By Online Editors

“Holy tomorrow, how good!”

Former Wallaby Nick Cummins is officially Australia’s Bachelor, with the season kicking off down under two weeks ago.

Now lovingly referred to as the Honey Badgelor, 30-year-old Cummins – made famous by his trademark catch-phrases and viral post-match interviews – has swapped his boots for a bouquet of roses as he tries to find his soulmate.

The season trailer released last week gives fans a glimpse of the action to come during the season as the winger endeavors to bag a different kind of meat pie.

In the trailer Cummins describes himself as someone who is “committed, fiercely loyal, and he’ll fight for love.”

Before Cummins’ appearance on the show was officially announced, a source told Australia’s Woman’s Day “he’s going to be great for the franchise. Funny, witty, with a huge cult following. This is a stroke of genius for the network.” The season premiere had close to one million overnight viewers.

On the field, Cummins made 87 appearances for the Western Force between 2008 and 2015, and represented Australia on 15 occasions.

Why the Wallabies won't be following the Springboks' rush defence under Schmidt

You forget this is Rassie Erasmus who is still holding the Springbok keys. Even with Felix Jones orchestrating a really tight RWC SF last year. It still wasn't enough to get England past their particular Springbok Monkey in world cups. The reason is FJ was going off of what they did in 2019 not necessarily adapting to current Springboks. So yes, Australia can get passed England because let's be honest, England have a one track strategy, Springboks do not. Even with rush defense I wouldn't be surprised if Rassie continually tweaks it. Also bear in mind Rassie is happy to sacrifice a few mid year and inter World Cup matches to pin point how opposition plays and how to again tweak strategies to get his Springboks in peak performance for the next World Cup. As much as most teams like to win games in front of them and try to win everything, Rassie always makes sure to learn and train for the greatest showdown International Rugby has to offer. Tbh, most people remember World Cup wins and ignore intermediate losses as a result but will remember also WC losses, Ireland, even if they won games in the interim. So even if games are won against the Springboks, it's likely Rassie is just getting a feel for how opposition is moving and adapt accordingly…in time. For Rassie, a loss is never a loss because he uses it as a chance to learn and improve. Sometimes during a game, again like the England match in last year's Semi Final.
