    bro this cockstain from the ARU's whole gig is "owning the kiwis" and aussie "supporters" fucking love it.

    He can strut around talking about how he "got Eddie AND screwed over a kiwi" what a fucking deadset legend and idiotic fluffybunnies from Randwick will pull him off for it.

    Good luck to them. Rugby in NZ needs Australia to be strong. I hope it works

    Of course, that would make Eddie a magician considering RA have been chasing this dragon for nigh on 14 years and it's probably getting worse not better no matter how many sacrifices are put on the coaching altar.

    @mariner4life I don't think this is true. I think Aussies appreciated it when they were calling out NZRU on some bullshit but I don't think many Aussies are impressed by how Rennie has been treated - regardless of whether Jones should have been appointed or not.

    Plenty of comments on SMH etc calling it out as bullshit.

      Mate, I tell ya, Rugby Australia has made a deadset shocker of a decision by appointing Eddie Jones as head coach.

      I'm telling ya, this is just what the Wallabies don't need, mate. A coach who can come in and shake things up, but for the worse. I'm sure Jones will be able to whip the boys into shape and turn them into a bunch of robots, following his every command and losing their individuality, mate. And let's not forget about Jones' tactical nous, I mean, what's the use of having a coach who only focuses on statistics and not the human aspect of the game, mate.

      In short, Rugby Australia's decision to appoint Eddie Jones as head coach is a deadset disaster. Anyone who disagrees is just a flaming galah, they just don't know what they're talking about. It's time for Rugby Australia to rack off bouncer, and get a coach that understands the game and the players, mate.

        Fucken RA say hold my beer to NZR!

        Is there a longer coaching contract out there at the moment? Outstanding to sign a coach who the world has figured out is two seasons tops to a contract like that... when you already have a coach!

        My only fear now is just what lengths Robinson is going to go to, to devise the reinstatement of his incompetence crown.

        They figure two seasons would be enough to win Bledisloe and Bill. I think Wallabies will get a spike in their performance in that time, hopefully not at our expense

        Oh I'd agree with that. But he's signed to a 5 year contract isn't he? Or have I misread?

        Yep That is right but am thinking the goal will be to win the Bledisloe straight away ( while NZ Rugby is a bit vulnerable). Don’t think they can win this WC but they should get an improvement in their world rankings ( can’t get any worse can it?). Should be able to beat the BILs at home.

        Also 4.5M deal - I thought RA were broke?

          Surely the players are sick of losing and would be prepared to do a few hard yards to improve.

            The ones who don't will be discarded in short order, I'd say.

                    Down to their last 4.6 million, perhaps...
                    This is brilliant for rugby. Eddie knows the EU scene and has a rejected point to prove, England can act all noble and holier than Australia, while Australia can rub their hands together they managed to deport a kiwi.

                                Rennie got well and truly fucked here. I love it.

                                Less than a 40% win rate and rated as not worth trusting with a World Cup run. By Australia.

                                Will any international teams take a chance on him as a head coach? I can’t see it.

                                  Well at least this has given us something to talk about.

                                  I feel for Rennie, it always felt like he wasn't far off getting the team really playing well but injuries and the obvious lack of depth just curtailed his plans time and again. I actually had them as a dark horse for the RWC, particularly if they had Quade and Kerevi at 10/12. Eddie will be praying he gets those two fit or he's going to have the same struggles Rennie did.

                                  Eddie is a good coach but his reputation is boosted massively by a couple of RWC wins against the ABs, despite failing to actually win the thing after that.

                                    @KiwiMurph he had a 38% win rate with 20% talent mate. Scooby Doo would have made the spring tour if he had a gold jersey on.

                                    It wasn't just the spring tour (though he did rest a lot of his best players vs Italy and it backfired horrendously).

                                    He's had 3 years.

                                    He lost the series to Eddie Jones' England last year.

                                    He's never come close to winning back the Bledisloe Cup.

                                    A lot of competitive losses in his tenure but that's not going to cut it.

                                      It will be interesting to see if Quade's maturity and redemption story extends to working with Eddie. The Wallabies looked a different team with him playing. Eddie could well benefit from the depth Rennie had to develop.

                                      But the reality is that the Wallabies always had a walk-up start to a semifinal courtesy of the ridiculous draw.

                                      Eddie is a good coach but his reputation is boosted massively by a couple of RWC wins against the ABs, despite failing to actually win the thing after that.

                                      I think he's an excellent coach. Twice he's outcoached his Trans Ta$man counterpart at a RWC. He coached Japan to beat the Springboks. I think this is an astute decision by RA.

                                        Confirms the suspicion I harbour that the Chiefs success was a matter of timing and the Professor.
