Just heard Eddie on Radio 4,what a dignified bloke, a true pro.

We're lucky to have him.

When Stuart Lancaster stepped down after the shambles of the 2015 World Cup I only wanted an English man to replace him.

Eddie came in and has been a breath of fresh air - love his commitment attitude and his jovial character.

I couldn't have been more wrong - he's a professional coach who talks about beating the country of his birth with pride.

Any idea of the Aussie equivalent today as a lot of those Aussie names sound like islanders?

6 Australian starters born outside of the country - But in fairness at least 3 (Haylett-Petty, Pocock, Moore) arrived as children....
