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.

Except there are no Aussie coaches to fill this role.
If they reappoint cheika they're quite frankly insane. Larkham isn't ready.
PalmerMackellar might be tempted back from Leicester but again: ready?Laurie Fisher isn't a head coach but would make a great assistant.
So, who?

:man_facepalming: yep that's who I meant

New coach should be appointed around the time SR starts.
Schmidt seems to be the favourite

Somewhat surprised at some of the negative kiwi reaction re Joe becoming the Wallabies coach. I was expecting 'mild disappointment' at him taking the job, not effigies being burnt.

Like Deans, it's a brave move. Same news cycle as NZ, our closest neighbour, and if he gets good we suffer. Really hope they got the chequebook out.
Must have been something weird with NZR for him to shoot off to Aus.

Yeah it has that feel about it that something has crashed and burned between Schmidt and the NZR.

Disagree. Wallabies being good is good for NZ.
Wish him all the best. Hopefully he can get the Wallabies firing by the Lions next year.

Rationally, absolutely.
Emotionally, if he coaches the Wobs to a win over us, people will react.

Fuck off. Hope you fail.
i hope he's a glorious success.
Like it or not kiwis, we need Aussie to be good. And alive. The ONLY way that is happening is if the Wallabies can win shit. Starting with the Bledisloe, and then the Lions.
If Joe can't win the Bledisloe back, and then they get humped 3-0 by the Lions, and fail at their home World Cup, then we're all alone at the ass end of nowhere, and economics will crush us.
It might also put the shits up NZ rugby a little if we have to actually work to win stuff down here again.

To paraphrase Byron Kelleher it’s 1999 all over again
