I reckon the Wallabies have dug a big, deep hole for themselves and the first step to getting out of it starts here on Saturday against the All Blacks. If someone was looking for a blueprint on creating a public relations disaster, the current situation at the Wallabies would be top of the pile. Maybe if they had been putting it all together on the field, the off-field debacle wouldn’t seem so shocking – although, in saying that, the reverse is true as well. A team that is content, happy and all pulling together off the field is invariably a winning team that in turn will have total public support. Instead, the Wallabies – guilty and innocent alike - have painted themselves as a boy’s club with a total ignorance of public expectation. All of which makes Saturday’s game at Suncorp Stadium one of the most vital in the Wallabies’ long and proud history. A win won’t get them out of the mess they’re in but it will at least show some character. Against the Old Enemy who are coming off their first loss in almost two years, local hero Quade Cooper sure to get some game time, and the carrot of redemption being dangled – I reckon the ingredients are all there for a cracker of a game. What do YOU reckon?
