[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1135222, member: 59968"] It looks like Eddie is staring down the barrel of a 0-4 record going in to the RWC. Losing against the Boks in SA, was always likely. Losing badly and then losing the one game they might have expected to win at home though, is bad news. Particularly when their next couple of games are against a resurgent NZ side. I’m still backing the Aussies to win pool C though. There’s a lot of talent in the squad and even if Eddie’s stock is low right now, I think he can turn it around for he tournament. 4 losses would be a very bad start, but I maintain that a team being forged in adversity against top tier opposition is a lot better than playing meaningless games that can give a very false impression of where a team is at. Fiji have a very good squad, but probably not much better than 2019. I thought they’d do well last time round but they underperformed against Australia and Wales and lost to Uruguay … They haven’t beaten a good side in a long time and even if the talent is there, it would take a massive improvement for the m to win the group.
