Tasked with leading Australia to the 2023 World Cup, Dave Rennie was appointed coach of the Australian men’s rugby team. He takes over from Michael Cheika
MELBOURNE - Former schoolteacher Dave Rennie has a track record of guiding rugby teams to championships and glory but he will need to get used to taking instruction when he starts work as Wallabies coach in mid-2020.
Johnson and the selection panel were foisted upon Rennie’s predecessor Michael Cheika at the end of a disastrous 2018, when the Wallabies won only four of their 13 tests in their worst season in decades. Johnson, however, has spelled out the limits of RA’s cosmopolitan outlook, saying Rennie’s staff should have an “Australian flavour”.
“Everyone knows he’s a good friend of mine ... He’d be a welcome addition,” he said of Wisemantel before offering a similar endorsement of Taylor.With the Wallabies job to be Rennie’s first at the highest level — and still a plum role despite the twice world champions’ struggles in recent years —- the New Zealander has sounded willing to get with the programme.
Before getting to grips with the job, Rennie should perhaps ponder what is meant by the “Aussie way” — a term used by the country’s rugby establishment to describe what it deems is the desired brand of rugby for the nation and its fans.
