Fucken RA say hold my beer to NZR!
Is there a longer coaching contract out there at the moment? Outstanding to sign a coach who the world has figured out is two seasons tops to a contract like that... when you already have a coach!
My only fear now is just what lengths Robinson is going to go to, to devise the reinstatement of his incompetence crown.
They figure two seasons would be enough to win Bledisloe and Bill. I think Wallabies will get a spike in their performance in that time, hopefully not at our expense
Oh I'd agree with that. But he's signed to a 5 year contract isn't he? Or have I misread?
Yep That is right but am thinking the goal will be to win the Bledisloe straight away ( while NZ Rugby is a bit vulnerable). Don’t think they can win this WC but they should get an improvement in their world rankings ( can’t get any worse can it?). Should be able to beat the BILs at home.
Also 4.5M deal - I thought RA were broke?

Will be interesting to watch ,
Cant help but feel it will either go pretty well or shithouse , but not in between ,
Based on the players either warming to his style or fucking hating it

Surely the players are sick of losing and would be prepared to do a few hard yards to improve.

The ones who don't will be discarded in short order, I'd say.

Now we know the real reason they were working so hard to get a share of our Super broadcasting money.

Down to their last 4.6 million, perhaps...
This is brilliant for rugby. Eddie knows the EU scene and has a rejected point to prove, England can act all noble and holier than Australia, while Australia can rub their hands together they managed to deport a kiwi. -

Yeah, coz Rennie wouldn't have made them work hard.

I blame Deans for Rennie's appointment.

Well at least this has given us something to talk about.
I feel for Rennie, it always felt like he wasn't far off getting the team really playing well but injuries and the obvious lack of depth just curtailed his plans time and again. I actually had them as a dark horse for the RWC, particularly if they had Quade and Kerevi at 10/12. Eddie will be praying he gets those two fit or he's going to have the same struggles Rennie did.
Eddie is a good coach but his reputation is boosted massively by a couple of RWC wins against the ABs, despite failing to actually win the thing after that.

@KiwiMurph he had a 38% win rate with 20% talent mate. Scooby Doo would have made the spring tour if he had a gold jersey on.

It wasn't just the spring tour (though he did rest a lot of his best players vs Italy and it backfired horrendously).
He's had 3 years.
He lost the series to Eddie Jones' England last year.
He's never come close to winning back the Bledisloe Cup.
A lot of competitive losses in his tenure but that's not going to cut it.

It will be interesting to see if Quade's maturity and redemption story extends to working with Eddie. The Wallabies looked a different team with him playing. Eddie could well benefit from the depth Rennie had to develop.
But the reality is that the Wallabies always had a walk-up start to a semifinal courtesy of the ridiculous draw.

I think he's an excellent coach. Twice he's outcoached his Trans Ta$man counterpart at a RWC. He coached Japan to beat the Springboks. I think this is an astute decision by RA.

Confirms the suspicion I harbour that the Chiefs success was a matter of timing and the Professor.

I last had a RWC Semi just before kick off in the 2019 final. I lost that pretty quickly.

@KiwiMurph All true, but we watch Super Rugby and see the talent at his disposal. It ain’t there. It might be when everyone flies in from Japan/Europe and is fit and healthy, but they’ve played as we would expect them to. They spend from February to October mostly getting slaughtered by NZ teams. Do you think Eddie or anyone else would have done any better since 2019?
