The problem for Coleman at the Tahs is the same as almost every coach who has taken that job: he’s coaching soft private school boys against opposition teams who are often a bunch of street fighters. They get bashed. Coleman is a good coach. I can’t think of anyone who would do better. But it sounds like one of the old boys is being lined up to take over from him. That’s why Aus rugby is such a basket case.

Eddie said he needed to bring through the next generation and blood them at the highest level. He did that, and as he said, it will be the next coach who reaps the benefits.

Yes. Every generation tries to shock the one that came before it. And is Usually successful.

Wallabies are where the All Blacks were in 2007 - it's time to look in the mirror or risk more embarrassment
Ha ha! When you get to my age that’s the last thing you worry about. In case you didn’t notice I am rowing in the opposite direction to almost everyone on this site … hardly a sycophant, cabin boy.

This is an excellent article. Given the narrow-minded self-interest of the so-called stake-holders, there is little hope for Australian rugby. The only real chance would be to sell a stake in RA to the NRL, otherwise look forward to another 20 years of under-performance and disasters. I can’t watch it any more.

Oh yes white people are racially oppressed.
RWC News: Bongi set to play final despite WR investigation, Boks and All Blacks react to racist slur allegations
His race is not in the majority or a position of power in England, or France, or the world. Maybe in SA it would be different.., I don’t know if whites are now racially oppressed there … but almost all of the blacks live in the slums while the whites still live in relative prosperity and it has been one of the worst examples of White inflected racial oppression in history. It would be a bit rich for the whites now to claim they are racially oppressed! The complaint is absurd and England would do well to withdraw it.

An enduring memory was his on-screen bust-up with motorsport presenter and rather large man, Mike Raymond, who DL introduced with the line “Mike Raymond has just pulled up a couple of chairs”. Raymond was not impressed and sparks were flying but DL was chuckling away with his irrepressible cheeky grin.
