          @NTA yeah, i have to say, as bad as aussie performance was in the RWC, i dont think i would have sacked him, it was always going to be a tough ask given other results this year...RA seem convinced it should be an easy fix and not a long term project

              I think improving the performance is relatively simple - pick the right players! We had a fucking cakewalk to a QF appearance ffs....

              Against the ABs tho? Hmmm....

                      That would surprise me given they're yet to formally announce their head of performance, to whom the coach would report.

                        @antipodean in fairness...as logical as that it is...sounds about right that RA would do things back to front

                          Just a rumour going around in some Australian sporting circles.

                            I was having a chat with Chris Thomson (GM Brumbies) on Tuesday and that's what he told me when I asked about the coaching position.

                              They announced it a few days ago. Peter Horne. Close ties with... Joe Schmidt.

                                Final negotiations are still being conducted but an announcement is likely in the next week. That might be why Chris didn't mention his name.

                                      Apparently Eddie's first talk with JRFU was them getting him to tell their recruitment company about the Japan head coach role, same not an interview.
                                      Recruitment company "So, Eddie-sama, what does this position need?"
                                      E " maaaaaate, it really needs some one who knows the Japanese culture. Can fit in. Like saying maaaaaate all the time. Maaaaaate"
                                      RC " good info, what else?"
                                      E " maaaaaate, they need someone who promises the rising sun, maaaaaate, but actually gives them a burning pile of paper wrapped dogshit left on the doormat. Maaaaaate"
                                      RC" and?"
                                      E" they gotta change the goal posts, rant at the media, drop any player that might stand up to them, blow the budget, and then blame it on their employer & entire country"
                                      RC "arigato"
                                      E"you probably need to pay them a shit load to"
                                      RC "maaaaaate"
