WHILE Robbie Deans was coming to terms with the likelihood he had coached his final Test for Australia early on Sunday morning, troublesome pair James O'Connor and Kurtley Beale were at a Kings Cross nightclub mingling with revellers.
It was telling. The two players he had entrusted with so much could not be reined in even on his final day.
The duo were seen at nightspot Iguana Bar at 5.30am, eight hours after their humiliating 41-16 defeat to the British & Irish Lions, a result that sealed the fate of Deans as the Wallabies coach.
This followed O'Connor and Beale missing the team bus for training last Thursday. They slept in and had to catch a taxi to Hunters Hill, further aggravating players who were already annoyed after the pair were photographed at 4am the week of the second Test at a fast food burger outlet.
O'Connor's apology to the team for being out so late during preparations for the Melbourne Test also did not endear him to some players. He delivered a blase statement in the team meeting room, standing with one foot on a chair........
DO WE REALLY WANT HIM??????
