    they are desperate. the entire ARU model is based on top down. A successful Wallabies will lead to a successful "grass roots". The Wallabies are shit, and there are zero signs of improvement. 2018 started reasonably well, they really pushed Ireland and could have won that series, but the team has been in reverse since then.

    A bad 2019, and an early World Cup exit, would be an absolute disaster. And it's a very real possibility.

      @mariner4life got an email from the local minis rugby coordinator at Parramatta Western Sydney Two Blues, asking if we were interested in fielding minis this year. Unlikely. And even they admit there is a spiral for district junior rugby out here.

      We're fucked.

                      Maybe Retallick, Cane and Coles. Of course they would be player coaches.

                      Aside from that, no chance

                            I'd have more credibility if I hosted a podcast episode on "How MacDonald, Coventry, and Halangahu can win next year's Super Rugby championship with the Blues."

                                  Rugby Australia Hunting Coach Who’ll Fix Every Systemic Problem Within Their Organisation – In 11 Months

                                  ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact

                                  The nation’s peak rugby union body has announced this morning that they’re on the lookout for a coach who will fix the myriad of cultural, structural and social problems that have plagued the organisation in recent years.

                                  Under-siege Wallabies coach Micheal Cheika was all but guaranteed his job until next year’s World Cup but as he’s not been able to rid Rugby Australia of its issues, Rugby Australia is on the hunt for a coach who will.

                                  “We aren’t confident in Michael’s ability to win the World Cup next year,” said RA head Raelene Castle.

                                  “So he needs to go. We need a coach who will get us to the quarters or semis, where we will be comprehensively dismantled by Ireland or the All Blacks. That will take the pressure off the executive, which is ultimately responsible for the death of the sport over the past 20 years,”

                                  “We’re also looking at getting whoever the new coach is some quality cattle. We’re looking for the next Matt Rogers and Lote. Code jumpers should band-aid the problems for the time being. At the end of the day, if the executives and marketing shit kickers can keep their jobs and get another swirl of the toilet, that’s all that matters,”

                                  “And all this needs to happen in 11 months.”

                                  The Advocate reached out to the Players Association for comment but all were too afraid Hoops would find out.

                                  More to come.

                                      @jegga no mate. It just looks like I did. The last line about being too scared to tell Hoops was beyond my comic ability.

                                        And is a game plan at least one RWC cycle out of date. I'd contend that they'd not get out of their pool playing that way.

                                        @antipodean said in Aussie Rugby in general:

                                        There's a team playing in green at the moment who are very successfully replicating a significant part of JW's game plan...

                                          Someone in the Aru must have read the emporers new clothes , how this utter fraud continues to be touted as decent coach is a mystery.
