Mitchell to Jones' Rescue?

[Darren]

Emirates Western Force coach John Mitchell has offered to help solve Australia's scrum problems ahead of the 2007 World Cup.

Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has urged the Australian Rugby Union to appoint a specialist scrum coach after his side were humiliated by England on Saturday.


Mitchell is regarded as one of the shrewdest forward coaches in the game and was hired by Clive Woodward to help develop the English pack that went on to win the last World Cup.

The scrum has long been regarded as the weak link in Australian rugby, where greater emphasis is placed on developing backline play.

Everyone wants a piece of the Western Force.

There is another Geezer who has up for the Force called David Te Moana who is a 130kG prop forward.
