Simon Poidevin (60)
Does he have any interest in being involved in coaching?
He could probably coach Eddie... in the art of man-management.Does he have any interest in being involved in coaching?
I'll buy that. But don't think he's got any interest in coming back - at least I've heard that said here a few times, so someone has some infoHe could probably coach Eddie... in the art of man-management.
Ewen was always the better manager, Jones is a technical coach.
Simon Cron and Dan Palmer come on in!McKellar and Du Plessis have both resigned
Apparently Du Plessis was offered to stay but decided to move on.
News of du Plessis’ resignation comes as no surprise either, with the South African-born scrum coach never likely to survive once Rennie was shown the door.
Indeed, even before Rennie was cut adrift Rugby Australia were seriously considering axing him regardless.
Rennie is the winner to come out of this. Great Wallabies coach unfortunately hamstrung by poor assistants - unlike Eddie and Robbie who during their Wallabies tenures had two of Australia's best rugby minds (McKenzie and Nuicifora) as their assistant coaches.Love Petrus as an individual and player but not certain he's a huge loss as a coach.
John Mulvihill, Les Kiss and Andy Friend? Tate came out and said McKay has taken a step back so is he a chance for a different environment
Must be nice to be considered great at 38%Rennie is the winner to come out of this.

be interesting to see if Eddie can find his McKenzie 2003 equivalent assistant as he'll need it to replicate those heights again.
This is not going to be much help but there was a guy Eddie mentioned in his podcast last week who’s likely to be joining him coaching I think, can’t remember the name tho
Not sure about Hoiles at this stage. 1 year in MLR and now starting at Randwick which seems to be a revolving door of 1st grade coaches over the last few years.Gee I'd prefer to see Peter Breen come in for skills over BB (or even Gits over BB). Surely Palmer will come in for scrums.
Trying to think of other names maybe Hoiles (if they patch up their differences after that stunt a few years back)

Palmer seems like the obvious choice through availability and the chance this would give him to further his own development.
I'd thrown names out there like Justin Harrison before, but another might be Turinui who has some experience at Super Rugby level and many hold in high regard.
