12 months on - the Wallabies... same shit different smell

A new coach, a few players in new positions... same shit different smell

Losing on Wednesday evening to a club side has all but summarised the Wallabies year. They have looked woeful at the best of times.

Player depth in Australia is at an all time low. There are no exciting prospects in Rugby in 2006.

I remember the David Campese era, he was an exciting player, a player that would get bums on seats at games. Now who do we have?

Wonder child Matt Giteau will be earning six zereos next year, for what?

A small inside centre that doesn't get the service from his grandfather half back. Or maybe put the million dollar baby in the half position, but ask why would you pay a few million dollars for a halfback?

Mat Rogers, Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuqiri were the excitment that was injected into the Wallabies but that has failed. Rogers is returning to League, Lote has expressed his desires and well do we need to say anymore about Dell...

So who is the generation of boom of excitment in the Wallabies?

Gregan, Latham, Larkham, Mortlock.... they are solid players but they are not exciting players or Dan Carter's, Joe Rockocko or anyone of the All Black backs.

Australian rugby is in trouble. Our best prospect looks to be boom Joey's fly half, Kurtly Beale. Give him a go..

There is no depth in Australian rugby. Wednesday's loss had players in unfamiliar positions. Gerrard is not a fly half. Turunui is not a winger.

Connolly has done nothing! Yes we have won a few more games, but we don't look any better.

It's time to clean out Australian rugby and re-build. I have not even began to discuss the forwards or the woeful front row combinations the Wallabies have tried this year.

Maybe its time to skip a generation and blood some youth. Australian rugby needs to move forwards and holding onto some of our elder statesman, as well as playing people in unfamiliar positions is not the answer.

Connolly might not be the right man for the job and maybe we need to look at who can lead the Wallabies to a world cup victory on 2007, cause at the moment its just the same shit with a different smell.
