Wallaby Coach after Joe

[fatprop]

Kiss has already been an assistant coach with Schmidt @ Ireland, I would guess they have solid relationship that will help in the transition

Noah's comment about not knowing who the coach is going to be is pretty silly now (TBF he didn't know and had to make a call).
In ironic circumstances he's actually walking away from coaching stability.

Sometimes it's best to say nothing at all. He's played under what 3 different Wallaby coaches in 4 years.

I don't think anyone has hard feelings about a guy who gets a great offer elsewhere. Feels like a nervous comment made to appease people but is anyone really dirty on him?

Obviously it's been discussed at length, but if the general public has known that Kiss was basically locked in for a couple of months, I'm sure Noah had an even clearer picture. Fairly obvious that it was disingenuous reasoning on his part, or just a throwaway line that's been blown up.

The trial by media over the next two SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) seasons is going to be very interesting.

The timing of the annoucement doesn't do Kiss any favours. Reds are heading to Fiji to play the Drua which is traditionally a bloody hard place to win.

But the media won't care about those details, I can see the headlines now if they lose - "New Wallabies coach club side DEFEATED by bottom of the ladder side".

I think it will generally be ok. Unless the Reds fall off a cliff which I think is highly unlikely given their roster it'll be fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are any falters if the headlines of the Wallabies job being a distraction to the Reds take hold on sites like The Roar but that's a Rugby circles only type headline as the general public couldn't give a shit about Super Rugby.

Believe me, I've tried.

I definitely believe that.

I definitely believe that.

I love ya boss. Uppa the Wallabies and uppa Les Kiss.

Not to be that guy, but I did post back in mid-2024 that my RA moles told me Kiss would be inserted into the Wallabies coaching group for the BIL tour in a shadow role and transfer to HC over time.

And some of you muppets called me out on it! Well suck my nuts boys, Phil knows all.

Thanks for leaking that to us PhilWaughClinton
