Here you go.
Fair and balanced Daily Telegraph (paywall).
If he had any credibility at any stage he doesn't any more:
The Wallabies are always looking for NRL players to switch codes, but why not league’s best coaches?
It’s a little-known secret that Wayne Bennett was once asked if he would consider coaching the Wallabies and he gave it some serious consideration before deciding to stick with league.
But what about Ricky Stuart, who played for the Wallabies? He’d been a sensation. Or Craig Bellamy? Or Trent Robinson? Rugby Australia should not be putting any limits on finding the right person.

I genuinely think I'd wet myself from laughter if the ARU got a league coach with no experience in rugby.

i would pay enormous amounts of money to watch a Ricky Stuart press conference after a losing Wallaby test with even one contentious refereeing decision in it

He's a former Wallaby so does not meet @antipodean's criteria.
But agree wholeheartedly. Chieka and Rennie are amateurs in comparison.

The fact the Dave Rennie is not under pressure does my head in
They were flogged tonight. As they have been a lot.
Yes he's developing youth. And last week was actually really good.
But no wallaby coach in my life time, especially a kiwi, has been able to get away with a half decent performance every couple of games
All whole plunging down the rankingsAre you David Campese?
"Wallabies coach Dave Rennie should be under more pressure, writes David Campese"
Argentina should not have been in a position where they could beat our national team by 30 points. We have slipped to seventh in the world rankings and surely Rennie should be coming under some pressure.

As just one example I've never seen NSW rugby in the doldrums like it was a couple of years ago. Just awful.
Whether it's player development, problem with the comps below Super level, the player and coaching exodus or what — something's not right with Australian rugby at it's core. Rennie can't be blamed for that.

@Daffy-Jaffy wonder why no 2022 figures, wonder if they kept that small upward trajectory
