but JB, none of the on-field or coaching stuff you take issue with there is of O'Neill's doing. Yes, he hired Robbie Deans, and yes, he possibly prematurely extended him before the RWC, but he has sacked coaches in the past, so I'm sure he'd do the same if needed again. Rubbish rugby, as you put it, is not the fault of administrators, and to be completely fair, it's not even necessarily the fault of coaches (rubbish game plans are another story). What's undeniable though, is that O'Neill has - in two seperate stints - saved Australian Rugby from imploding, despite its best efforts. I can't see how managing to prevent a body from shooting itself in the foot once, and arriving back in time to see it taking aim for the other foot can be seen as a disaster. To go back to his former trade, had O'Neill twice performed such miracles on a seemingly suicidal bank, he'd be in line for the biggest series of bonuses in the history of fat bonues..
