    He was brought on board to oversee selections and make sure Cheika wasn't going off on a tangent (mission: failed). At the same time, he became a selector. Apparently.

    Just another example of rugby's failures here: lack of desire to look the problem in the face.

    yea, pretty much this. Not sure how you can conduct a review of a system you were in the middle of.

    Time to ‘smash the wheel’. Why Wallabies crisis can’t end with Michael Cheika’s exit

    Time to ‘smash the wheel’. Why Wallabies crisis can’t end with Michael Cheika’s exit

    One of Australian rugby’s most respected voices, Rod Kafer, believes Michael Cheika shouldn’t be the only person held accountable for the Wallabies’ Rugby World Cup quarter-final exit and that sweeping changes to the Rugby Australia board must be made.

    The same Rod Kafer who was appointed to a senior position developing elite coaches but has delivered precisely jack shit.

    The only bright light in Aussie Rugby right now is our U20 program and expansion of women's rugby. Neither of which have guaranteed long-term prospects given the back office is a basket case.

    Kafe has managed to teflon his way out of this, as everyone forgot he had an actual job.

    Justin Harrison speaks pretty well for a dude i though was a deadshit. He was pretty much spot on yesterday. The whole thing needs to be broken down, from school up. Looking at the Wallaby coaching structure is titanic deckchairs stuff

    Googy is a pretty smart guy (for a second rower with a coke problem 😉 ) and has existed outside the Sydney bubble long enough to see the massive systemic flaws.

    He's simply angling for a better job. His mate Kearns is doing the same:

    Kearns added that he would accept an invitation to be involved in the review.
    “I’d be involved in the review absolutely.

    The author is having a lend calling Kafer a "respected rugby voice". Any credibility he had disappeared years ago.
