Apparently Eddie's first talk with JRFU was them getting him to tell their recruitment company about the Japan head coach role, same not an interview.
Recruitment company "So, Eddie-sama, what does this position need?"
E " maaaaaate, it really needs some one who knows the Japanese culture. Can fit in. Like saying maaaaaate all the time. Maaaaaate"
RC " good info, what else?"
E " maaaaaate, they need someone who promises the rising sun, maaaaaate, but actually gives them a burning pile of paper wrapped dogshit left on the doormat. Maaaaaate"
RC" and?"
E" they gotta change the goal posts, rant at the media, drop any player that might stand up to them, blow the budget, and then blame it on their employer & entire country"
RC "arigato"
E"you probably need to pay them a shit load to"
RC "maaaaaate" -

Indeed. But with Lions then RWC x 2 coming up, you really gotta hope AR don't fuck this golden goose. Huge opportunities, hopefully not squandered on league players.

I think they are more likely to choose an Aussie as Head Coach and Joe as an assistant coach and use him in a similar way the All Blacks did.
Except there are no Aussie coaches to fill this role.
If they reappoint cheika they're quite frankly insane. Larkham isn't ready.
PalmerMackellar might be tempted back from Leicester but again: ready?Laurie Fisher isn't a head coach but would make a great assistant.
So, who?
