yeah :)
i lived in Sydney and Cairns for a year and was shocked to find that no-one cared about Union until the teams lost. it was all league league league, and i hate league, its like a training session for backs in Union :)
when i was there the new national league went bust because no-one went to the games, it only lasted a year

To say the Wallabbies are rebuilding is just being polite - the truth is that they are mediocre. The backs kick away possession, rather than take the ball to the line - but they can't take it to the line because they know at the breakdown the forwards will be too slow getting there and possession will be lost - so there is a choice of hand the ball over here or give the other team the ball down there.
Until Australia has a dynamic back row again with a running, aggressive number 8 - think Toutai Kefu style - the forwards will struggle and while Genia is better than the rest at half back he is only better not outstanding.

i agree with whats happening at the breakdown, the problem for is that kids are not playing union so you dont have kids growing up wanting to be a prop like i did.
your back row is not the problem though, its Matt Giteau......ive never seen a worse placekicker in International rugby. You would have beaten both Ireland and Scotland if he had made his kicks, and im not talking 100%, i doubt he is even hiting 70%.
you need a proper number 10 to control the game like O'Gara Sexton or Carter. a smart player that knows when to kick and when to run
