1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: Down to the Jonjing amount of arms to the pub 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: test Australian rugby Unions as it passed the pub test. 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 2: Well we got a drobbing, didn't we forty to six 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 2: against Wales. We've been drummed out of the World Cup. 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: We are in a bit of a hole and it 7 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: will take a while to get us out. Lots of 8 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 2: people love rugby union, so where's it all gone so wrong? 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: They're saying that maybe we need to invest and focus 10 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: more on the amateur ranks and have better pathways because 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: lots of boys, including my sons, play post school. Jack's 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: been playing colts he's twenty years old. That ends when 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: he's twenty one. Where are the pathways after that? Because 14 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 2: that's when everyone seems to drop off. It seems to 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: me I feel just as boring. It just gets bogged 16 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: down in kicking for penalty, kicking for penalties and then 17 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: there's dicking around. You know, this is just too much? 18 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: And is this because we're losing under Eddie Jones? Was 19 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: a big gamble to bring him back. The Wallabies have 20 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 2: lost eighteen out of the past twenty four games. Maybe 21 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: if we were winning we'd feel better about it. What 22 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: do you think Australian rugby union? Does it pass the 23 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: pub test? 24 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: Of course it does. 25 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Rugby union is the soul of rugby, but not that 26 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: cheap version league thing that they're out there. And if 27 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: they put as much money into the union as they 28 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: do to the league, it'll be getting the same results. 29 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: You know, there'll be the young kids coming through, but 30 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: everyone wants to go and get the money with the 31 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: league and the union suffers. 32 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 3: Look, it's always darkest before the dawn. 33 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 4: They're trying new things. 34 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: They're bringing new people in, not only in the. 35 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 4: Coaching staff but also some of the players who are 36 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 4: quite young and can be molded to be. 37 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: The future champions of rugby. So it's bad right now, 38 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: but I think they're still hoping that. 39 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: Would be a big fat Know when you're an nurl 40 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: fan and your team's going great and then you look 41 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 4: at the Wallabies. Yeah no, I'd happily not watch rugby 42 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 4: ever again. It's a dying sport, especially when they're not 43 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 4: going well. 44 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: Go to Panthers has got to ship out to the 45 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 3: burbs and get Rod involved in the young people, bringing 46 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: thrush and the good time to rub union and also 47 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: they've got to stop the kicking for lawn too much 48 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: because I sor I reckon. You know, it's got to 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: be a free flowing game. That's what my rugbie, and 50 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: you're really good in the in the seventies and early 51 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 3: as had the Yellow Brothers and all that type of things. 52 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: The Yellow Brothers what a time when the ball was 53 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: running down a field and big tries and stuff like that. 54 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: And when we don't play so well, that means we're 55 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: more prone to how players going overseas for more money. 56 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: So we really need to look at it. Thank you 57 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: for all your calls.
