Can't come as a surprise, but I still don't see what this will achieve, apart from further damaging their financial position. White won't come cheap and his game plan is remarkably restricted.
-
@antipodean on the flip side it is a game plan that can be embedded in a short period of time.
-
And is a game plan at least one RWC cycle out of date. I'd contend that they'd not get out of their pool playing that way.

Appointing jake white one year out from a World Cup ,
That sounds like desperation and panic to me .

they are desperate. the entire ARU model is based on top down. A successful Wallabies will lead to a successful "grass roots". The Wallabies are shit, and there are zero signs of improvement. 2018 started reasonably well, they really pushed Ireland and could have won that series, but the team has been in reverse since then.
A bad 2019, and an early World Cup exit, would be an absolute disaster. And it's a very real possibility.

@mariner4life got an email from the local minis rugby coordinator at
ParramattaWestern Sydney Two Blues, asking if we were interested in fielding minis this year. Unlikely. And even they admit there is a spiral for district junior rugby out here.We're fucked.

From the Fox Rugby Podcast:
In our final episode of 2018, Greg Martin offers his coaching dream team that could win the Wallabies the World Cup
Come on!
Maybe Retallick, Cane and Coles. Of course they would be player coaches.
Aside from that, no chance

Rugby Australia Hunting Coach Who'll Fix Every Systemic Problem Within Their Organisation - In 11 Months
"We aren't confident in Michael's ability to win the World Cup next year," said RA headĀ Raelene Castle.
Rugby Australia Hunting Coach Whoāll Fix Every Systemic Problem Within Their Organisation ā In 11 Months
ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact
The nationās peak rugby union body has announced this morning that theyāre on the lookout for a coach who will fix the myriad of cultural, structural and social problems that have plagued the organisation in recent years.
Under-siege Wallabies coach Micheal Cheika was all but guaranteed his job until next yearās World Cup but as heās not been able to rid Rugby Australia of its issues, Rugby Australia is on the hunt for a coach who will.
āWe arenāt confident in Michaelās ability to win the World Cup next year,ā said RA head Raelene Castle.
āSo he needs to go. We need a coach who will get us to the quarters or semis, where we will be comprehensively dismantled by Ireland or the All Blacks. That will take the pressure off the executive, which is ultimately responsible for the death of the sport over the past 20 years,ā
āWeāre also looking at getting whoever the new coach is some quality cattle. Weāre looking for the next Matt Rogers and Lote. Code jumpers should band-aid the problems for the time being. At the end of the day, if the executives and marketing shit kickers can keep their jobs and get another swirl of the toilet, thatās all that matters,ā
āAnd all this needs to happen in 11 months.ā
The Advocate reached out to the Players Association for comment but all were too afraid Hoops would find out.
More to come.
