Frank Hadden Resigns

[The Oxford Don]

For anyone else on here with an interest in rugby in general and in the national team in particular, Frank Hadden has done the decent thing and stepped aside, thank God:

He's a decent guy, Hadden, and did well to stabilise things in his first couple of seasons given the mess that we were in before he came on board. However over the last couple of years it became apparent that he wasn't equipped to take the team onto the next level, so it's good to see that he has recognised his own limitations and moved on to let someone else have a crack.

 

Now, what other circumstance have I been thinking those thoughts about recently...?

Very decent to put the team before himself.

 

A good man.

im sure he is a good man but if they have any ambitions to make rugby appeal to a broader audience they need to be better...its probably true that they dont have the players but i wouldnt pay to watch them play the all blacks or anyone for that matter....

Jimmy Calderwood surely worth a shout!

Well quite - they could just swap places!

 

I always liked Frank Hadden, but am surprised he didn't fall on his sword before that.

 

Wonder who will step into the breach now. If breeches, they won't fit Jimmy, alas.
