I've edited my previous post to mention Erasmus resuming his DOR role.
Regarding Cheika, his record post the 2015 World Cup suggests he should be sacked. However, with the World Cup just over 9 months away, i can see Rugby Australia feeling that a change of coach so close to the World Cup wouldn't be a good thing.
Most Aussie rugby fans want Cheika gone. Jake White, who would accept the job if it was offered to him, wouldn't be a universally popular appointment but his back to basics, keep it simple, efficient style is what's required.
White was going to talk to RA via a phone hook up a couple of weeks ago but it was cancelled by RA after word got out that White and RA were going to have a meeting.
