Deans is a great coach
Lets for a moment dwell on his not so successful year with the wallabies. The thing that has impresses me most is his willingness to show the door to the uncommitted.
Lets look at Cost-a-Lote Tuquiri.......a big name who had done nothing for several years. Bye bye

Make no mistake. Deans has his eye on the future. O'Connor, Genia, Cooper, Beale, Ioane are the most exciting group of talented players Australia has produced in a single cluster in many decades. They are inexperienced but will see Australia to many victories in the future.

I'll throw in another. Rob Horne whom Deans has his eye on, could quite possibly be the best of all of them.

Hire for attitude, train for skill

Deans inherited a team that had failed miserably at the 2007 RWC. He started introducing his systems but met with extreme resistance from the senior players. He has weeded them out this year (Sharpe, Baxter, Tuquiri, Mortlock, Waugh, perhaps Smith) and Giteau better have an adjustment attitude or he'll be playing in France abnd eating snails pretty soon.

The senior player group has been dismissed which has left a raw boned largely inexperienced group to fly the flag. Although the results have not come, Australia has only had one game this year that they were never a chance of winning.....the Bledisloe test in Wellington. Apart from that aberration, Australia was in a position to win every other test. Inexperience is the main problem and that will change over the next couple of years as his new breed get more exposure to Super 14 rugby and test rugby.

Deans has winning strategies and winning systems well structured. He can't run onto the field and do it for the players. He doesn't miss goal kicks from in front either.

In Australia, we are more than happy with him. We know he's a great coach and we can see where he's going. He will be successful with this group in the very near future.

Wales will get a touch up tonight.

The Irish escaped with a last minute draw

The Scots had a metaphysical power from beyond our reckoning controlling their fortunes. Australia was a 30 point better team than Scotland with 3 disallowed tries, missed penalty kicks and drop goals. On another night, Australia would have taken a few of those chances and destroyed Scotland. It was one of those inexplicable results to be struck from the minds

With a succesful penalty against Ireland and a succesful pealty against Scotland, Australia would be playing for a Grand Slam tonight. That is how close Deans is to turning this wallaby team into a world force.

The 2003 allblacks were the most feared team in world rugby in 2003. They destroyed Australia and RSA in the tri nations. The RWC disaster continued for NZ in a massive boilover. Mitchell and Deans were unfairly made the scapegoat in typical NZ fashion.

We'll keep him. I find it remarkable that NZ didn't want him. One mans rubbish is another mans treasure

Dingo Deans is building an Australian rugby dynasty. You've been warned/i]

Possibly the biggest load of shit I have ever read.

England were the most feared team in 2003. And Mitchell and Deans were rightly shown the door - they f**ked up big time with many slection decisions. Got rid of all senior players that had an opinion. That's the Deans style - agree or go.

It's remarkable we didn't want him...and his 50% win rate. F**k off Dingo

Australia smashed the ABs and beat the africans in their first tri-nations games under Deans. They have got worse since he's taken over - if it's a work in progress it's going backward.

As for the youth of players - someone posted here that the ABs had fewer test caps than the aussies in the first bledisloe of the year - youth excuse is out as well.



Chiselhead is probably right with the Scotland result. The Scottish had the better of the luck on the day. The aussies were off their game.
But this is one of the weakest Scottish teams for ages, they are not like the Welsh or Irish who have been strong in recent years, Scotland would be lucky to beat Samoa at the moment. With the players the aussies have, an bad day at the office (and a spot of bad luck) should have seen them win by only 20 instead of 40.




There are a number of players who consistently produce at super level, but are unable to make a step up. We accept this. But why do we not accept that a coach might fall into the same boat? Fair enough, Deans' super results were enough to look past his expulsion from the ABs coahing ranks in 2003, and give him another shot. I though he'd go well for Australia. But how thoroughly must we be proved wrong before we admit that we were?

Wallaby fans actually celebrating winning 2 from 4 against the home nations. :huh:

Perfect demonstration of why they are satisfied with Deans

I love how you 'mark the wales performance down to Deans' but fall over yourself to tell us how deans wasn't kicking the goals etc in the loss to the scottish. :laughing:

And why are we being abused after we just gave the world a rugby lesson?

Good win though Wallabies. Maybe the reason we are happy for you to have Deans is because while a 50% win rate is acceptable to you, it is not for us?
