Good article, Spiro.
Any suggestions on who might take over?
David Nucifora seemed to have issues with players at Brumbies and the Wallabies, and also at Auckland. What explains his success at Ireland?

To save the Wallabies, Clyne, Castle and Cheika must go

The rot in the Wallabies seems to have started with the bunch that included Beale, AAC and James O’Connor (and maybe Drew Mitchell). A bunch of mildly talented but over-rated players whose performances never quite justified the hype surrounding them.

Bringing back AAC was a mistake, and not even in hindsight. All it did was probably cause resentment in the ranks, and for a player that somehow won a bagful of caps for no good reason I can remember.

Women in the room until 10.30 may not seem like a big deal but I remember that past Wallabies teams made a huge deal about someone wearing a wrong shirt or not putting on the jacket at breakfast or tough protocol things like that. But those teams won more than they lost.

Beale and Ashley-Cooper stood down after breaching team protocol

Reckon it was a good decision to drop Beale. Might be just the kick he needs to get his A game back. He’s been coasting for the past few years.

Pocock to play, Beale excluded from Wallabies lineup
