this was pretty good

So the system is at fault not the guy who seems to have taken it on himself to make the captain's call regards Rennie/Eddie (maybe I am wrong, was it the entire board who decided?)

This guy sounds the worst.

Speaking of international coaches who will coach anywhere, what is John Mitchell doing?

@nostrildamus absolutely it is amazing the lack of accountability at the top

There is no accountability in corporate.

"The system" definitely contributes to our lack of performance generally, and our decline in the last 2 decades or so.

It doesn't completely explain this result, but brings it into focus more sharply

@Rancid-Schnitzel but that tradie will still get work somewhere else. Lot of houses before your Google reviews catch up with you.

And that ex-CEO will sue your board for slander if you don't give him glowing reviews.

I think you've missed the point a bit there Nick.

If you're talking Eddie, then of course I get your point.

I'm speaking more generally about the system that allows fucking up at the highest level with no visible consequences.

More of this will help the grassroots of the game.

"Cheika meanwhile sensationally took Argentina to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time and has never hidden his desire to coach the Wallabies again."

Sensationally?

I guess the previous time they made the semis wasn't sensational enough, given that the author has obviously forgotten all about it

It's corect because it's the first time Cheika took them to the semis...

Smart move, capitalising on the fact that the private school rugby scene in Melbourne is smallish compared to AFL.

Further, you are going to get a lot more Pasifika kids at public schools because - like Western Sydney - the outer suburbs in particular are that demographic.

Further, it seems from that video that they're connecting local schools players with junior clubs. What a profound concept My local schools don't even know our club exists, despite multiple attempts to contact them.

So I'm burning a few hundred in Facebook advertising and my own time putting video together to get the message out there....

Yes, he is currently in New Zealand with the team (as an observer) before he takes up new role at the end of this tournament.

Any got any inside Oil on who the ARU might be interested in to be the next Wallabies coach?

Dan54

@sparky anyone brave enough to go into that vipers' nest?

sparky

@Dan54 Milton Haig? Brad Thorn? Stephen Larkham?

Maybe Krusty or Foz if they can’t get another gig?

There were reports that the big 4 are McKellar, Larkham, Fozzie and Cheika.

Justin Harrison is a plague - the king of corporate buzzwords who is also head of RUPA and a Stan Commentator on the review panel - that will go well.

In other news Machpants has also ruled himself out of coaching the lions. He was understood to be slightly preferred to Eddie in the lions role

Yes, but you're not a shit-bag charlatan.

Oh, and if you want an illustration of how fucked rugby is in Australia, and why it's actually going to die

I registered my 12 year old son for his 2 month season up here. $90
That came with a breakdown.
$5 went to his club
Much much more was the QRU and ARU levy. 12 year olds are paying to prop up elite rugby, not the other way around.

Compare that to league and AFL and wonder where kids are going to play

Jeez, that's outrageous.

I checked locally and it's £75 for a whole, 8 month season, with £40-ish going to the club and the rest going to the RFU and insurance
