Bledisloe Cup/The Rugby Championship

Eddie Jones will be doing well to make the World Cup at this rate.

Good a try as Iā€™ve ever seen.

Aussies were good. Kiwis were brilliant.

Youā€™d get the impression Ireland could once again struggle to get past the World Cup quarter-finals.

We got a hateful draw

He hasnā€™t 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

Didnā€™t see it, but the likes of Quade Cooper wasnā€™t the answer years ago. I wouldnt be surprised if it winds up being James Oā€™Connor 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.

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

:+1:

Greet win for Argentina over New Zealand in Wellington.

Lot of work ahead for Joe Schmidt. South Africa hammered Australia 7-33 in Brisbane.
