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

Wonder if RA look at Mick Byrne as a coach for Wallabies? Doing good job with Drua, been involved with ABs and Wallabies and apparently an incredible rugby brain.

Yes, yes, all very impressive. But does Hamish McLennan like his ability to pull headlines?

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.

Recommendation #1: Give more money to players.

Ex-England and Australia head coach Eddie Jones has ruled himself out of contention for the vacant British and Irish Lions role.
He certainly has, inadvertantly.

@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
Nice of him to confirm it. Given apparently the RFU wouldn't be seen dead with him anyway
Lions are not part of the RFU, but I doubt Iuean Evans (from shit little Wales) would be keen on him either

Yes I know that, but when 30% of your base* won't touch him, good luck getting the others to agree.
*Let's face it: Scotland are like 15%, Ireland 30%, and Wales 25%

He’s also a plank according to Austin Healy and he likes throwing medals away

Aged well...
McLennan argued former Wallabies were supportive of the move, and that Jones had a “hard edge” that Rennie did not. The chair later upset some players and fans by appearing to criticise Rennie’s penchant for playing guitar in team bonding sessions.
“I would rather we have somebody who’s really tough and we win World Cups than we have a Kumbaya session, everyone holds hands and we fail,” McLennan said.

McKellar rules himself out.
@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
McKellar rules himself out.
If he’s genuinely not interested why wouldn’t he take the opportunity to say
I’d love to coach the Wallabies one day, but that will never happen with the current board in place
I have no confidence in their ability to do their jobs and support me in doing mine
