I wouldn't call the wording particularly harsh or veiled either, particularly Rennie's words. Reads to me like a battle with illness or something longer-term for him or his family that's come to a head. Regardless, best wishes to him.
Personally I don’t.
I don't think he'll be the next great 10, but I think he's the best we've got at the moment - why let perfect get in the way of good?
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it's very odd timing to pull out, sounds like they reached an impasse in Argentina.
Yeah could be but the same outcome/process. Just not buying it's purely personal reasons and nothing rugby related.
Probably being selfish as a Tahs fan, but I'd like to see some stability in their coaching group for the next couple of years, including Gilmore. He's done great work with Aus A as well.
Given what we've seen with Hooper, Meg Lanning, etc, I'd hate for a sacking to be dressed up as "personal reasons". But I certainly imagine the second Argentina game brought everything to a head.
I saw it differently Joe. He struck me as a guy who would take it to the line if the opp showed and pass or kick if not, he's quick and pulled a centre? down from behind after he had a big start on him in Super Rugby. His D is good and I agree a couple of his kicks in play were wayward but his goal kicking was solid as was his support play.
He has not had a run for a while probably. Just getting some game time no doubt.
