Eddie Jones will be doing well to make the World Cup at this rate.
Good a try as Iāve ever seen.
Aussies were good. Kiwis were brilliant.
Youād get the impression Ireland could once again struggle to get past the World Cup quarter-finals.
We got a hateful draw
He hasnāt provided the Cadbury Wallabies with much of a new manager bounce.
They got a fair hammering today but they showed some signs of improvement. The all blacks scored majority of points in two flurries as they tend toā¦their draw gives them a chance in WC they will improve as it goes along ā¦lacking real quality at half back
Didnāt see it, but the likes of Quade Cooper wasnāt the answer years ago. I wouldnt be surprised if it winds up being James OāConnor or Bernard Foley at 10. Foley is pretty steady.
You would have expected Eddie Jones to provide the Cadbury Wallabies with a Boost, but so far his tenure has been no Picnic. The World Cup will be the Crunchie test however.
Handy little double NZ -18/Argie +18.
Argies are going to cause trouble at the world cup.
They usually do of late.
Oztralia turn down the early look at the posts - Korobeite denied by the chalk there? Not so

Aussies are coming to the boil. Still lacking that class at half back I think but Eddie will get a tune out of them for the wc I think alright
Greet win for Argentina over New Zealand in Wellington.
Lot of work ahead for Joe Schmidt. South Africa hammered Australia 7-33 in Brisbane.
