Wikipedia him . What did we do before Wikipedia?
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I think we should all name our sources or reasons for putting forward names for the position of WF Head Coach. I reckon Tabai Matson will get it because his best mate from primary school told me.
His time at Leinster was not as good as the records show. He took over a top notch team from Joe Schmidt, and to quote some of the Leinster supporters he did nothing but send them backwards.
"The next Leinster coach doesn't have to be as successful as Schmidt but must at least play a better brand or running creative rugby. If that occurs, given the quality in this Leinster squad, success should follow.
"We can thank Matt but I hope nobody starts romanticising his tenure at Leinster where he took the best running team in Europe at the time and ran their creative running streak into the ground.
This is not what the force need at this time.

Matt O'Connor has pretty comparable win stats to Michael Cheika as coach of Leinster 65.7% vs 65.6%. A better loss percentage of 26.2% compared to Cheikas 31.3%.
This in no ways shows what relationship he had with the players.
When they've finished in Brazil, and hopefully brought back a gold, how about Tim Walsh, the Australian women's 7s coach?
Does only seem to have coached 7s, mind.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
I was half right, Blackadder to Bath with Tabai Matson as his assistant.
