    Lukhan Tui has legally changed his name to Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to honour his late stepfather.

    @jegga So no message, just platitudes about expecting to win all their matches. What a waste of electrons.

    I'd suggest it's more of an indictment on the SMH's editorial standards...

    There's reports that there is a high profile former Wallaby on Jake White's coaching team - if I had to guess I would say it would be Glen Ella.

    https://www.theroar.com.au/2018/11/29/wallabies-weighing-up-white-stuff-report/

    RA chief executive Raelene Castle and fellow board members will speak to World Cup-winning former Springboks and Brumbies coach White via a phone hook-up on Thursday to test the waters should they opt to sack Cheika, according to News Corp Australia.

    Would it not be Larkham?

    @hooroo I assumed they meant from outside the current coaching team

    Perhaps as a skills coach he'd add immediate value. His damning assessment of the Wallabies was they didn't have the skills to play anything but direct.

    Good test of Krusty’s integrity when he says he doesn’t need this job. His employer is openly canvassing to replace him. Just a touch humiliating.

    Only someone with an established reputation like White or a rank outsider would take this role it’s the kind of hospital pass that can permenantly damage your career.

    @kiwimurph pretty interesting they are considering sacking him, well openly considering it at least.

    Guess they wanna sign someone first, then push him out the door.

    Can't come as a surprise, but I still don't see what this will achieve, apart from further damaging their financial position. White won't come cheap and his game plan is remarkably restricted.

    @antipodean on the flip side it is a game plan that can be embedded in a short period of time.

    And is a game plan at least one RWC cycle out of date. I'd contend that they'd not get out of their pool playing that way.
