If you take Stephen Larkham out of the 10 jersey for that generation . I'm ABs like you , Eales was solid . Larkham could slice us open. He had a knack of getting them out of trouble when they needs it. George Smith is someone else who could really play .
As an Australian born Irish Maori, I hope the Wallabies can do the grand slam. Will be awesome for The Lions build up. I hope Joe Schmidt rejoins the ABs coaching team in 2026.
I remember being in Oz watching a state of origin game. Wendell Sailor, from memory, was being given heaps from the crowd because he played for both sides during his career. He was giving back too the crowd revving them up. Just brilliant
@@why8793 I think he's referring to when he went to rugby and played for the Tahs against the Reds in front of a Qld crowd at Suncorp and was riling them up. There's an iconic clip of him gesturing for them to shout louder and give him more.
Your point about Suaalii and him bringing unpredictably to the centre is spot on, it's what the Allblacks don't have, Reiko AlB and Jordie are so predictable, I believe once Allblacks sort their midfield out they will be unreal. Narawa should be in the team
Agree re Reiko is poor now. I notice he never links with the wings, never passes the ball. ALB is steady but nothing better. Jordi is OK. He makes breaks, great defender and line kicking great -he get a pass from me. Id like to see Billy Proctor in at centre. He has great feet, good feeder to the wings, good defender, high work rate. I believe that Blues coach (forget his name) took the attacking flair from Telia and Reiko to their detriment .Telia has got his back now but it took most of a season. The Blues were using him as an extra loose forward
The Kerevi tackle was a yellow card, everyday of the week. As a fan, I hope the 20minute red card rule doesn’t create a new problem where the refs or tmo’s refer every questionable yellow as a red. Enjoy the podcast lads👍🏽 Go the Wallabies 👊🏽💯
I'm a hearty AB's supporter but Guv is my favourite scrum half of all time! Hated him playing against my boys but I would pick him over any scrum half Past/Future or Present! His IQ is just bonkers 🤯 and the absolute masterful pest 😂
Love the pod, missed the energy of the other aussie guy. Agree on the All Blacks not doing the 1 percenters, yet. More time, more cohesion and killer instinct required... not far off? Australia are back to there best, Argentina hat wonderful. I’d still like to see NZ open up eligiblity, like SA and Argentina...then we’d be even more lethal.
Greegs and Marshy like old times As a wallabies fan just hope they can give Joe a solid performance against the Scotts He definitely had a brain old Greggs A good watch
It blows my mind that they are all about no head knocks but yet they haven't made head gear composure. As for players not wearing it its a vanity thing because you watch club rugby and a fair feiw players wear it but once they get on the telly suddenly no one wears it.
There's no evidence to suggest head gear does anything for headknocks as it's the brain moving inside skull hitting the sides that causes cte. Infact most experts say headgear gives a false sense of safety causing the player to go harder with no proven extra protection.
Doesn’t want to comment on which commentators was driving him nuts, but drops that he was in the UK… 😂 100% agree! The commentators on TNT for the English tests were the most biased I’ve ever heard - was brutal to listen to. Thats coming from a neutral for some of the tests. I would take my team losing every time instead of listening to that again
The head clash fowl plays are ridiculous. So what they've done is reduced the tackle height so any accidental head clash is an auto YC but as a consequence blokes are getting KO'd for dropping their heads into contact. So what's it going to be now?
It appears odd now, but i believe. France will Win the next RWC Trophy.❤ The Love of Rugby & Passion in French Rugby is Building & so far, its looking pretty darn good.❤
Always hated on the wallabies growing up because this fula was way too good. Then we dominated them for so long i felt bad for them and now hope they continue to perform well under Joe.

Australia beat the worst Welsh team in history and an England team with the worst defence in world rugby and the arrogance returns in spades. Oh flower of Scotland.......

Gregan and Marshall - fantastic!
Gregan was great, really interesting comments. Marshall is just twitching and boasting ego. Whats the twitching about?
Gregs looks like he hasn’t aged a day… what a Wallaby he was 🔥
It's the 👴🙄
As a Taumarunui born Maori boy,now living in Oz , I always new the Wallabies would come back,so proud for them 👍
imo Gregan or john eels are the greatest players to come out of Australia. being an ALL Blacks fan those two always found a way to break hearts
If you take Stephen Larkham out of the 10 jersey for that generation . I'm ABs like you , Eales was solid . Larkham could slice us open. He had a knack of getting them out of trouble when they needs it. George Smith is someone else who could really play .
Great quality chat with George.

Ireland v Aussie should be good and I would not have said that three weeks ago
So you’re a Lion Red Guinness 🍺
@@dougsaunders8109 Aussie vs Ireland will be 1000 times better if they beat Scotland first.
Kiwi Māori here and I'm backing them. First time ever 😂😂
@@SBW_85👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😅😅😅
Great to hear from George- really affable, articulate and some great stories and insight
I remember being in Oz watching a state of origin game. Wendell Sailor, from memory, was being given heaps from the crowd because he played for both sides during his career. He was giving back too the crowd revving them up. Just brilliant
Which two sides?
@@why8793 Maybe cos he played for the NSW Tahs in rugby union 🤔

Gregan played 400 years ago and looks pretty much the same.
😂 just looking at him gives me the shivers lol. Not even this dupont or whoever can do what he did down under.

Joey Manu could be the answer at centre for the world cup
Think Razor will put Faingaanuku at 13 when he comes back next year
Come on Aussie come on. From across the ditch I'm lovin it.😅🤣😂🥰😍🤩
Great show guys! Thanks
Really miss these two rugby all time greats.Remember all the hard times they gave the Springboks.🇿🇦
great pod. Keep the studio design look when you get back home lads...love it
Great show as always
Would have loved to see Joost vd Westhuizen sit on the couch, properly the 3 best 3 9's that ever played against each other
RIP to Joost van der W from NZ
George was a menace but damn that’s a Wallaby legend right there. From a Kiwi 👊🏽
Gregan, one of my favourite players. Great show.
World cup winner George Gregan, and Justin are like Ying and Yang.
George, as a NZ er you might be surprised to learn that at this very moment your book “Half Back, Half Forward” is sitting on my bedside table.
Would love to hear marshal v Gregan battles
Wallabies are going to be force again as Bok fan
The Kerevi tackle was a yellow card, everyday of the week. As a fan, I hope the 20minute red card rule doesn’t create a new problem where the refs or tmo’s refer every questionable yellow as a red.

cant be glad enough for aussies great comeback long may it continue 😮😮😮😮😮ng
I'm a hearty AB's supporter but Guv is my favourite scrum half of all time! Hated him playing against my boys but I would pick him over any scrum half Past/Future or Present! His IQ is just bonkers 🤯 and the absolute masterful pest 😂

Head gear doesn’t stop brain injury’s
There's no evidence to suggest head gear does anything for headknocks as it's the brain moving inside skull hitting the sides that causes cte. Infact most experts say headgear gives a false sense of safety causing the player to go harder with no proven extra protection.

Thorn sounds like a major uplifting gym partner!
Head to head cards / surely the ball carrier is part of the tackle .
Justin marshall the southland swede😮

Always hated on the wallabies growing up because this fula was way too good. Then we dominated them for so long i felt bad for them and now hope they continue to perform well under Joe.
Come on Aussie. Get up again.
Some good stories & yarns but will George now have to wait another 4 years before coming back on...
Haha thought I must be getting really old as no one had mentioned it
Austin Healy winding you up with the commentary eh? 😂
Champ has a different meaning in Australian prisons. Thats the origin of the horse’s name
The nz commentators seemed to think the scrum time limit was meant to be in force.
They're looking at the tackler for the high tackle. They can penalise the ball carrier too. You can't duck into a tackle so look at both players.
SNAYman, not SNIman.
Remember they weren't far off winning matches before Eddie got hold of them !!!
I would rather have a sister on the streets then run a straight line at Peter Ryan.

The kiwi boys are butchering the name "Sua'ali'i" lol

Good Europe tour for all southern Hemisphere country Australian and
south Africa 2/3 Argentina 2/3 fiji 2/3
new Zealand 3/5 last games this weekend

2/3 not bad results for all away games
you all can be happy as well your country

who can not wait for there team to play earlier in the morning for me I want to thank France for the respect the way that
France it's player and it's country men and
the way the organization preparation for the big night of RUGBY that to me France
rugby takes both cultures to the heart
regardless knowing of the respect to the
country that has its own culture with in a
culture of world rugby the two spotlights
the both anthems the France colours the
crowd when the haka was performed all
blacks laid down the challenge how the
crowd and its France team approach with
silence but knowing it's on once the whistle blow best rugby night game that
France put on for any opposition a country
that knows it's place in world rugby and a
respect for a old rivalry the all blacks best
game of the autumn series by far the game it self was massive and the best team won FRANCE 🇫🇷 congratulations
beautiful night ,great game, best host
country in the WORLD GOD BLESS
How about learning to pronounce Suaalii proper. It's a name you're likely to repeat over and over again the coming years gents.
It's levioooosah, not leviosahhhhhh
Shooooshh nobody cares
Marshall just arrogant
Wait until Ming the Merciless gets ahold of that pronunciation!!
It’s literally all kiwis have.
Country is a farmer field without rugby
whats a farmer field?
This dude looks the same. Get on the field mate
The Kerevi tackle was a yellow card, everyday of the week. As a fan, I hope the 20minute red card rule doesn’t create a new problem where the refs or tmo’s refer every questionable yellow as a red.
