Jones’ departure launches rugby’s game of thrones | geerob

Eddie Jones will split with the RFU on Monday, his seven-year reign as England coach over just nine months before the World Cup in France.

The Englishman was the frontrunner to succeed Jones after the World Cup and interviewed for the role last month, so the RFU might have signed him on a multi-year deal. It is a little-known fact that Herbert and Robertson are good friends. They met at French club Perpignan in 2003. They had played each other a number of times in Super Rugby – Herbert for Queensland and Robertson for Canterbury – but it was in southern France that a friendship flourished. It remains strong to this day.This is not to suggest any bias on Herbert’s part.

There are a few obstacles to clear, however. One of them is Jamie Joseph and the other is ‘Razor’ himself. The code has challenges here, not least of which is a federated system that has taken excellent coaches and turned them into frustrated diplomats with ever-worsening win rates during the past 20 years.

Dave Rennie has coached the Wallabies since 2020 and made it clear he will make a decision about his future early next year.Jones finds himself without a job, but won’t be idle for long. He has a record that speaks for itself and must be considered by RA, but is vulnerable to criticism that his unforgiving style does not suit the modern workplace.

geerob BS follows. Time for an Aussie coach! “It would beggar belief if McLennan or Marinos did not try to meet Robertson over a beverage while the three of them were in Europe last month.” What are you on, Georgie?

geerob ‘Strewth are you telling me Daniel Herbert is a ‘rugby power broker’? No wonder the Wallabies are fucked.

Concussions no longer worn as ‘badge of honour’ amid ‘culture shift’Former rugby league player James Graham says the culture surrounding concussions is “starting to shift” with head injuries no longer worn as a “badge of honour”. Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe's proposal for an inquiry into concussion and head trauma in sports has received unanimous support. Graham said the culture shift around concussions needs to happen in the youth leagues of the game. “In rugby league especially, and in a lot of contact sports, it’s ‘never show you are hurt’, you always continue on, you would only stop at the most severe injuries,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan. “Maybe that needs to keep on changing a little bit more.” Graham added that there are still “many benefits” for team sport, for the individual and for society. “We don’t want to stop these team sports or collision sports but what we can do is perhaps make them safer,” he said.
