Absolutely, he is entitled to his opinion, the ARU are a bunch ofYeah, poor, misunderstood Izzy, he's clearly the victim here.
s and so is anybody that agrees with them..
I saw a bit of it what a mess haven’t watched in years, scrums and line outs a mess too many penalties scrappy all the same trash.
Wallabies were shocking.
Wobblies played like they have for years.....badly
Its a RUNNING game and the wobblies keep playing it like the FORWARDS are the only option since Campese retired and they sacked Izzy because a certain sponsor got hurt feelings.
Their lineouts, scrums and constant poor kicking game has been woeful or inept at best for years.
Someone tried to make the wobblies look good by saying they pressured the Poms into making a lot tackles while they only had to make a lot less.
The reason for that is two fold.......
- they let in a lot more points so didn't have to make as many or couldn't make as many tackles
- The wobbly style of using the forwards repeatedly to gain small amounts of field position means the opposition make s a lot more tackles.
- you have no faith in your back line
- you give the opposition more opportunity to score.
Same old same old with this WC: you watch the AB's and it is like they are playing a different sport. The ease with which they put the much-fancied Irish to the sword was impressive.England will have to be much better than they have been so far to make any impression. Still, they have lost before...
I read the electronic news of the game this morning.
It read that England beat the Allblacks with a very good game plan from their Aussie "super coach" only nowhere in the story did they mention the coach.
It can only be good for the game for some other sides to be in a final besides the Kiwis.

I was losing the will to live watching that Boks/Wales game. Dismal stuff from both sides, and not even well-executed in its own terms.
I reckon they shoud make an offer to Izzy - pay up - and forget about him and it !
Cheaper in the long term/run.
