[QUOTE="Zed, post: 1151251, member: 38503"] Yeah a few weeks ago I would have laughed at the though of the Wallabies losing to Portugal, not it's a distinct possibility. They could still qualify for the quarters, but I'm not sure what their morale is like and how motivated they are. 2 bad losses, ravaged by injuries and a coach that apparently has created a toxic environment. Plus there are credible reports out there he's already in talks with Japan for a coaching role. To be honest, the worst thing now for us would be to qualify, win the quarters and make a semi-final. Rugby Union is in dire straits in Australia, doing OK in the WC would paper over the cracks and delay the ARU addressing the fact the sport is in trouble. And I'm not sure why union is struggling, I've read a myriad of reasons. I did read an article that stated League and AFl were both thriving, especially at junior level. [/QUOTE]
