In light of recent events surrounding the controversy of the QC (Quade Cooper)/ARU negotiations, it is David Nucifora who is the ARU spokesman (while in Europe) and who has made a belated announcement re their position.
With the perceived problems facing the ARU, including the dilemma of what to do with Robbie Dean's future as coach, who of quality would want to take up the poisoned chalice that is ARU.
I believe that David Nucifora will probably be appointed because of that.
If this comes to pass, then they will only be digging a deeper hole for themselves in my opinion.
He is a poor coach (does not obtain player's respect an dismal U20 JWRC performance), has poor public relations, and has no real experience at international business, especially at this higher level.
