‘I came back to Australia trying to help. At the moment I am not giving much help, am I?’
“Firstly, I would just like to apologise to all the Australian supporters. Our performance was not up to the standard that was required,” the former England boss said.
“I came back to Australia trying to help. At the moment I am not giving much help, am I? But that doesn’t mean my commitment to helping has changed.“I am a proud Australian. I hate to see Australian rugby do as poorly as we have been doing, particularly under my reign. “I think I have got the ability to turn things around. I was hoping we would be able to do it by now, but we haven’t been able to.“A process unfortunately takes times, takes some pain. Sometimes it takes more pain than it does pleasure.
