Australia
Dave Rennie has confirmed he will leave his role as Glasgow Warriors Head Coach at the end of the season, to become the next Head Coach of Australia.
Rennie, who joined the Warriors in 2017 from Super Rugby side the Chiefs, guided his side to the Guinness PRO14 Final at Celtic Park and the quarter-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup last season.
The club came top of its Guinness PRO14 Conference in both the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, securing a record number of bonus point wins last season in the process as his attacking, all-court style of play maintained the Warriors’ position as one of the top teams in the competition.
Glasgow Warriors continued to develop exciting young talent during his first two seasons with many going on to secure international honours with Scotland, demonstrated with the selection of 19 players in Gregor Townsend’s Rugby World Cup training squad this summer.
England (17) 40 / 16 (9) Wallabies (Final Score)
England and the Australian Wallabies did battle in a Rugby World Cup 2019 Quarter Final at

*******************
On Sunday the GROUP STAGE of Rugby World Cup 2019 came to a close, with 12 Teams departing and only 8 Teams remaining to contest the final 3 weeks of Rugby World Cup 2019.
7 Of the 8 Teams going forward were expected to go forward but the host nation Japan added their name to the last 8 by beating Scotland and by topping their Pool overall, winning all 4 their Pool matches.
Japan is certainly one of 2 Teams at Rugby World Cup 2019 who have showed the most improvement, the other probably being chalked down as Uruguay who beat the much more vaunted Fiji and on Sunday they really showed passion, spirit, determination and lots of guts against Wales (only trailing by 1 point at the break and then going down not nearly as heavy at the end as was to be expected).
Fiji and Tonga showed some glimpses of what they could be capable of but they lacked overall poise and effectiveness during the Group Stages.
Samoa were the most ill-diciplined outfit by far in Rugby World Cup 2019.
Namibia played with spirit and guts and it is a great pity their final Pool match against Canada was cancelled due to typhoon Hagabis, which could have delivered their 1st ever Rugby World Cup win.

Australia coach Michael Cheika has named uncapped teenager Jordan Petaia and David Pocock in his World Cup squad, despite the forward’s fitness concerns.
Pocock, 31, has not played for the Wallabies since November 2018 because of a calf injury but joins an experienced squad with back Adam Ashley-Cooper, who has 117 caps.
Fly-half Christian Lealiifano, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in August 2016, is also in the squad.
“I’m confident,” Cheika said.
“We’ll be a little bit unpredictable, that’s been a little bit of our theme this year, if we don’t know what we’re doing no one will know what we’re doing.”

There are three categories of team involved in Monday’s first round of knock-out matches – the four with a chance of being champions, the next four with only pride at stake, and the bottom four desperate to avoid relegation.
The top four are playing semifinals while Fiji, Georgia, Italy and Scotland battle to avoid relegation, especially vital for Italy as their are the 2020 host nation.
Of the top four, South Africa, who are the only unbeaten side in the tournament, Australia and Argentina were winners of their pool. France, who are the reigning champions, were statistically the best of the other nine teams
The semis will be played at the Hipódromo, the stadium next to the racecourse at the Jockey Club in Rosario.
The Old Resians Club – a generous place as is the case with the great clubs of Argentina – was founded for the past pupils of Rosario English School – hence the RES of Resians. It is now the San Bartolomé School.
