Wallabies 2024

[Derpus]

The Irony is the same people demanding he is fired today will be the ones calling him a traitor if he leaves

Its not ironic in the slightest. He should not have interviewed for a job before the world cup and he should fuck off given how badly he did at the work cup.

You’ve never met a point you didn’t miss

I suggest Eddie's exit has 2007 Reds coach written all over it. Eddie is first - the rest of the players, admin and supporters are a very distant 2nd.

MacKellar I’d take, I’d be weary of Schmidt considering how poorly it ended in Ireland, how much the team has improved after he left and not exactly glowing comments from his former players

Andy Friend can be an assistant, but hes no where near qualified enough for the top job

Really, I think Schmidt left Ireland in a better place then when he started, yes they failed at the quarter finals. But the Wallabies could use his attention to detail.

If Eddie is set to quit, which is looking more and more likely, the big question now is what sort of non-compete clause did they put in his contract that'll mean Japan will need to buy it out?

There is zero chance they put in a non-compete clause. Eddie would have never signed that. If im wrong I'll eat my hat

I wouldn't say that is 'also'. Its just multiple people sharing the same japanese news. It's not like a new, original source that corroborates the story.

A couple of points. Firstly, to state the obvious, this has been a fark up of the highest proportions. Secondly, if Eddie decides to jump, RA should let him go. Thirdly, I doubt that Joe Schmidt would be interested.

My pick, out of left field, is Simon Cron.

Larkham is 100% getting Pivacced

I'm pretty certain Schmidt isn't looking for any HC roles and really only accepted greater involvement in the AB's because Foster was such a disaster.

With Vern Cotter at the Blues, he'll probably get his coaching fix there as a assistant/consultant, or whatever. Or maybe some background work with NZR.

...well if he has a taste for disasters.

That sounds exactly like something you could say about Eddie just before he got the Wallabies job

He's bitter about not getting the AB's gig, so anything is possible

I think Cron is the best of the coaches based in Australia.

It would take a huge leap from RA to go that route. From Cron also.

I think the first targets would be McKellar & Larkham being established brands in Rugby and coaching in Aus.

Imagine if they gave Rennie a call since he's still on the books. I shouldn't laugh.

If the rumour mill is true - does this make McLennan's position untenable?

You'd have to think so, it was billed as his captain's pick and he was out there crowing about it as much as he could when he thought it was a coup for Australian rugby, so it only follows he needs to take responsibility for the failure. Off the back of this in addition to the failure to find private equity funding it's hard to see how he could stay in his post.

Was it not before?

The Oz would gladly promote any theory that suggests Rugby Australia is on fire, while hosing petrol onto it.
