Actually, in his correction It is what it is said something that wasn't what it was. Dublin is in Leinster, not Leinster in Dublin.
I hesitate to disagree with the remainder of your post.

It is what it is

It's Round 3 of the "Sawing Saw Dust Competition" and I put forward to the honourable judge that the said defendant Mr Ross was referring, at all times to the Rugby team, not the province...hence Leinster is in Dublin.
In addition I am able to proffer a local survey where 107.18% of respondents agreed that this was the case.
The Crown rests its case.

Yep just proves Burke is a tool who should never be read. Even if you take Padova out, he's been in Europe between Leinster & Stade for 7 years if memory serves and took a bunch of underperforming prima donna's into one of the premier sides in Europe.
It was interesting to hear him use the "cappucino culture" line about Leinster in his rugby club interview it was massively true wonder what parrallels he sees with the Waratahs side.
Excited about the next 3 years. He WILL turn it around given the support at board level but just hope that people don't expect it to be next season.
It's going to be a very interesting season for those Tah's players who are either perennial under achievers or constantly injured. Could be make or break...

What's that you were saying Allen?

They really should have come under more criticism for their conservative, 'safety first' approach.

Chieka has sacked Greg Mumm from the coaching staff.

Scotty Bowen also seems to be out of a spot, true ?

No word yet. But Cheika is doing his own review and has last say on all appointments re coaching and training staff apparantly.

Bowen has to go, by all accounts he and foley teamed up and tried to out Gaffney including separating him from decision making. If they both go fine but Bowen has had time, he has failed.

I heard that the new Wallabies s & c bloke said if he had anyone to replace him it would be the Waratahs guy.

This post can be read at least two ways:
- If I was to go, the Waratahs bloke should replace me. If this is the meaning then the Wallabies S&C guy should be terminated (preferably with extreme prejudice). The Tahs S&C this year was absolutely abysmal!
- If the Wallabies guy had someone of high standard, then he would immediately move to put him at the Tahs (in a hypothetical sort of way). Watching the Tahs this year this alternative at least fits the history, though it's more of a stretch grammatically.

If overtime he does or they both get the punt. Who takes over the franchise moving forward, only weeks prior to the start of pre-season training ?

In addition to rugby, I watch a lot of NFL. Two years ago, my team -- the 49ers -- were one of the worst in football but did have very good players in a number of positions. Before last season, they brought in a new coach but very few new players. They went from the cellar to 13-3 and one game away from the Super Bowl. The Niners story emphasizes the difference quality coaching can make. The Reds and Brumbies show something similar.
What we're seeing so far from Cheika is decisive movement in the right direction. For the first time in years I'm optimistic about the Tahs leadership. I don't know if this season will be much of a success (and I certainly don't expect a sudden, huge turnaround) but I do hope we start seeing the coaching maximizing the potential of the talent.

yeah, this year highlighted what happens when everyone isn't rowing the same way.
The cattle are there to be a competitive side, just not the winning side until we find a quality 10.

Thanks for bringing up the 49ers, Richo. Their turnaround has been inspiring, and I'm definitely hoping the Tahs can take a leaf from their book. Perhaps Berrick could be the Tahs' Alex Smith - a talented playmaker who never quite reached his potential until he was coached by someone who could give him a very clear gameplan and structure that worked to his strengths.
