RFU finally conclude..............................

........the MJ ain't got a clue!

I reckon there'll be a mult-fart clearout now at HQ since I can't see either of those two candidates taking any job without some pretty extensive powers to hire and fire the team they want.

Geez, the author made a couple of glaring mistakes in his summary of Jake White. Rudolph Strauli (sp.?) was responsible for Camp Staaldrad and White has only started with the Brumbies in recent times, not the four years alluded to in the article. The RFU seems to be plush with money maybe someone can convince them to poach Robbie Deans from the Wallabies.

Mr Mallett should be the new head honcho - however, they'd need to clear out all the old farts, especially Rob Andrew, the snake

That'd shake the RFU up!

John Kirwan - really? I like the guy, and think he's a good coach, but surely he's a bit of a lightweight for this position (so far).

Doubt it, he hasn't exactly done much in his reign in Japan. You would think a country with a very professional set up and plenty of money would be able to put away sides like Tonga and Canada.

Didn't Japan win the pacific nations cup this year? Seems a pretty good effort

Yeah, but I think it's fair to say they've regressed slightly since 2007. Which does not suggest that the coach responsible is capable of completely overhauling the culture and fortunes of English rugby.

They'd be better off trying to get someone like Wayne Smith, if they want a foreigner. I'm sure they could pay off the Chiefs.
