Rugby Australia has put all their eggs in the Joe Schmidt-Les Kiss basket. The plan poses a bigger risk than Eddie Jones’ appointment, writes JULIAN LINDEN.
It’s time for World Rugby to take a stand on French clubs raiding the best young talent in the south – with Australia losing two teenage stars to cashed-up foreign raiders.
Les Kiss might be more of a “larrikin” than Joe Schmidt, but their similar coaching styles will benefit the Wallabies.
The complicated Wallabies coaching succession plan looks set to pay immediate dividends – with Waratahs captain Jake Gordon to shelve his plans to quit Australian rugby in pursuit of France.
Eddie Jones hasn’t held back on his tenure as Wallabies’ coach, decisions made and the ‘worst press conference ever’, while French rugby has snared a prodigious Aussie 17-year-old.
Joe Schmidt was meant to leave the Wallabies this year, with one eye on the health and wellbeing of his wife and son. He’s signed on until mid-2026 after a special gesture from Rugby Australia.
The Wallabies’ coaching “transition” from Joe Schmidt to Queensland Reds mentor and former rugby league player Les Kiss will take place next year.
Incoming Wallabies coach Les Kiss has declared his short runway to the World Cup no excuse for a poor performance, as he was officially unveiled in the top job.
Rugby’s worst kept secret has been confirmed, with the Wallabies’ next coach officially announced. But there has been a significant change in how the transition will take place, reports JAMIE PANDARAM.
The NRL is set to attack a 60-player expansion void with the biggest financial weapon in its history – leaving the Wallabies helpless in the firing line. With cashed-up clubs ready to lure code converts, we reveal the targets.
The Wallabies have locked in their next head coach – with the arrival of their fifth head coach in six years following a last-minute travel booking switch.
