    Stranger things have happened. Though I'm more likely to enter the coaching ranks, I think.

    @Duluth If nothing else it looks like he's building a professional culture there.

    Wallabies in the dark on Super rest weeks

    Bernard Foley wants clarity around plans to rest him and fellow Wallabies from Super Rugby games ahead of this year's Rugby World Cup.

    It is understood Rugby Australia has begun discussions with coaches of the four franchises about resting their Wallabies players for multiple games this season. The move, designed to keep the Wallabies fresh for September's showpiece in Japan, mirrors a policy that has worked effectively for many years for two-time defending world champions New Zealand.

    My point was the super season has almost started and 'talks have begun', and star Wallabies have no idea when, or even if, they'll be rested. NZ SR teams know exactly what is happening, and have been able to plan for that since last year.

    ""Hopefully, there is a plan and we're not just playing it by ear," Foley said. "There needs to be a balance around the amount of football we play and getting the right amount of rest."

    Hopefully? Fucking awful

    Really? I like this bit more:

    Newly appointed Director of Rugby Scott Johnson has been added to the set-up alongside coach Michael Cheika after the Wallabies slipped to sixth in the world following a disastrous 2018 Test season.

    But Foley said there was no talk of the new structure, or whether under-pressure assistant coaches Stephen Larkham, Nathan Grey, Simon Raiwalui and Michael Byrne would remain in their posts for the main event.

    Yeah I'd hope Scott J could sort this shit out, but I'm not following you - do you think it's OK for RA to not have sorted yet Wallabies rest times for the SR season yet? Like Cheika asking for Pocock etc to be rested a week before the game? That's OK or do you think it's pretty poor? I think it is unprofessionalism of the first order

    @Machpants Of course it's unprofessional - the players have no idea what's going on.

    Wallabies great Stephen Larkham has been made the fall guy for the Wallabies woes, and he didn't mince words about his differences with Michael Cheika.

    @booboo that's a good move. He's getting by on his reputation as a player, not as a coach.

    Pfft, you're forgetting all those awesome tries the backs scored for the Brumbies. The ones where they joined the mauls...
