Current Glasgow coach signs three-and-a-half-year dealMichael Cheika’s successor will take up post in July 2020 Dave Rennie will lead the Wallabies to the 2023 Rugby
World Cup after being named as Michael Cheika’s replacement in charge of the national men’s team. The 55-year-old, who has signed a three-and-a-half year deal, becomes the second New Zealander to take on
Australian rugby’s top coaching role.
Given his current commitments with Scottish team Glasgow Warriors in the Pro14 competition, Rennie will not take the reins until July next year. Until then, Rugby Australia’s director of rugby, Scott Johnson, will oversee the rebuilding of the national team, including assembling a coaching staff, under Rennie’s direction.
