Uncapped Brumby replaces injured Coleman for Twickenham clash

The Australia line up for the national anthem in Cardiff

Uncapped lock Blake Enever will make his Australian debut against England on Saturday after Adam Coleman failed a fitness test.

The influential Coleman injured his thumb during the Wallabies’ victory over Wales last weekend, but was named in the side to take on the Six Nations champions after coming through training on Thursday.

Australia checked on Coleman again on the eve of the match, though, and the enforcer was ruled out of the Cook Cup showdown.

Brumbies’ Enever, 26, gets his chance against Eddie Jones men ahead of Matt Philip, with Lukhan Tui also unavailable due to a hamstring injury.

Lopeti Timani has been named among the replacements, with wing Henry Speight dropping out of the squad.

Australia: Kurtley Beale, Marika Koroibete, Tevita Kuridrani, Samu Kerevi, Reece Hodge, Bernard Foley Will Genia; Scott Sio, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Sekope Kepu, Rob Simmons, Blake Enever, Ned Hanigan, Michael Hooper (captain), Sean McMahon.

Replacements: Stephen Moore, Tom Robertson, Allan Alaalatoa, Matt Philip, Ben McCalman, Lopeti Timani, Nick Phipps, Karmichael Hunt.

Agree with you CM, but most keyboard warriors and pundits love to talk up a coach sacking. Many managers have gone through rough waters and come back with great success….however the recent Michael Carrick Man Utd appointment does back up the new broom sweeps clean theory!

The challenge that awaits new All Blacks coach Dave Rennie

It seems like things have been unravelling in NZR as much as the ABs culture for quite some time. There are doubtless many reasons for that; but it’s clear that a “not-for-fit-purpose” NZR was having something of a domino effect on AB performance. The problem was less Ian Foster or Scott Robertson per se; whatever weaknesses each might have had, both have shown that, with the right support personnel and leadership structures, their teams — whether the ABs in IF’s case or the Crusaders in SR’s — can excel. In the absence of these structures, communication becomes murky, and the players feel confused and demoralised. I salute David Kirk for recognising this, and for making sure that the search process for a new coach was not about finding the “messiah” that many keyboard pundits crave but, rather, about embodying a new culture of due diligence, consultation, and transparency. Rennie as an individual seems to embody these values, but that’s less the point: the structures around the new coach also need to change radically. People here often kvetch about what they see as too much “player power.” But the players were clearly unhappy for a reason, and that reason wasn’t their outsized egos but something wrong in the ecosystem NZR had created, which included the processes by which previous coaches were appointed and the structures in which they operated. It will take time for this rebuild to take effect. But Gregor Paul does a great job of explaining why it had to happen.

Robertson also appeared to have a licence to spend. His total coaching, management and support staff grew to 24 people, which was more than the 21 of his predecessor Ian Foster, and in late 2024, he was able to take an additional seven players to Japan – to provide training opposition – at a cost of around $500,000 in wages, flights and accommodation, all in a year in which NZR posted a $19m loss.

Wow.

The challenge that awaits new All Blacks coach Dave Rennie



“That is the accountability we have. We talked to a whole range of people and there was virtually no difference between which island they came from [North or South], no difference between which ethnicity they were, virtually no difference whether they were an old player or a young player, the trends and the themes were very consistent.”

What do we think Kirk meant by this? Is he trying to let us not Razors incompetence wasn’t by any discriminatory bias?

Bro, what the flying f*uck are you even talking about?

It's a proper game with silverware on the line. And we still have nothing even resembling a scrum or a functioning lineout

Steve Borthwick quizzed on his England future at tense press conference

Asked why he is the right man to take England forward, Borthwick replied: “The team’s growth in the last 12 months has been very, very strong.”

He didn’t say yes. Which means what he said was an adoptive admission—the absence of a timely denial when confronted with the truth.

3 games, 3 losses, 3 chances to fix, 3 incredibly poor performances. How many more opportunities should he be given? His tactics are limited and if it wasn’t obvious in the defeat to Ireland, it looks increasingly like the players are incapable of playing the game Borthwick wants.

Title contending Scotland shock France to shake established Six Nations order

Scotland’s greatest moment of this century - just a blindingly good performance and a joy for all neutral rugby fans. I’ve seen some upsets in my time, but for this team to absolutely thump France, well, it speaks for itself doesn’t it? Well done to Gregor Townsend and his team, and to all those who said he should go, including Andy Goode…..you were wrong.

I don’t think this ‘restructure’ angle has many legs to stand on, all about for Leon would have just been at the end of their terms and all had better options on the table.

I also think it’s foolish for Kirk and the new regime to concern themselves too much with how Razor was appointed, they needed someone immediately to take over in 2022 and it would have hurt the establishment far more to have offered someone the job then, and then say 6 months later when looking for a new coach to say thanks, but we don’t want you now.

Steve Borthwick quizzed on his England future at tense press conference

Haha, all you England fans, including you Andy Goode, make me smile so much. Personally I would stick with Borthwick, I believe in backing a coach and allowing them to improve, in the same way Clive Woodward was given that opportunity (and just look at the results). It feels like Borthwick has suffered from paradox of choice in the last 12 months, he was playing Fin Smith then he reverted to Ford, he had Marcus at 15, then he reverted to Steward, etc. He’s going through a process at the moment of working out what works best and what doesn’t work long term. I think it would be a mistake to sack him now, because you have endured the hardest part of his tenure. I reject the notion too that the players aren’t playing for him - that game was incredibly physical with Italy and England were in the box seat up until the two yellow cards. I don’t believe they are far off playing winning rugby. They are miles off RSA, France and a strong NZ, but who isn’t? But if they start again now, with a new coach, it will be an all too familiar result 18 months from now. Many people called for Jones’s head in 2018 and by the world cup it was a very different story. He needs support and to be backed.

Hello? Who do you think Rennie is going to have, a bunch of newbies?

Couldn’t really follow your comment otherwise, did you mean unsatisfied? Or like “apathetic”? This sounds more like you getting ahead of yourself with Razors appointment again lol, again, that should have nothing to do with performance.
