Did i hear that the "independent" review in to the Aussie performance is being conducted by Scott Johnson? Director of Rugby, part of the problem Scott Johnson?
Not fishing, just interested to know, what is his part in all this?
He was brought on board to oversee selections and make sure Cheika wasn't going off on a tangent (mission: failed). At the same time, he became a selector. Apparently.
Just another example of rugby's failures here: lack of desire to look the problem in the face.
yea, pretty much this. Not sure how you can conduct a review of a system you were in the middle of.
It gets better:
One of Australian rugby’s most respected voices, Rod Kafer, believes Michael Cheika shouldn’t be the only person held accountable for the Wallabies’ Rugby World Cup quarter-final exit and that sweeping changes to the Rugby Australia board must be made.
The same Rod Kafer who was appointed to a senior position developing elite coaches but has delivered precisely jack shit.
He's simply angling for a better job. His mate Kearns is doing the same:
Kearns added that he would accept an invitation to be involved in the review.
“I’d be involved in the review absolutely.The author is having a lend calling Kafer a "respected rugby voice". Any credibility he had disappeared years ago.
Its Christy Doran. Pretty sure he knows fuck all about rugby. FoxSports Rugby is his first real job after 4 internships and a Master's Degree.

Hahahahaha he’s a turd that it seems to be impossible to flush. How the mulleted fuckwit is still considered the rugby version of Yoda by some people is a mystery .
He’d be the first person I’d sack after last weekends game .

He's one of those people who are a veritable failure everywhere but has a CV that looks good on first reading. Any competent interview would rule him out.

If just looked at the appointments and not the results or length of time in the job it looks impressive. Look a bit deeper though and it’s pretty obvious that his main interest once he gets a job is looking for his next coaching position in a more prestigious and hopefully better paying team .
John Mitchell is similar but with far less people skills and hair.

So they tell me.

I think there are problems in Australia rugby, but the blame for poor results at the top should sit primarily with Cheika. His Wallabies have consistently been worse than the sum of their parts. Poor strategy, weird selections and what appears to be a very unhealthy culture are all his fault.
Throw him out and things will probably improve by themselves.

Throw him out and things will probably improve by themselves.Yes, but they'll just return to a level of adequacy.
How does it actually improve for the longer term? To the point where a Bledisloe win is not only possible, but realistic?

You probably won't ever dominate the Bledisloe, but yeah a return to the mean of winning 33% or so against us, with the odd short period of dominance would be a worthy goal.
In my opinion the Cheika lead era has underperformed due to poor strategy and selections. The Wallabies generated enough good ball against England to score more than one try - they just had no penetration when they should have.
Surely White, Toomua and JOC should have started on Saturday at 9, 10 and 13. Not Genia, Lilo and a 19 year old freshie.

More crap journalism from stuff, missing the first, clear, and obvious choice of Hammett

Time to ‘smash the wheel’. Why Wallabies crisis can’t end with Michael Cheika’s exit
