Didn't hear/see the interview but saw the many,many articles after that said he was going mate. They didn't think he was joking but I'll have to watch it

I remember being the only one on here who said Borths would take everyone with him and being shouted down on for it,let's hope I'm wrong this time but I've a bad feeling about this again!

Perhaps McKellar is more honourable than Jones.

Borths was always going to leave for the WC, although we thought afterwards. I doubt anybody had thought it would be long term.

I reckon we will have McKeller for at least 4 years, which in current rugby language (especially for Tigers atm) is long term!

I hope so! I just can't see Eddie staying in another job long term,he's only ever done it once with England I believe and I'd bet the house on McKellar being the next Oz coach.

I certainly couldn't disagree with that!
