    @jegga no mate. It just looks like I did. The last line about being too scared to tell Hoops was beyond my comic ability.

      And is a game plan at least one RWC cycle out of date. I'd contend that they'd not get out of their pool playing that way.

      There's a team playing in green at the moment who are very successfully replicating a significant part of JW's game plan...

            Someone on planet rugby said the sos has been put out to Scott Johnson now .

            If I was an Aussie rugby fan I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry if I found out that was true.

                @jegga thing is, Aus will be all but scraping the barrel whichever way they turn at present, knee jerk decision due to somethign they should have done a year or more back, but at the time didnt due to not alot of options.

                Also, dont forget it's thier fault we only won 83.3% of our games this year.

                  Ah - the article didn't load up on first reading. Yes people will point to Jake White's record, but his approach ran out of steam at the Brumbies once people played simply better rugby.

                  Several reasons why a change of coach won't work, but mainly the entire system is fucked, and we can't go around paying out contracts when we don't have any money.

                  We can look ahead to 2023 if we make the kind of decisions NZRFU did back in 2007 after France.

                        At that point we were like the France of the Southern Hemisphere. Just could beat certain teams by a ton one week, and then get humped the next.

                          Assuming Cheika is gone after RWC who would be on the ARU shortlist for potential replacements? They have somewhat missed the cycle with many moves made in the past 6 months at Super and International level that have committed good coaches beyond RWC.

                          If Cheika is dumped they might almost be better off giving the incoming coach a two season deal, let the Aussie franchise coaches get more seasoning and sound out international coaches in a way that doesn't appear completely desperate.

                          If the ARU is hell bent on Cheika seeing the contract out then bring in a technical advisor. Maybe they can shake a deal for one of the experienced Top League coaches (of which White is one) on ice until 2020 to take a one year role.

                            @rotated there are a bunch of people all for grooming Dave Wessels. But a very short period as head coach of a franchise and then national might just screw him, and us.

                            Really, as I said above: it doesn't matter who, because the cattle and the system are shit.

                              @nta yeah, looking from afar changing the coach isn't going to be the cure all.

                              Cheika hasn't gone from highly successful in Ireland to worthless in one assignment, similarly for Link and Robbie

                              See a pattern here?

                                  Who leaked the news of a scheduled meeting with White? Is Hooper back yet? 😉

                                  The fact that this became public seems to have saved Cheika.
