    Dave Rennie is the front runner, apparently.

    I think he would be a great choice. Unassuming, humble, clearly has ability and is a winner. Won't be a dick like Dingo was, a breath of fresh air. Isn't he contracted in Scotland?

    Rennie could also continue on with the ref whinging like he did with the Chiefs. Not sure if he's been like that since he moved off shore.

    The problem for any coach is the issues are deeper than they can address in a Wallaby camp.

    And a number of senior/ good players are leaving so there's not a lot in the cupboard to build around.

    Having said that, any coach would be an improvement on Crusty.

    is there even a chance he might not leave, ridiculous if there is. He should be shown the door, last night highlighted so many errors in the Aussie game, some half decent tactics and Aussie had a good shot at winning last night.

    Wasnt there talk he should go prior to 2015?

    This team could be so much more than what it is.

    If it wasn't Australia I could possibly feel sorry for you, because I agree.

    Some really good players (Beale is great) but there is no cohesion. I guess the modern term would be culture, but something is going wrong.

    He said if he didn't win the cup he would go, several times. So he's gone.

    Although I remember Foolau saying if he was every hurting rugby he'd also go....

    Genia was fucking shit this RWC. Has been ever since he got back from France bar a couple of games where he looked better than shit

    Just astonishing that any coach would select a player that so obviously tales time and space away from his team. Especially if you want to start with urgency.

    If you think Genia cost Australia this match perhaps you should heed Darryl Kerrigan's advice

    Why is Englands game plan devoid of usingb2 of their weapons: Watson and Tuilagi? The latter was pretty much anonymous for most of the game.

    Because he was playing out of position on offence and covering both inside and outside centre on defence.

    Should have gotten a double win bonus.

    He certainly didn't add to their attacking repertoire did he?

    Beale was equal proportion the solution and the problem.

    A better coach would have harnessed him or jettisoned him.

    Of course.

    But that's not why Australia lost.

    He did his job and whilst slow, was pretty much error free.

    Others gifted the match to England.

    Fair call. Raw talent that has been wasted to an extent.

    Cheika will go, of that there is very little doubt. We are also losing (through retirement) Genia, Pocock, Kepu.

    The future is pretty bright. The new coach will inherit a talented squad, depth in the pack, and an ability to put good teams away when they get it right.

    A few relatively minor tactical adjustments (eg. not running it off our own fucking line), and I think things will start to turn around.

    Of course.

    If your forwards and backline are consistently getting hit behind the gainline because the halfback is delaying passes, you're not on the road to winning. His play actively hampered the Wallabies. The difference was immediately noticeable when White came on.

    But that's not why Australia lost.

    But feel free to continue this argument of yours that no one else is having.

    Because the White in shining armour made such a difference

    Still got Hooper signed for four more years tho

    But yes, a coach open to change and pragmatism will make a massive difference. Cheika is like pocock, a one trick pony.
