Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika revealed that he has spoken to a number of possibilities as he hunts for scrum coach Mario Ledesma’s replacement.
Cheika said he had contacted Brumbies scrum coach Dan Palmer, who has orchestrated Australia’s most consistent scrum in recent years, as well as recently sacked Reds coach Nick Stiles, but was yet to settle on an option.
The Wallabies will likely take a short‑term replacement on their end‑of‑year tour, with Ledesma finishing up after next Saturday’s Bledisloe Cup Test with New Zealand in Brisbane, before deciding on a permanent appointment.
The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10pm Saturday.
