@Machpants between Cameron Clyne and Hamish McLennan, RA has not exactly been a centre of excellence...

Indeed. But with Lions then RWC x 2 coming up, you really gotta hope AR don't fuck this golden goose. Huge opportunities, hopefully not squandered on league players.

I think they are more likely to choose an Aussie as Head Coach and Joe as an assistant coach and use him in a similar way the All Blacks did.

If all it takes is talking shit and leading the team to embarrassing new lows in terms of losses like Eddie did then I reckon I’d make the shortlist at least.

Except there are no Aussie coaches to fill this role.

If they reappoint cheika they're quite frankly insane. Larkham isn't ready. Palmer Mackellar might be tempted back from Leicester but again: ready?

Laurie Fisher isn't a head coach but would make a great assistant.

So, who?

New coach should be appointed around the time SR starts.

Schmidt seems to be the favourite

@Tim

Daniel Halangahu, the highly respected assistant coach at the Blues who played alongside RA boss Waugh at the Waratahs, could also be someone on RA’s radar.
