The Wallabies coaching structure was, rightly, the focus of Rugby Australia’s announcement yesterday but a formal agreement between the Super Rugby clubs and Wallabies could prove equally pivotal.
The Australian Super Rugby franchises have previously agreed to share fitness data but this is the first time that they have formally committed to working with the national body in a number of ways.
New director of rugby Scott Johnson will do a lot of the work around the specifics of the program but it is expected it will involve elements including the resting of star players, something that has been discussed with the franchises in recent months.
Meanwhile, Australia is in pool D for the 2019 Rugby World Cup with Fiji, Wales, Georgia and Uruguay.
The 2019 Rugby World Cup will be held in Japan from 20 September to 2 November 2019.
