Former Wallaby Greg Martin has delivered one of the more blunt messages for Rugby Australia in the fallout of Australia’s World Cup quarterfinal defeat to England.

Former Wallaby-turned-broadcaster Martin spoke toon Monday and said Rugby Australia needed a radical change to turn the sport around.

“Scott’s a lovely bloke and I get on fine with him, but I’m sort of not really into that type of thing,” Cheika said.“Not that my way’s definitely the right way, I’m definitely not saying that, always,” Cheika added. “But that’s just the way I like to operate. While there are murmurings Rugby Australia couldn’t afford to pay Cheika’s contract out, Martin said the governing body should have just bitten the bullet.“The chairman wasn’t strong enough, the CEO hasn’t been strong enough. We need rugby people in those positions, true rugby people.

“They need to blow it up straight away,” Martin said. “Whatever the process is the board, and there’s some duds on it, they need to go. They need to get a new CEO and a new chairman with a bit of strength.They need someone who understands rugby. “It’s not just Michael Cheika’s fault, our coaching for the past 15-20 years has been terrible and I mean not just at Wallaby level but at juniors and the skills we teach them and the way we ask them to play the game,” he said. “We teach this shape and pattern and structure and process, which is all rubbish because if you can’t catch and pass and kick and tackle, you can’t play the game.”David Pocock played his last game for Australia while Jordan Petaia is the future.

This is what said it all for me - The Australian coach dismissed questions about his strategy after the match, stating: 'That's the way we play footy. I'm not going to go to a kick-and-defend game. Call me naive, but that's something we're not going to do.'

Shouldn’t be a problem; they have all got form in “blowing it up” Clyne NAB, Castle Bulldogs, Joyce Jetstar.

The five contenders to replace Cheika and launch new Wallabies eraNow that Michael Cheika has announced his intention to step down, it's expected that Rugby Australia will be preparing a shortlist of candidates. Should start with a defence coach first. Someone to train a full back to be the last line to allow the others to get there. Letting in way too many tries untouched by a defender.
