How he thought he could stay on after the fractious last couple of years, and disastrous time since sacking Rennie and hiring Eddie is baffling.
NZR and most of the Super Rugby clubs will probably be glad to see the back of him as he was constantly holding a sword over any progress and change for that competition.
The state of RA is probably worse than anyone knows. Apparently they’re still trying to chase the A$1.4m they had only a verbal contract for from the warmup game against France - and rumours are that the crew under Eddie somehow overspent by A$1m during the World Cup. That goose is pretty cooked I think.
Needing the WC just to pay off some debts!
