Junior Wallabies confirm side for must-win pool clash with England

He’s then surrounded himself with young, callow coaches. That might work at club level where you might be allowed a season or two for it to bed in, but not at this level.

He’s inability to hang onto those with experience (Jones and Walters) doesn’t bode well.

Hence why Aled Walters was so instrumental to the Boks.

Hence why the Bombsquad was forged too - the ability to field close on two packs over 80 and replacing 5 of them in one moment - became part and parcel of the Blitz approach.

I questioned at the time England players' committment to the system as it is no walk in the park.

I suspect that neither Felix nor Aled were getting the full buy-in and support from the players. And that contributed to the "working environment" claims.

Steven Kitshchoff's recent comment about England's fitness hit the nail on the head for me. They're not fit enough to make it work.

Also, they core group of older players all recently got paid upfront in their new sweet deal contracts... Now they're lazy too.

He launched into the year about the ABs being back this year. For a "journalist" his opinions are based on the flavour of the month.

He's at least gone quiet about how sh1t the boks actually are. Although I suspect he's working on an outrageous article to that effect as we speak, to drive engagement after the end of the Autumn series, as we'll all be taking a break until the 6N. Reading his drivel in between extended periods of alcohol and mince pie consumption, and low grade depression related to the lack of international rugby. Leading to more alcohol and mince pies.

Sounds like you're describing your arch-nemesis Ben 😁
