And the ARU may regret because there is talent in that.
Australian squad now the whole talk is how many Australian qualified players are playing for other countries but we saw at Olympus against Ireland we saw the first half against France they certainly can go to most teams but unfortunately now they're on a bad losing streak confidence is low and you don't even have that same coach
in there trying to fix things that are going to be important next week next year so it's just an interesting it's a really good point talking point around if you pull a trigger or you know what's happening um medium to long term do you not just do it now yeah and he like i was thinking about this in relation to leo cullen as well announcing that he's gone from leinster a year you know in advance and i don't know either either don't say it or like yeah it's you
Yeah, they say the long goodbyes in sport rarely work.
I'm not sure statistically how often they do.
I'm sure there's great examples of where it has led to unbelievable success.
But yeah, in general, it does seem to be a tricky thing to manage.
And yeah, let's see what happens with Leinster.
Just because of what we've seen the last... And look, as I said, hindsight's easy.
If Australia had beaten Ireland and beaten France, we're saying Joe Schmidt is handing over Australia...
to Les Kiss in an unbelievable place and they're better for that but now the reality is he's going to pick them up I think on a low ebb and has missed the chance to put his stamp on these There you go Les here's the squad thanks for nothing Joe thanks for absolutely nothing What do you think Neil?
Well, it does now.
It's the Lions.
The Lions repaid all their debts.
They're throwing more silly money at NRL players.
Like, there seems to be... Look, they were on their knees financially.
spend money to make money but that Lions tour got them out of trouble and then they have a World Cup coming up next year which they really need to invest in to make sure that they have the best possible chance of having a successful World Cup because it's going to be a long road till the next big payday the next Lions tour the next World Cup you know it's a long way after this so when's the next Lions tour lads 12 years
and also it's a little bit easier for the ARU than it is you know they contracted Joe they're contracting Les yeah I don't think it would have been a fully I think a finance might have played a part in it but I I don't know I don't know what the decision was but certainly not having Les involved
I fear that they will regret that, you know, if they don't have a good World Cup.
Because I still think there's talent there.
