Wallabies 2023

He could probably coach Eddie... in the art of man-management.

Ewen was always the better manager, Jones is a technical coach.
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 info

Not sure there’s any good forwards coaches available, surely just picks one of the Super coaches, good news is that at least Cron and Thorn would be specialist forwards coaches too.

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)

Love Petrus as an individual and player but not certain he's a huge loss as a coach.
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.

be interesting to see if Eddie can find his McKenzie 2003 equivalent assistant as he'll need it to replicate those heights again.

Must be nice to be considered great at 38%

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.

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.

As in Harrison for forwards coach? Agree with Hoiles needs to do more of an apprenticeship, Heenan did a decade before a Super Rugby call up
