Eddie Jones copping it from everywhere makes for great reading today.
Eddie Jones copping it from everywhere makes for great reading today.
He spent about a year here being a revered cross-discipline management guru, then has gradually fallen out of favour until the point (now) when everyone thinks he's a smug twat.
I don't follow domestic union all that closely, but I keep reading that he's a bit stuck in his ways as far as overlooking certain people/having his favourites goes, so if the idea is that he's a short-term coach then you could just shuffle everything around him.
Continuing to pick Saracens players while they're getting gubbed by the Cornish seems an odd choice.

That's up there with the worst team names.
Did they come up with the logo first and base the team around it?
Enjoying the naming history of their league mates, the Austin Gilgronis.
On 19 September 2019 after extensive polling at the end of the 2019 campaign, the team opted to rename itself the Herd. The logo remained the same although the orange color action was removed indicating a shift away from using orange for the upcoming season. Prior to the 2020 season, the team came under new ownership and were renamed the Gilgronis. The new name was immediately met with derision and mockery.
Koroibete off to Japan then France I assume to cement his best winger in the world ranking.
Easily the best Australian winger from either code for the last 20 years at least.

Let's not forget Australian international Semi Radradra.
I can't really think of who the best wingers have been. They either move to fullback, play for Melbourne and never have to do any defending, or are Brett Morris. Maybe it's Brett Morris.
Super League back tomorrow.
Saints vs Salford and then Leigh vs Wigan. Should be a good start.
I'm a twit
There arent any good highlight packages of Koroibete on youtube. Outside of his world class finishing he is a very good defender, he always makes metres as an extra brackrow runner running at forwards and he never loses the ball in contact.
Vunivalu will be the next bloke we talk about at the end of the year. His defense needs a lot of work atm moment though.
Another bloke that deserves a better highlight package. He would be a nice get for the Broncos. Always pops up at the right place righr time.

With the exception of early expansion efforts the squad Leigh have cobbled together is possibly the worst in Super League history, and they're doing the weird points system again, so the only things to look forward to are Greg Inglis and Kyle Eastmond. If he does the business Leeds could be quite dangerous.
Daniel Tupou is probably up there for wingers actually. If his career has coincided with less shit New South Wales teams he would probably have had more Australia caps.
How was that not a forward pass before that yellow? Do they just not give a fuck about it at all in rugby?
Not really, no.
That was another forward pass before that try. What is this shambles
He should be off for that.
Tame effort from the French. Little unlucky with Scotland's first try.
It was a high tackle and he clearly hit his shoulder first. What a mess rugby is
France.
What was that
Scotland really should have won the whole thing.
How incredibly French of them.
I love this Scotland team. So many fantastic moments.
Where would they have ended up if they didn’t lose by one point to Wales?
Exactly. Very Scottish.
Every country managed to perform exactly to stereotype this year, which is what we all wanted.
Scotland don't beat us in any other year, France in Paris, and so on. This is as good as it gets for them.
Im looking forward to the French series this winter. If those buggers dont show up this new generation of Wobblies are capable of racking up points very quickly.
Ah okay. Yeah if they'd beat Wales by 1 game point then 4 points to Scotland and 4 off Wales, so they'd have won it by 3 points ahead of France/Wales.
Wales winning that, and now being all smug about it, has to go down as one of the bigger robberies in modern sporting history.
Scotland probably were the best side.
Broncos
@Lewis
Yeah, but, like you said, Scotland. As with Newcastle, expecting anything only leads to misery so you take what you get and enjoy what you can. Breeds the best fans too.
You had me until the last sentence. The Ashley years have really, really bled out the "We should be top 6!" brigade.
You probably know better as you're in the city but I haven't seen much of that.
Scotland are a better tean than the current Wallabies
What a chancer.
