More 'Scary Schmidt' than 'Sleepy Joe': Ireland tales that show the new Wallabies coach could be a polarising figure
Joe Schmidt achieved much of his success by making Eddie Jones look like a Pomeranian, with his coaching methods reported as tough, unpleasant and even brutal.
There is a distinction though isn’t there. McLennan being bad doesn’t make the Rebels good.
My point, which I’ve made repeatedly since the RWC is that the game wasn’t going to magically repair itself when Hamish and Eddie moved on. Way too much time was spent obsessing over those two when huge other stuff needed ventilation.
UPDATE: RA say they were blindsided over Rebels' finances, reject private consortium claim as administrator backs club's survival
