    Last time Eddie Jones was appointed Wallabies coach Iphones, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook did not exist and even harder to imagine Australia actually held the Bledisloe Cup.

    Never forget it Ferners…

        @NTA you didn't win the World Cup?

        Eddie excels at targeting and winning a big game at the Cup, just not the final

          Fuck me, McLennan talks some utter bullshit

          “It is a major coup for Australian Rugby to have the best coach in the world return home to coach the iconic Wallabies and to oversee the Wallaroos program,” McLennan said.

          Who was fired for being awful just weeks ago

          “Eddie’s deep understanding of our rugby system and knowledge of our player group and pathways will lift the team to the next level.

          Somewhere he hasn't coached for decades, deep understanding 🙄

          “Eddie instinctively understands the Australian way of playing rugby – this represents an opportunity to secure a coach of immense expertise and experience at the biggest competitions, and we did not want to miss it.”

          The Australian Way, Yeah Right

            Second place is the first loser.

            Better than being second loser.

              That's one of the most moronic signings / choices I have ever seen.

                  Unfortunately will Rennie have to rebuild his reputation again?

                  dunno, I reckon he has done enough in NZ rugby to serve him well, and from an outside perspective, you can see he has made improvements although Aus Rugby and he werent without thier issues.

                  NZR seem to love that International experience....

                  Yep taniwhai, but Deans seemed to of never really got another gig, and his rep was probably even higher than Rennies?

                  He's doing very nicely for himself in Japan without the stresses of test rugby.

                  Yep coaching at a level he is very good at.

                  He hasn't been that bad as an International coach of the last 6 Wallaby coaches over the last 21 years he has the 2nd best winning percentage behind John Connolly who only coached for 25 tests compared to Deans 75 tests and has a better winning percentage than Eddie Jones,Ewen McKenzie,Michael Cheika and Dave Rennie

                                                                                                        Winning %
                  

                  11 Eddie Jones 2001–2005 57 33 2 1 57.89 %
                  12 John Connolly 2006–2007 25 16 8 1 64.00%
                  13 Robbie Deans 2008–2013 75 44 29 2 58.67%
                  14 Ewen McKenzie 2013–2014 22 11 10 1 50.00%
                  15 Michael Cheika 2014–2019 68 34 32 2 50.00%
                  16 Dave Rennie 2020–2023 33 12 18 3 36.36%

                  16 Dave Rennie 2020–2023 33 12 18 3 36.36%

                  Not knocking Deans Chris, just think super etc was his level(very good at that too), and maybe man management etc was/is his weakness, especially if you hear and read what former players say, even Dan Carter who has a lot of time for him says he struggles with experienced players who already know the game well.
                  With your experience at coaching, I would suggest you know the difference skills required as a coach at different levels etc.
                  Some bloody great club coaches just don't make the step up to NPC etc etc, just different skills etc.

                                Actually Gregan always said it was only ever aimed at Kelleher, who he disliked, Justin Marshall actually thought it was good as he also thought Kelleher was a piston wristed gibbon, and heard him say those exact words!

                                  Actually Gregan always said it was only ever aimed at Kelleher, who he disliked, Justin Marshall actually thought it was good as he also thought Kelleher was a piston wristed gibbon, and heard him say those exact words!

                                  He heard Gregan while sitting in the stands ? That’s a good effort

                                    No, but it ever occur that he saw it on TV like us, and the players talked about it in the dressing shed??

                                    Oh I get you, I meant I heard Marshall use those exact words when describing it. 🤣 I got to explain myself a bit better it seems! Or at least post and not expect everyone to know how my mind is good at leaving out bits!

                                      Last time Eddie Jones was appointed Wallabies coach Iphones, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook did not exist and even harder to imagine Australia actually held the Bledisloe Cup.

                                          But there is no chance Rennie will work under Foster.

                                          Why's that? If he hasn't got a Japanese gig lined up as rumoured then a rest with the family followed by a short term gig with ABs could be a good option for him.

                                          Money? He'll get better money elsewhere, by far.

                                          Fame? He doesn't seem like that sort of guy.

                                          And if the ABs win, how much would he enjoy seeing Foster take the credit? That would be the killer for me -- there is literally no upside for him in doing it.

                                          There's only one reason he might take an assistant gig, and that would be out of (misplaced) loyalty to NZR.

                                          To quote you back "he doesn't seem like that sort of guy". I think if he thinks he can help the ABs win then he'd do it regardless of Foster. Plus, he only needs to read the Fern to know that Ryan gets all the credit anyway.

                                          I don't think he'd do it out of misplaced loyalty to NZR, just a desire to see the ABs win.

                                          You must be a saint. I'm just a reasonably altruistic kind of guy, and I wouldn't go near a job like that.

                                          Demotion to a much lower rank, for rubbish money (for him) with no future prospects in the job. Anything I do good reflecting on my boss, and any stuff up reflecting on me.

                                          Not in a million years!
