Speaking of international coaches who will coach anywhere, what is John Mitchell doing?
Red Roses I think
Yes, he is currently in New Zealand with the team (as an observer) before he takes up new role at the end of this tournament.

Strong in this one is the cognitive dissonance
Eddie Jones 'not at all' interested in British and Irish Lions job
Ex-England and Australia head coach Eddie Jones has ruled himself out of contention for the vacant British and Irish Lions role.

In other news Machpants has also ruled himself out of coaching the lions. He was understood to be slightly preferred to Eddie in the lions role

Yes, but you're not a shit-bag charlatan.

Oh, and if you want an illustration of how fucked rugby is in Australia, and why it's actually going to die
I registered my 12 year old son for his 2 month season up here. $90
That came with a breakdown.
$5 went to his club
Much much more was the QRU and ARU levy. 12 year olds are paying to prop up elite rugby, not the other way around.Compare that to league and AFL and wonder where kids are going to play
Jeez, that's outrageous.
I checked locally and it's £75 for a whole, 8 month season, with £40-ish going to the club and the rest going to the RFU and insurance

Wonder if RA look at Mick Byrne as a coach for Wallabies? Doing good job with Drua, been involved with ABs and Wallabies and apparently an incredible rugby brain.
Yes, yes, all very impressive. But does Hamish McLennan like his ability to pull headlines?

Justin Harrison is a plague - the king of corporate buzzwords who is also head of RUPA and a Stan Commentator on the review panel - that will go well.
Recommendation #1: Give more money to players.

He certainly has, inadvertantly.

Nice of him to confirm it. Given apparently the RFU wouldn't be seen dead with him anyway
Lions are not part of the RFU, but I doubt Iuean Evans (from shit little Wales) would be keen on him either
Yes I know that, but when 30% of your base* won't touch him, good luck getting the others to agree.
*Let's face it: Scotland are like 15%, Ireland 30%, and Wales 25%

He’s also a plank according to Austin Healy and he likes throwing medals away
