A subsidiary law unfortunately is that the Waratahs don't win the Super 14 tournament. At halftime at the SFS with the Waratahs holding an unexpected 18-8 lead over the rattled Auckland Blues someone said to me: "What do you think now of sacking a coach halfway through the scene?""It's seems to work" I said. "Remember David Nucifora with the ACT Brumbies? He was sacked halfway through the season and they won the tournament. "Then down at Clovelly Beach on Sunday one of the good old boys yelled out to me: "What're you going to write about now on Tuesday?" This was a reference of course to the talk in the press about the NSWRU's decision to drop NSW coach Ewen McKenzie… The hunt is on for McKenzie's successor. In the past the board of the NSWRU and especially a handful of powerbrokers most of whom know nothing about rugby have interfered in the process of selecting a coach. A panel of rugby experts should do this job. I remember being phoned up by a powerbroker some years ago for instance and being asked who would make the better choice for the Waratahs as coach Laurie Mains or Bob Dwyer. My advice was that very good coaches come from all different backgrounds. They have different philosophies and methods. But they always have one thing in common – they've been winners at all the levels they have coached at.

In its time of supposed crisis and given they are unbeaten at the World Cup and in the semi-finals England coach Clive Woodward has taken comfort in selecting from his strongest available line-up. Between them they have 651 caps liberally sprinkled amongst the starting XV and 932 in the match-day squad assuredly the most experienced 22 in history for any one game. In particular the names Hill Back and Dallaglio are as synonymous with each other as Johnston Mooney and ‘Brien. The return of Richard Hill hitherto sorely missed will Woodward clearly hopes knit the tried and trusted back row together.
