I honestly can't see any universe where Steve Hansen would accept an ongoing role in Australian Rugby.

It's a dead heat between the dropped lasagne and the burning wheelie bin for me.

I can see @Merrow 's point though, you want both. Not every kid is going to go pro, but you want to retain them as part of your supporter base.

I don't think it is. Considering the length of his contract and the fact that Rugby Australia probably wouldn't be able to pay him out, I don't think they were in any position to be able to issue an ultimatum such as that one. If he'd wanted to stay, he could have easily dug his heels in and...

It's this part here that that annoys me the most. There just doesn't seem to be any clear rules of engagement with regards to the bunker. I'm certain that a few onfield refs wouldn't be particularly pleased about constant interruptions from the bunker either.

Hansen would never coach Australia.

Are you just throwing random names out there now in the hope that something will stick?

If it's between those two I would absolutely prefer McKellar.

Found a link to the sequence here. Was a really marginal call, you can see the separation in the replay, but would have been very hard to pick up in real time.

I reckon we should blame that bloke actually. If he had never called Eddie a traitor, Eddie might not have been compelled to come back as coach.

So let's kick off by speculating who would take the poison chalice if Eddie goes? My bet is Bernie that would be sacrificed.

Yep, time to go Eddie. He clearly doesn't want to be here. For those of us that suffered through the 2007 Reds, this is deja vu.

I hope they treat it like a Barbarians game. 10 man rugby wouldn't be the right tactic here.

And that's fine, but he should be more transparent about it.

It would explain some of Eddie's selections and tactics if he was speaking to Campo. I'm not keen on the lack of transparency here. How is this being translated to the players? Are they aware of what the selection process is and what the requirements for selection are?

Yep, we get it. You don't like super rugby. What's the alternative for now?

Well, considering all the recent chat in the thread, I suggest we kick the Waratahs out of Super Rugby and they can devolve to the Shute Shield. Then there would be enough space in the draw for the remaining Aussie teams to comfortably play each other twice. It's the only way.
