Australian Scott Johnson is to return to Wales after being appointed the Ospreys' director of coaching.

The former Wallabies assistant and Wales backs coach is currently coach of the United States but has now given the Eagles the three months' notice required under his contract and will join up with the Ospreys at the end of the current season.

I was just nibbling

it was no secret that Scott Johnsons and John Connoly's ideas of tactics and game plans often werent the same.

Scott Johnson is a lot better coach then what was shown at the Wallabies, you only have to look at the form of the Welsh when he was coaching, and the game plans that they followed.

Nibble elsewhere - what about Laurie Fisher, John Connolly, Eddie O' Sullivan - go on Thunderchicken who do you want ?

I liked where the Eagles were going under Scotty; playing more quick ball; showing better fitness.. I'm disappointed..Some stability would be nice for us..

[thunderchicken9]

Well, of the top of my frazzled head, I'll go Eddie O'Sullivan, if he agreed to at least 4 more years......

Glad he is employed...elsewhere...

I wonder if he could take knuckles as a Welsh rugby writer...

Mitchell?
