Should The New Wallabies Coach Still Be Coaching His NZ Side?
February 24th 2008 23:00
Huh. This is something I should have posted before the Super 14 started but, although I had come across this shocking info a few weeks ago, I completely forgot about it...possibly because it was just too shocking and my brain filed it under 'F' for rhymes with rucked.
I am really shocked about this.
Apparently Robbie Deans - the new Wallabies Coach - is still coach of the Crusaders and Brumbies Coach, Laurie Fisher has been the only one to make noise about it.
Fisher, rightly so, says Deans should get his ass to Australia now (just not in those words) and shouldn't be in NZ preparing his team to beat the Brumbies.
Fisher (l): "Australia's that way bozo."
Deans: "fush and chups"
***************************** ***
Deans is not expected to move to Sydney until after the Super 14 and Fisher is understandably cautious about sharing ideas or inside information on potential Wallabies with his adversary.
Fisher said;
Last month Deans 'suggested' the four Australian Super 14 coaches (Fisher, Ewen McKenzie, John Mitchell and Phil Mooney) could -and is this the height of bitchiness or what?- "select his Wallabies squad".
Again understandably, Fisher scoffed at that plan because he did not want to divulge secrets about Australian players to someone who is hell bent on beating Australian teams, particularly the Brumbies, for the Super 14 title.
Fisher says that he "wishes Deans had set up in Sydney" before the Super 14 started, instead of still being in charge of a New Zealand team.
...which is a very polite way of saying...what the hell are the ARU decision makers smoking?
What do you think?

Fisher said;
We will catch up on a personal note (during Crusaders Brumbies matches), but won't be discussing any players' strengths and weaknesses...
After the Super 14 we will be happy to spill the beans and push the case of some of our players.

I was surprised by that (that he stayed with the Crusaders) and a little disappointed from an Australian perspective...
We would have liked to have him here to tell us how he would have liked to develop our players and the style he wants our players (the Wallabies) to play.
