Why oh why oh why is Deans persisting with Phipps?

He was absolute dogshit against French. I only saw 60 mins & got told after that Sheehan didn't even get a run? WTF?

Deans has got to be the most pathetically useless manager of the bench in Wallabies history!

The Rugby Championship & NH Tour has showed the gulf in class between S15's & Test level..... Several Wallabies have been found out!

[Rex Messup]

Phipps is a joke for rugby supporters that rugby coaches don't get

He should have been hooked after 10 minutes last week he was so bad...........and he should have been dropped

[Tazzmania]

Agree he should have been taken off, we needed the mongrel Sheehan shows.

Rumour has it Phipps may be a future son in law of Deans, would explain the unexplainable, ie Why Sheehan never even got onto the park.

[sittingbison]

They frakked up the bench again, just like in JoBurg. They had a 6/2 split, but used all six backs to give the fat lazy Tahs forwards a breather, and so they couldn't use Sheehan when Phipps was completely losing the plot (mind you he should have been hooked before the 20min mark when the passes were over the head or along the ground to nobody)

I'm praying/hoping that Barnes doesn't start that bloody aimless kicking! And if I see Beale do 1 more chip kick I'm gonna throw a large heavy object at the telly! Please let there be a god and they've actually thought up a game plan for once.

Game plan A Barnes kicks
Game plan B Beale kicks

Please surprise me. The thought of all those gloating texts and phone calls all night and Sunday morning.

I imagine there will be some jovial friendly banter from the English gentlemen directed his way....

[Rex Messup]

Rex is excited

For the first time in a long time, an Australian backline has menace

McCabe out (shame - I hope it isn't serious), Tapui to 12 who can break the line, step and even unload
AAC to 13 - his best position in my opinion
Ioane in - can open up a defence
Harris out - he's not a 15

Australia by plenty

[westies man]

Well said ,some positive talk for a change.It's not a secret the wallabies are struggling and they need support, not get the crap bagged out of them all the time.

"We used to transport the vicious scum of our prisons to Orztrayleeah, the cheeky sods are sending them back"

"Look, there's Rocky Bealboa"

etc

And hopefully responded to with "Hold on a sec guys, I'll give the ABs a call and see if they can spare you another midget to amuse yourselves with..."
