teams can compete. No one wants one or two teams bossing everyone.

Mate you need help

I hope so. 😊

I really think Oz will beat us, they seem to have the wood on Wales.

​@@gwynevans6440Cymru appear less disfuncional and more like a team. Australia seem more like a group of individuals. Wales by 12.

Its evident

😂 😂… South Africa were the weakest nation in Super Rugby. THREE measly titles in TWENTY FIVE YEARS of attempts!!! No wonder they went and found an easier competition to play in… I would have too if I was being embarrassed like that year after year

Relax bro..this is one of the weakest Australian teams coming into a World Cup. This is not a reflection on super rugby but of eddie picking the wrong players to bring to a World Cup.

Nz beat the boks for rugby championship, only lost when it didnt matter, we will see how well boks do with ireland.

@@ablewilling2778the lack of exposure to South Africa clearly diluted the performance and abilities of NZ and Aus. And it will not get better any soon. Northern hemisphere competition is much tougher than the acrobatic high school SuperRugby. It is evident it in the performance and rankings of the Northern Hemisphere teams. If you deny this, you do not know rugby and are a fool.

Amen

To bloody right mate !!

nothing's impossible but Italy will have to play out of their skins to beat abs

Yes, and everyone loves miracles too. The sad thing is that they rarely happen though.😂😅

agree@@rovekid1

Japan beating the Boks in 2015 but your right its rare.@@user-wy4xn1vc7w

Italy has a chance always, everyone does it’s a new era in the game everyone can beat everyone

Robbie who? mate where is he now coaching Ireland??? - EJ the best coach Aussies have.

No matter who coaches the wallabies they will always struggle in rugby, the grass root systems just aren't there and the participation in the game is also lacking in Australia they love other sports more cricket,league,aussie rules,soccer,Australian rugby doesn't have the caliber or the depth of players needed to be competitive in a RWC for Australian standards,weakest wallabies team ever to participate in a RWC😮

Fiji are a handful..

Australia were shocking bad....,I can't see them beating Wales...

@@philippians4194 🤡 we can help Fiji go through.

Sounds fair to me

He's contradicting himself saying they still can do well at this WC and then talks how they're preparing for next WC. Imagine how confused players are being around that tosser all the time

They need to stop saying they are getting ready for the next world cup that’s crap, play well now or another 20,000 supports in Australia will walk away from rugby

Same as at any other moment. Some stupid gibberish lol. Don't sweat it

@@Nat-oj2uc thanks for replying 😺

No one remembers JC but EJ is far more experienced and have won more games in the WC - compare that!. Of course when you take over as a new coach you will rebuild the team and to blame the last coach says more about you as a leader than the previous one.

@@DT7w8 Firstly, no. Not every coach blames the last coach. So there’s that. Secondly, I remember him. He was a brilliant coach. Oh and he wasn’t fired too. Or a clown in the media. The key metric of success as a coach is if the players respect and appreciate you as a coach. This is well documented and researched across all codes. They wallabies players themselves said these things about Jones and how he was up himself and cared about himself more than the team. You don’t see this in his comments in the media? Making it about him. He’s an absolutely clown and the ARU are a pack of crooks to keep him on. Also people that spoke out against his selfish style is Japanese management, the England management and the current Australian management that left not long after he came on. He’s an arrogant, narcissistic spoiled brat. I don’t think this is disputed. I mean he was bagging English players out in the media about how their upbringing and how he thinks that’s why they don’t worship the ground he walks on. See a pattern here? John Connelly had a better winning record and more respect from the players. I don’t think you need to clutch for straws and say that Eddie’s winning record at world cups makes him less of an a$$ hole. Did you hear his comment to the media about ‘kicking a dead man’? Do you think he is referring to himself? The team, or just A general sentiment about how when you lose your like a dead man? How do you think this makes the players respect their coach? I think he needs to spend a bit more time with the teams 3 psychologists. The pay of one Australian players probably pays for the entire Fijian teams budget for the World Cup. Oh and then there’s the fact that you just lost to Fiji. So there’s that.

He's a petulant rude little man. This flog will be sacked within a year.

Grow up son.

@@stevenbissett facts are always hurtful, debate the fact

Lol

Interesting that when you cannot defend the fact, policy or action taken they always throw nasty little comments about the person who highlights the fact. But hey when you are desperate anything will do to hide from the truth

Are you on meds of some kind? Maybe too much whoopy has scrambled the noggin. 😂😅😂

Utter rubbish.

He will be a great player one day but he is so underprepared for test rugby he needed someone like Quade Cooper to guide him

Lack of support doesn’t drop 5 balls

Gordon is not a 10 imo as compared to Cooper or Foley. He's too tall and clumsy and has no finesse doesn't create or see the space or gaps for his back line

@@krazynz 100% right -so under prepared - poor bugger - hung out to dry,

Nah he needs to check his head

As a fijian I would say that Eddie is doing a great job, dispite the loss to Fiji.. He is building a great Young Wallabies team for the future.. 💛💚

Eddies "calibre" has been the root cause :-)

@@JoeTheLion60 there is a lack of player talent and depth. He can only work with what he has.

He went to England because Wallabies didn't want him, and then they had him back 😊

@@greyhamlogan2255 wallabies have the best training facilities in the world. Access to everything they need to be world beaters. Unfortunately the players are not role models and do not inspire kids to play the game which already competes with other codes. This started in the early 2000 after the success in the 1990’s and was not properly addressed by Rugby Australia . Not enough players of quality. Also throwing the South African teams out of super rugby was a mistake. Many factors.

lol. It was a pathetic performance by Aussie
