He's underrated as a coach. The 'Tahs, the 2015 WC final, his success with the Pumas. He's better than DC.

Add the Heineken Cup and the Celtic League to his tally. Only coach to do Northern & Southern Hemisphere right?
His persona has overshadowed the results at the end.

These are both loans for 2024 and not relevant to 2025, at least at this stage.

Cheika is the coach everyone loves to hate, which I think is a mix of his emotional 'heart-on-his-sleeve' persona and the fact he's a Tah.
Also happens to be clearly the most successful Australian rugby coach since Rod Macqueen. If he's interested in returning to the Tahs, 'sign here, press hard'!!

I guess you’re saying Australian rugby coach not wallaby rugby coach? Because… otherwise…

I was saying Australian rugby coach, and so taking into account also his record at Leinster, the Tahs and Argentina. And I'm not suggesting he return to the Wallabies, so all the Cheika haters from other provences needn't get their knickers in a knot, but I think he would be exactly the right coach for the Tahs right now. If you study his record, he is probably a coach to move on after two or three seasons, but in picking up a team that's down he has a real skill.

According to Fissler Confidential, Gordon may no longer heading overseas:
"But Perpignan’s bid to lure Wallaby scrum-half Jake Gordon away from the Tahs looks doomed to failure with Rugby Australia appearing unwilling to release him from the final year of his contract.'

RA want Perpignan to pay a release maybe?
Indifferent on it. I want to see more Wilson though at 9.

I do too.
Interestingly, the feedback I got was that his kicking game is well behind the other two which is why he's been third string for the bulk of the season.
Hopefully he can improve that for next season because he's an exciting player. I do think he's well and truly in the Tahs future plans though.

Could be a valid point and he wouldn't of had to use it much through schools with his running game. I'm sure sending him to the 7s is helping it.....
Reminds me a lot of Burgess but has a better pass already.

It's the name of Neil Fissler's column for Rugbypass. He mostly writes about player transfer rumours for the UK/European teams:
Fissler Confidential: Ulster keen on NZ 10 as Shark departs English shores
Ulster have been talking with Hurricanes’ ex-New Zealand U20s international Aidan Morgan in their quest for a new fly-half.

Agreed, but Neil Fissler certainly seems to be their Christie Doran (Somehow gets all the leaks). He gets a few wrong but overall he gets more right than wrong.

Charlie Gambe re-signed to 2026
In my view they should let him go. Has certainly done his time with Australian rugby, wouldn't be in anyone's top two halfbacks (but would make the squad for some) and he's got an opportunity overseas that is presumably pretty good.
Rugby Australia would get out of paying him for 6 months.
