OK so if we are soooooo ****, then which fat kids can we recruit from NZ to make us good
Matt "Who ate all the dropkicks?" Dunning, of course.
Australia really have a horrendous track record for props.
Guy Shepardson, Rodney whatever, Ben(n) Alexander, Ben(n) Robinson
That'll be Rodziila
Then there's Sekope Kepu, James Slipper, Salesi Ma'afu, Ben Daley, Pek Cowan & David Fitter
Bill Young was the last decent prop they had back in 2000, and he was only ever any good when Owen Finnegan played (and illegally bound onto him instead of the loosehead lock behind him)

Matt was actually Canadian born, and his brother played for us briefly.....does anyone have footage of his interception? The one where I think (was it the Blues?) wasted a 5 on 1 with only Dunning defending and Matt made an intercept which led to a huge break down the middle of the field...it's honestly one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in rugby.

Interesting.Toby Smith is heading to Oz - he'll be in the Wallabies next year.
Interesting.
I have a co-worker heading over too - though not a rugby player at all (though he does watch it) - might end up in the Wallabies as well.
Nope.I think that'd meet the minimum requirements? Could he play front row?
Nope.

So who will replace McKenzie? Can't really think of any top class coaches on the market right now, but they do have some time to find a replacement.
Ewen McKenzie isn't the current coach of the Reds - Richard Graham took over last season with McKenzie moving to a Director of Rugby position, which was done in anticipation McKenzie would get this job.
