Just had a vision of HMac trotting out a press conference with a 8 year contract for Ian Foster.

It's pretty common place for companies who fly workers to let the worker choose when to fly back ie they send you to a city on Monday for work, you can fly back on Sunday night.I dont want to sound petty, we all love a free airfare for a european holiday but arnt teams suppose to leave after being eliminated from the World cup. We see images of Portugal returning home as a team in full kit. All the wallabies seem to have stayed on in Europe. Im sure theres lots of reasons like family and friends there etc but really we send them off as a team. Im sure senior ARU executives have stayed on for really really important meetings too! Is Jones the only one back so he can pack? Has Mondays press conference been called by Rugby Au or jones personally ??
No time given that I am aware ofWhat time is EJ (Eddie Jones) (Eddie Jones)'s presser tomorrow?

Say what? How do you announce a presser & not tell the journos what time the nosh comes out?
Probably a bit dependant on whether Eddie wants any sort of centralisation or some specific flavour. I can't see them being too happy about him resting players from their lineups on a whim, for example.So what I’ve heard is he’ll leave if the states don’t agree to centralisation. So the interview his just him covering his bases.
do you reckon the states want him to stay or would be happy to see him go?
So by putting forward an ultimatum that is looking unlikely to happen (at least in it's entirety) based on all the comments coming out of the various state unions he sets up his narrative for bowing out?...So what I’ve heard is he’ll leave if the states don’t agree to centralisation. So the interview his just him covering his bases.

...I guess it depends on the shape as you say.Probably a bit dependant on whether Eddie wants any sort of centralisation or some specific flavour. I can't see them being too happy about him resting players from their lineups on a whim, for example.
Otherwise though I think they probably want stability and certainty going forward, so all other things being equal they'd be inclined to see him stay.
Might be diff in nz but generally the media will get notified 2 hours before over here for unscheduled press conferences
I think it all comes from Jones' comments when he returned to Australia - this is the specific quote:I don't wanna be a dick about it but how is it "unscheduled" when everyone knows it's happening, just not at what time? Seems peculiar, even for EJ (Eddie Jones) (Eddie Jones) and/ or Rugby Australia (still not sure who's presser it actually is).
"Meeting with Rugby (Australia). I will speak to the media on Monday but I am committed to Australia"
I have been told that despite the criticism of him in the media and on here, the players generally all love him. Both Australian and Argentinian ones. If someone has evidence that disputes that I am all ears.Well Chieka has just taken a side to the Semis at least. Beat Australia in Australia as well.
I don’t support it as I think we’ve been there and had or hit of Chieka and thanks for the Tahs title and the WC final but he’s chaos I don’t think we need.
