Really?
Four years after Eddie left he took them to the RWC QF's after topping the pool, beating Ireland and Scotland.
They also had some narrow losses to Australia and New Zealand.

My feeling is that you need someone who is completely disconnected from the Australian Rugby scene, and ideally with enough backing to completely ignore any requests of the establishment other than on field performance. Anything else will be more of the same of the past 15 years with a "not powerful enough" foreigner forced to play diplomat or a compromised domestic option.

There is absolutely no chance France will ever hire a non-French coach.

Was joking about Fozzie, would be awful.
How about Simon Raiwalui though?

confirmed he has a job in Aus but nothing to do with RA sadly.
Would love his humbleness after Cheika and EJ (Eddie Jones) (and Fozzie, Rassie). Fiji lost to England, could've won, could've complained but copped it.

Gatland is good at simplifying a game plan for a limited team

Are you just throwing random names out there now in the hope that something will stick?

It's the same process in mud throwing - throw enough and something will stick

The more i think if it. Jake White should be a top option. Reading his Wikipedia, he was pushed out of South African rugby due to politics. But as a coach , he was excellent.

Mckellar concerns me a bit, as does Larkham. Both were less then inspiring with brumbies. (who gives AF about winning SRau), both were wallaby assistants in periods where their portfolios struggled, and both haven;t reportedly set the world on fire in the UK. Is it sentiment driving their viability for the role?
Rugby Australia needs a Frank Lowy to do what he did for Australian Football. Bring all the stakeholders together, TELL them what is going to happen, how it's going to happen and time frame it's going to happen ( we know this cause the Brit Lions and next WC ) and get rid of who ever does not want to do it. Basically a Dictatorship with professional people around him. Centralisation, Pyramid style.
One person is Mr Forrest of the mining profession. Has lots of monay, lots of govt influence and lots of time now that he is divorced ( may need a hobbie). He needs to get the right people ( business as well as ex players ), formulate a model for clubs, super rugby and Aus team etc and choose a coach. Coach should be from a recently, successful nation ie. Ireland, SA or NZ. Hopefully they can influence some young Aus coaches to take over like Guss did with Arnie etc.
