Being serious tho, I suppose I haven't said a lot about why I think Nucifora should get a shot except to say that his record is second only to Deans among the applicants, admittedly a long second. But he's a proven winner at ACT, even under the most trying of circumstances. He's done well at Auckland AND learned a lot of inside info about the NZRU systems. IMHO the fact that he's Australian SHOULD count second to his being a great coach.

I know it's professional these days but this is our NATIONAL team, so nationalistic pride SHOULD have a place, IMHO. And I don't give a flying f@ck what any past, present or future Wallabies or anyone else thinks.
