Why would Fisher make a good Head Coach? - he didn't make the finals in four years as HC with the Brumbies and hasn't done anything as the current HC at Gloucester. He also struggled at Munster as forwards coach and was basically shown the door. From what I gather he has one short stint as an assistant to Jake White where the Brumbies lost the Super final but it seems he is the Messiah? Am I missing something?
He's obviously just a very naughty boy...... (No messiah quote can be let past without such a MP (Moana Pasifika) reference)
Technically Fischer was a very good forwards coach and the Brumbies in those years you mentioned were well turned out in terms of forwards play. They were deficient in terms of back play however. As for making the finals with White, I'd put that down to the limitations of the White plan as much as anything else.
I am not convinced that Stiles has done as well with the Reds forwards this year as away from the set piece I have thought them pretty ordinary, and even the set piece has been wobbly against the better sides.
