@Kiwiwomble Oh mate, and now is best time, you think it will be easier less stressful in the coming season

But good on you , it's the like of people like you that keeps our great game going around the world!
And for that reason you and the likes of NTA and others who involved in community game (wherever in world etc) have my appreciation, did it for many years and understand the work/time invoved.
So Thanks !

@Machpants between Cameron Clyne and Hamish McLennan, RA has not exactly been a centre of excellence...

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.

Anyone fancy applying?

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.

If all it takes is talking shit and leading the team to embarrassing new lows in terms of losses like Eddie did then I reckon I’d make the shortlist at least.

Except there are no Aussie coaches to fill this role.

If they reappoint cheika they're quite frankly insane. Larkham isn't ready. Palmer Mackellar might be tempted back from Leicester but again: ready?

Laurie Fisher isn't a head coach but would make a great assistant.

So, who?

Help urgently wanted: A new Wallabies coach to take on the Lions

Expressions of interest for the Wallabies role ended on Friday after decorated Ireland coach Andy Farrell was unveiled as the man to lead the Lions to Australia in 2025.

New coach should be appointed around the time SR starts.

Schmidt seems to be the favourite
