Typical ozzies ,its all R.Deans fault that theres no good quality talant being produced in Australia.All his fault that players are out of form. or get injured When just when will ozzies take responabilty for their own short commings .5 years i give Australia 2-3 being in the top 5 then dropping down the rakings to be between 10-15 .Only thing thatys going to stop it is more and more non australian players playing for them on residancy grounds ,5 of 15 atm and imo going to rise even more and quicker in the comming years .Given the resources R.Deans has to play with imho his done a fantastic job of keeping Australia 2nd atm in the IRB rankings,but even great coaches cant keep teams punching above their wieght indefinatly.

Georgesmith,
I am unsure if you can blame Robbie for your players lack of form this season, also, can you blame him for your countrys inability to produce props.
But I suppose is easier than looking at yourselves????
he was the best coaching option available to you when he was appointed, and at that stage you had not had the bledisloe for some time.
Robbie was a very sucessful coach over here.

D. Dennis has been anything but great this season. R. Deans is so myopic. He has just lost everything. He has n measure of player's performances. How can anyone say D. Dennis had a great season.
But he has potential. He is tall and big. Let's see if he can make us of the physical presence. I say send R. Deans back to Kiwiland if Wallabies lose.
