And now, Japan Rugby League One has become a real threat to the dying Super Rugby.

Would love a vid on how you drill this in training.

I am already starting to lose faith in Rugby Union ! Officiating , WRU !

Hi Uggy, thanks for this video. Very informative and well researched, mate. I'm a Kiwi living near London with family in South Wales - so union has been the main rugby code in those places. But to be honest, I've got to the point where I've stopped watching union altogether. I'm so SICK AND TIRED of the lopsided results at international level. Various pool game results at last year's Rugby World Cup read: Ireland 82-8 Romania; France 96-0 Namibia; New Zealand 96-17 Italy; NZ 73-0 Uruguay to give just a VERY few examples... and let's not forget New Zealand 44-6 Argentina in a FLIPPING SEMI-FINAL! In union, Samoa and Tonga used to beat the top sides. Now they just get WALLOPED by embarrassing margins. The once compelling Bledisloe Cup has become a one sided joke. The Wallabies haven’t won it since 2002, and don’t look close to winning it any time soon. Super Rugby has been utterly lame since 2020, when NZ Rugby - in a moment of breathtaking arrogance and stupidity - made it clear to South Africa and Argentina that they weren’t wanted anymore. The fans wanted both countries to STAY of course, but those stuck up idiots at the NZ Rugby always think they know better than us. They have the audacity to call themselves “fan-centric” too. They can take a hike, as far as I’m concerned. They’re nothing more than egocentric, money-centric morons. They can keep their lame Super Rugby tournament, where 99% games are now played in empty stadia with zero atmosphere. Contrast that with League, where Tonga, Samoa and Fiji are getting more and more historic victories. The way the Pacific Island communities get behind their national sides is incredible. I’ve NEVER seen union crowds show the same level of passion. They’re so lukewarm and passive in comparison. Although league isn't the sport my family and I have traditionally followed, I think league is doing a much better job growing the game in Oceania than union is... by a LONG, LONG WAY. At this rate, rugby will become an irrelevant minority sport there. I think World Rugby is the most inept clueless governing body in world sport... NZ Rugby, Rugby Australia and the Pacific Island unions are utterly hopeless and corrupt too. They score own goal after own goal, and now fans are turning their backs on these ABYSMAL and OUT OF TOUCH organisations. As a union fan, I'm sad and angry about it... but the clowns running union only have themselves to blame for the fans walking away in disgust. Credit to league for taking the initiative to grow the game. They deserve to be the leading rugby code in Oceania for engaging their fans so much better. Union’s administrators deserve nothing more than humiliating failure for ignoring their fans for so long. They've buried their heads in the sand and the fans have had enough. Union is a sinking ship, and the fans are all escaping it.

Wow, this will make such a difference for our team- senior and junior. Went from playing no 11 to no 6 and this was the sauce!

We need to leave

super et merci d'un Français

Merci !

I'm loving your videos man😊🇿🇦

To think Pollard would've been the highest paid at this time😅

I couldn't agree more with this. I wish other countries would follow this model. This is why Welsh rugby has fallen apart. People are far more likely to support their local town/city than made up regions/franchises and promotion/relegation makes every game interesting.

It doesn't have a steroid problem. You don't have proof for shit

I used to be so good at tackling but I got really really bad at it recently and just haven’t got the confidence to

Bravo l'Australie ❤ Magnifique

Yep. The Wobbilies are back. The wheels fell of against Scotland. Back to being....Wobbilies

Yep middle of the target and accelerate into the tackle. Do not plant yourself, as the attacking player will run round you, or worse, if he's a prop run through you.

I thought at the time that this video was overly optimistic but I expected it would take longer than three days for the hopes of Aussie fans to be crushed. Again. But no, Scotland crushed Australia 27-13, 4 tries to 1, overnight.

This didn’t age well 😂😂😂

Wallabies are back .... down the toilet

Even though we won today, I know damn well that the Wallabies will be back stronger the next time we play you guys. The Lions tour all of a sudden looks very spicy

U spoke to soon… f cost me money today!

Awesome Uggy , stoked with you brother as a die hard Wallabies fan 👌🏽 let’s hope we can do the SH teams proud again haha

Can't wait for the game this evening. Go the Wallabies. Uggy it has been a while mate but I believe like you that we are back, not in full force but in momentum building a very competitive Wallaby team.

Did it actually even leave? The quality of management of late was the issue. Ya get team like South Africa who think they are the best ever,and slagging others of. We have all seen the bollocks talk! I shut them down straight away and for good by asking where’s the SA rugby league team,how are they doing? Imagine if Australia didn’t have league and Aussie rules teams. Imagine the rugby selection then!

People watch rugby in Australia? 😂

Yes go Wallabies as a kiwi i support the ANZACs first SH second and the rest dont care

Super Rugby is boring to watch these days it isn’t the same without the South African teams lot of Aussies and Kiwis prefer to watch NRL also in the international rugby union the Wallabies have been in a major downfall and now the All Blacks are at the end of their prime

Seriously, Australia wins a game and suddenly they are world beaters. Yawn.

I've never got off the wallabies bandwagon since 2011

With Joe Schmidt at the helm, I’m picking a 2:1 series win over the Lion in 2025.

Great explanation, i watched this with my son 👍

Oh we’re soooo back 😂 cmon Wallabies. I’m loving this series right now Big fan from WA

Great vid, especially the genuine excitement and enthusiasm. I feel the same! Nervous for Scotland next but as you said, we have shown we can do this!

Tom Wright is fire

Don't jinx it...

Yeah look, if you can't beat scotland this weekend you're definitely getting swept by the lions next year. A 2 game win streak against a couple european teams that are going through a rough form patch and who haven't played a proper tournament in half a year is not really a great indicator of where Australia is actually at. They look much better with their gameplay and confidence, but the Scots are a very abrasive and clinical team and the Irish are even better...so my bet is there's probably back to back losses coming to end the year off. Fools gold most likely.

Well said 😊

Up the Wallabies baby

2 swallows does not a summer make but it’s better than always losing.

At our best we're the best rugby team to watch in the world, we run more than forrest gump

Im from Perth so have an AFL background and discovered rugby when I moved to the eastern states. In AFL they accept that it takes up to two years playing at the highest level before a guy really learns what is required week in week out. So I think maybe we make the call a bit early on some of these guys... we have to accept it will take a while for them to adapt to test match rugby, the beauty of picking young guys is they pick it up quicker!! Having said that, it makes a huge difference when you have a forward pack that can give the side some momentum going forward. Very excited now about the future of the Wallabies. Go you good things!! ; ]

Just need to ditch Super Rugby and create a national club competition.

I blame the Aussies for the AB’s drop in intensity rugby. Hurry up and get ur s&@r together 😂😂

I've said this in a few places but I'm super happy with how the Spring Tour has started for us. Not only did they net two away wins but two different types of wins, the first one being one against the old enemy who prefers to play tight and boy was it a close game. It's rare that we sneak away with the win after the buzzer but I'm so glad we did. The second type of win being the blowout win BUT with a significant disadvantage and I think Giteau explained it so well on the KOKOs podcast, losing Kerevi meant the forwards were forced to take it through the middle, (hence the 3 tries from mauls) before sending it wide as one of the key link players was now gone. The Wallabies have shown some really good grit and fundamentals for these wins and I'm already really satisfied with how they've gone. If they can be competitive against the Scots then I'll be stoked. If they can push the Irish then I'll be ecstatic. It's wishful thinking, but it's hard to help it when the players are playing well and there's huge promise and skill shown in their play. The hope of a grand slam sounds both outlandish and plausible when you see how they've played lately!

I've been looking forward to your video. All us Kiwis are backing the Wallabies on their tour.

I don’t doubt any side coached by Joe Schmidt, When the ABs got beaten twice in NZ by Ireland they brought in Schmidt and Ryan and All blacks go on a long as win streak. Aus has the players just needed the right coach

Dare to Dream… Not since 1984 Mark Ella, Simon Poidevin, Michael Lynagh & Campo. Beating Ireland will be very hard. Good Luck lads 👍

Let’s see hey don’t get too cocky !😊

And all it took was an NRL player lol
