Would people be so keen on Dwayne Peel if he wasn't an ex-Scarlet? Honestly I know there were some tough circumstances in Ulster this year but you can't act like he has a decent coaching CV.
I think if Pivac and Stephen are both off, we need to take our compensation and bring in a top quality coach from elsewhere, and keep Byron and Ioan. This coaching appointment is massive in terms of our future. We are hell of an attractive proposition. I'd ask Pivac to head home and draw up a serious shortlist of contenders. Scott Robertson has done a great job at the Crusaders, winning 38 of the last 45 games with a squad that isn't really stuffed with stars (does contain Sam Whitelock, Kieran Read and Izzy Dagg mind )

I hope and assume he will only take it if they allow him to do things the way he wants |

Today's WRU presser will be mostly about the next Wales coach, but also significant updates on internal restructuring & the new RSA - there'll only be one headline, though.
Today's eventuality was clear from the time Wayne Pivac was appointed head coach - he always said that any leader has a useful shelf-life of 4-5 years, and that time will be up in 2019. Stephen Jones stepping up as Head Coach would have been ideal for continuity and development, but this pair have formed such a strong partnership that they clearly need to be a package. Do not doubt that the transition and succession plan will have been worked on by Nigel Short and the management board for many months. It may be an unsettling time for supporters, but the long term vision and planning is in place to continue the club's success, and will be backed up with increased budgets from the new 'RSA' (plus compensation for releasing WP & SJ with a year remaining on their contracts), for coaches and players.

Good luck to him. Like the press release said the world is our oyster. It being announced early allows Wayne to 100% concentrate on us doing the double this year and going out on a high. Be interesting to see what names will be linked with the job(s) (here is me assuming that Stevo will follow him to Wales). I for one would go for a name with no connection to the region (southern or northern hemisphere), with no baggage and no allegiances. Then bringing in ex players as coaches similar to what Wayne has done. Similar in our player recruitment I imagine this process will be extremely detailed and thorough and I am 100% confident in whoever the board choose. |

Well no big surprise. With success you put yourself in the public spotlight. We have to presume that Pivac will take his team with him. With the support of the WRU as we hopefully will receive compensation let's go for another kiwi coach to continue the building process.

I’m pleased for Wayne (and Steve is he goes too), but I’m also sad to see him (or them) go. The change in the team has been remarkable since he took over, and last season was in my opinion the best season since regionalism. We have to ensure we get someone who can come in and build on what we have rather than having someone arrive who wants to sweep away the old and restart.

Yes, impeccable timing on our part (I made that up). So, who's coming along on Thursday? Nigel Short & Mark Davies (PRW) are scheduled for an 18:30 start. Apologies for the early start but both men need to get away by 19:30.

It was always going to happen wasn't it. The perfect man for the job.
So thankful for everything he did for us on and off the pitch. He really did fall in love with the club and our country and I'm so grateful for the memories he's given us. Bath away, Ospreys home, 2017 final in Dublin are my top 3 moments of his reign. Hopefully a lot more to come next season. Strangely it's made me more excited for the season to start so we can give him the send off he deserves. Roll on Grand Slams with Wales :) Diolch Wayne
