          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.

                        Or, ironically, make an announcement about their HP appointment 🤔

                          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"

                                But good on you , it's the like of people like you that keeps our great game going around the world!
                                And for that reason you and the likes of NTA and others who involved in community game (wherever in world etc) have my appreciation, did it for many years and understand the work/time invoved.
                                So Thanks !

                                      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.
