Dave Rennie linked with Tier 1 job post World Cup

Former Chiefs and current Glasgow Warriors coach Dave Rennie is reportedly in line for the Wallabies job after the Rugby World Cup in Japan according to a Sydney Morning Herald report. 

 

 

 

The report claims that Rennie is "high on the Wallabies' coaching list" although current England head coach Eddie Jones and Wales coach Warren Gatland are said to be the preferred choices among a "dream list" of potential candidates.


 

 


Rennie led the Chiefs to back-to-back Super Rugby titles in his first two seasons with the franchise in 2012 and 2013 and has been an instant hit in Glasgow since leaving the Chiefs in 2017, helping the side finish top of Conference A and to a PRO14 semi final in his first season.

 

 

 

The Warriors lead the way in Conference A so far this season. The 55-year-old is contracted to the Warriors until the middle of the 2020 season after signing a one-year extension in January. 

 

 

Rennie's name has been thrown into the mix to replace Steve Hansen after the World Cup but his contract with Glasgow could a roadblock for both the Wallabies and All Blacks.

 

"I'm going to be here for at least another year and a half – possibly longer," Rennie told BBC Sport after agreeing to stay on with Glasgow.

 

"It's been really good. We're happy, and my wife is happy, that's the key.

 

 

"If I'm not here who is going to be running the show and contracting? It gives players clarity over who is going to be here.
