'Absolutely committed': Castle sure Rennie will take up Wallabies post | geerob
Despite widespread uncertainty clouding rugby's future here and abroad, and speculation Castle's departure is a matter of when, not if, the embattled chief executive also vowed to be around to see the Rennie-coached Wallabies kick off in a Test match this year.
Despite Castle's confidence, sources close to Rennie maintained that the three-time Super Rugby title-winning coach would be the first domino to fall if there was change at the top in the immediate future.They also questioned whether Rennie's highly-regarded Australian coaching team would last through any change, as Wisemantel and Taylor all gave up well-paid jobs in the Scotland and England set ups to join the Wallabies on the New Zealander's ticket.
Meanwhile, RA and the Rugby Union Players Association continued negotiations on an emergency pay deal, while the subject of early releases emerged as a potential flashpoint in coming weeks. Fearing a mass exodus, RA was not willing to entertain the notion of early releases when RUPA floated the issue in their initial pitch last week.RA would be sensible to treat requests on a case by case basis, with France, the United Kingdom and Japan all expected to start ramping up their recruitment efforts in coming weeks. The new European season starts in August, while Japan's next season gets underway in January.
