Where do we go next?

@Fiddler I don’t doubt that they will recognise the need for a attack coach and defence coach. My problem lies with the feeling that they will fail to appoint the correct person, as history continually points out. As to Millward, Ive little doubt that he will survive all this, and still be in position next season.

@Allthewaythere The difficulty is however that the right on field persons may not be easy to find for a team in our position. The right persons may have financial demands and a playing budget we cannot meet. On the Millward point the fact they appointed Ruddock with such a wide brief sounds pretty ominous for a guy who is only MD because he has supposed rugby pedigree/knowledge and whose captain has sounded off to the press about the quality of the off field management. The sheer stupidity of the decision to put the organisation in the combined hands of Millward and Tandy in 2016 has cost a few individuals a seven figure sum. I doubt they are that sanguine about matters despite the need to show public confidentiality.

@Fiddler Again very well put my friend. The sad thing in all this is the fact that so much of our problems are self inflicted. We just have to hope that we “luck in” and get the candidate we sorely need. Recovery becomes that much easier with that in place.

Well possibly immediately available (currently a coaching consultant with Kings) great attack coach, great record with Lions attack system brought in by Erasmus to Boks but has had serious problems with stress. If you want innovative attack play and contacts in the SA player market he would be of some interest.

Someone with stress problems to join the most stressful team in world rugby. Sounds right up our street actually

Well Borthwick is going to Leicester as head coach, so maybe that rules him out of Leicester.
