I would think that would be Forrest's top priority.

The other side of it, goes to Munster has success and steps into the Ireland job in 2019 after Joe Schmidt leaves for the All Blacks job. To get an international gig he has more chance with Munster than the Rebels. Let'sface it you need to make the final of a comp and while I hope the Rebels can manage that soon I know Munster will be knocking on the door for the next few years.
Rassie has done an amazing job at Munster and would be a easy transition to take over compared to coming into the Rebels at the moment.

Surely the logical choice for Munster's next coach is O'Gara. He's been throwing his name around the past year with a few coaching opportunities. Plus the affiliation with the club is obvious.

Has already said his not ready for a head coaching role and feels he has unfinished business with Racing.
Also with Foley I think O'Gara would find it difficult to step into the role this soon. Think all locals want a bit of time in between.

GUYS. HE'S A FIRST YEAR COACH OF A SIDE THAT FAILED TO MAKE FINALS IN A RIGGED MICKEYMOUSE COMPETITION.
GET A GRIP.

Can't speak for everyone.. But i rate him as a coach because he took a playing group and had them playing above their reputation and beating teams with bigger budgets, more resources, friendlier travel schedules and better players. I also rate him because their was an obvious improvement in the skills of the players throughout the year, something which Gibson, Larkham, Stiles, McGahan, Grey haven't achieved this year. I think its a bit dramatic to claim that people think he is the best coach in Australia, but what he has demonstrated is quite a bit of potential which is something in itself to be excited about.

RE: Wessels.........
Next year would've been the determining factor.........
Link, White and Cheika all had major improvements in the teams they took over in their first year and they all reached the grand final the following year.........
If Wessels had've taken the Force to the GF next year I think there would be no doubt about his coaching credentials, but at the least he made improvements in the Force in his first year there.........

Is that the only measure of success, reaching the grand final in the second year of coaching a team?

There was word earlier in the year that he was being chased by the Kiwis.......... His Dad represented in NZ in league, and he grew up playing that sport in NZ before coming back to Canberra and moving to rugby.............. I wouldn't be surprised if he's always had the dream to represent the AB's, and now that he's been given the opportunity to go over there he's taken it.

He was signed with the Rebels for 2018 but has just signed a contract to play for the Hurricanes from 2019. He asked for and was given an early release. A top, young talent lost to the Darkness.
