Robbie Deans sacked, Ewen McKenzie new Wallabies coach

Ewen McKenzie will coach the Wallabies to the 2015 Rugby World Cup after the Australian Rugby Union released Robbie Deans from his two-year contract six months early.

It is understood the departing Reds head coach, who took the Queensland side to a Super Rugby title in 2011, will be unveiled tomorrow as Deans's replacement.

McKenzie has seen off a powerful challenge from Brumbies coach Jake White, who was considered a strong favourite for the position just a few weeks ago.

The Wallabies' next Test match is against the All Blacks in Sydney on August 17 in the first match of The Rugby Championship.

Inevitable to be honest, good to see some new blood coming in. Would be good if the Wallabies put up a decent fight again.

I felt shocked
 
Dingo Deans - not sure you'd be welcome back in the motherland.

Wondering if any higher up heads will roll - they backed him all the way...

So Kurtley Beale seems to have launched a kamakaze attack and seems intent to take Ewen McKenzie down with him -

The Wallabies are just a shambles.

mission successful.

It seems to be an Australian thing - the "senior players group" is always more powerful than the coach. I don't fucking get it.
