Scott Wisemantel stands down as Wallabies assistant coach

The Wallabies have confirmed assistant coach Scott Wisemantel has resigned effective immediately.

Seems like a loss at this stage considering when the Wallabies aren't all falling over with injuries, the one thing they've been good at has been attack.

Rennie gets his wish!

In a roundabout way...

McLennan is the one who needs to be sacked. I thought that RA doesn't have any money?

There will always be a bit of money from someone in return for favours.

@antipodean Assualt?

@Bovidae Aussie spelling.

So much for the week of positive press for Aussie rugby

[mariner4life]

the "low hanging fruit" joke here is

Kurtley is trying to grab Eddie's attention by acting like an NRL player

Correct spelling here

Beale granted bail after being charged over alleged sexual assault

[Dan54]

@NTA Shit!!! The game doesn't need that as well as if it true I feel for the woman!

[Machpants]

"sexual intercourse without consent" is one of the charges. Isn't that rape?

Shitty PR to put a downer on the Eddie Jones coup

[game_film]

Most unbelievable thing about this is that Kurtley’s still getting paid (suspended, yes but has a contract) to play rugby in 2023. Remember that video of him with the old fella and the Charlie?

[Stargazer]

@game_film He is still getting paid, because he's considered innocent until proven guilty, and rightly so. If found guilty, he'll lose his job.

@Tim A good read.

McLennan is basically the CEO - Marinos is just his lap dog who does the dirty work.

I can't understand the shift to Jones - but little class in the way they went about it.

[game_film]

@Stargazer Didn’t mean it like that mate. I meant in 2023 Kurtley is still getting paid to play by Rugby Oz. Not in the legal sense, completely aside of that, but in the career sense.
