Rugby fans have the knives out for RA boss Hamish McLennan. On Instagram,his wife Lucinda fought back.
RA chairman Hamish McLennan has arrived back in Sydney to face the music after the World Cup debacle but remains determined to stay in the top job.
Chief executive Phil Waugh says Rugby Australia has negotiated a ‘sensible outcome’ with Eddie Jones after the Wallabies coach resigned less than 12 months into a five-year deal.
Hamish McLennan says he will not step down as Rugby Australia chairman after the Wallabies’ failed World Cup campaign and the departure of coach Eddie Jones.
The Wallabies coach has resigned after 2023 turned into a roaring bin fire. You can only imagine what Dave Rennie is thinking.
While the future appears grim for professional rugby in Australia,the game’s heart will continue to beat strongly.
Despite losing to Portugal,Fiji have knocked the Wallabies out of the World Cup and qualified for the quarter-finals after picking up a bonus point in Monday’s game.
The Rugby Australia chairman said his family were shocked by the “ugly” and “embarrassing” exchange,which occurred the night after Australia’s defeat to Wales at the World Cup.
Few figures elicit such a diversity of opinion as the high-flying media and advertising executive. What that means for the future of the code and McLennan’s place in it is unclear.
Eddie Jones isn’t solely to blame for what happened to the Wallabies. The rugby system in this country is at fault – starting at the top.
The future of the Wallabies coach appears untenable,but an angry public have the Rugby Australia chairman in their sights,too.
