I simply love sport. I spent 15 years umpiring cricket. In my younger days I played tennis, cricket and rugby. Yep I agree, most quite badly! I am very fond of horse racing and have previously been in a syndicate that owned dogs and horses. I know the highs and lows of owning these animals! I have a batting average of 2 but a bowling average of less than 18. I made the transition from pacey winger (100m in under 15secs) to flanker. Oh well! I have lived and worked in quite a few countries thanks to my work commitments but love Australia!

Cosgrove springs to mind. Churned out runs with a stand and deliver style! A bit like Inzy…

Oh well…I know you guys are going to pile into me here…but anyone who has “Wallabies Skills Coach” on their resume must be a comedian. We have had very little for years. The inability of our forwards to simply catch and pass have been…well. We have continually picked guys with “X” factor. It’s a great title…X of course being the unknown part of an equation.
Maybe I am a dinosaur (or Boomer as the kids like to say now) but we need to go back to basics! Forwards win matches, backs decide by what score. It is a beautiful simple game! Catch and pass.

Wise choice: Scott Wisemantel new attack coach as Wallabies confirm multiple appointments
