    I'm seeing rumours that Eddie has gone completely bonkers and has John Mitchell lined up as an England assistant.
    I look forward to that entertainment and addition to England's journey.

    Eddie could end up being a better plant than Robbie was

    John Mitchell's departure a 'done deal' as Bulls search for next coach

    John Mitchell's departure a 'done deal' as Bulls search for next coach

    Former All Black coach John Mitchell return to the England fold by next month. Mitchellโ€™s departure from the Bulls is a โ€˜done dealโ€™.

    Looks like the team with the 3rd worse defence in SR (which has some baaaaaaaaaaad defence) is off to specialise in defence for Engerland

    The notorious record of John Mitchell's disruptive coaching career

    The notorious record of John Mitchell's disruptive coaching career

    He has never been one to shy away from taking a hard-line stance, but his growing list of shortstop destinations raises questions about whether Mitchell does more harm than good for each organisation he joins.

    Seems we're not the only ones to notice!

    That highlights all the fears I have.

    So chop a few office and grass roots staff for good ol' Mitch?

    "If they believe John Mitchell is a better defence coach than me then good luck to them," Sean Edwards soon to be ex Wales defence coach. Touche!

    Mitchell seems to give off the vibe (to most NZ fans of a certain age) that he's faking it.

    What are the Bulls like on defence?
    I've been to https://sanzarrugby.com/superrugby/competition-stats/ but they are a pretty hopelessly incomprehensive set of stats.

    The most relevant set of stats I could get from there to assess team defence is Team Tackle % won. Where Bulls are 14th out of 15 in the comp.

    There's not even a category in that hopeless site for tries conceded!

    @bovidae possibly not, but if your side's defence is a bit shit, the head coach would (should) probably take a more active role.

    @Rapido

    not sure if this is any better
