Assuming Cheika is gone after RWC who would be on the ARU shortlist for potential replacements? They have somewhat missed the cycle with many moves made in the past 6 months at Super and International level that have committed good coaches beyond RWC.
If Cheika is dumped they might almost be better off giving the incoming coach a two season deal, let the Aussie franchise coaches get more seasoning and sound out international coaches in a way that doesn't appear completely desperate.
If the ARU is hell bent on Cheika seeing the contract out then bring in a technical advisor. Maybe they can shake a deal for one of the experienced Top League coaches (of which White is one) on ice until 2020 to take a one year role.

@rotated there are a bunch of people all for grooming Dave Wessels. But a very short period as head coach of a franchise and then national might just screw him, and us.
Really, as I said above: it doesn't matter who, because the cattle and the system are shit.

@nta yeah, looking from afar changing the coach isn't going to be the cure all.
Cheika hasn't gone from highly successful in Ireland to worthless in one assignment, similarly for Link and Robbie
See a pattern here?
-
Who leaked the news of a scheduled meeting with White? Is Hooper back yet?

The fact that this became public seems to have saved Cheika.
@bovidae one of the Wallaby Leadership team heard Raeleen Castles speaking to White on the phone after 10.30pm!

@catogrande When I saw the title of this article (Ewen McKenzie's plan to burn Canberra's rubbish to generate electricity), I immediately thought of the Brumbies. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Bonocock got married. The photos he put up are actually pretty cool, good luck to both of them.

@jegga First thing I thought when I saw those photos is why are they carrying a chilly bin that so clearly has wheels on it.
