00:00 So we're going off to the World Cup, you think we can't win.

00:03 You think the selection process is bad because the players are going to play.

00:07 I love this negativity, it's fantastic.

00:09 I love it, love it.

00:11 Keep going, keep going.

00:13 Keep going, keep going.

00:15 You know we're terrible.

00:17 Just tell us we're terrible and we'll prove you wrong.

00:21 As I said, hindsight's a wonderful thing.

00:25 When you make decisions at any time during your career, you get presented information at the time.

00:33 And you make decisions based on that information.

00:35 As I said, where we ended up was clearly not good enough.

00:39 Are you worried you're going to get sacked?

00:41 No, not worried.

00:43 I don't control those sort of things.

00:45 All I can do is coach.

00:47 I went to the World Cup, came in a short period of time.

00:49 Had to make a decision on the team.

00:51 Made a decision we needed to go with youth.

00:53 And whilst the results of the World Cup weren't the results we wanted,

00:57 I think I've left the Australian team in a great position to go on to 2027.

01:01 Look, I'm not a selector.

01:05 Sometimes I wish I was.

01:09 But again, hindsight's a wonderful thing.

01:11 There's certainly a gap between what we put out there on the field compared to our opposition.

01:17 Clearly with the results that we had.

01:19 And there are a lot of very capable and good players left at home.

01:23 Did you do a job interview with Japanese rugby a couple of weeks before the World Cup?

01:28 I don't know what you're talking about, mate.

01:30 I said I don't know what you're talking about, mate.

01:32 I'm committed to Coach Australia.

01:34 Next year?

01:35 I'm committed to Coach Australia.

01:37 I haven't spoken to anyone, as you know, around any of it.

01:43 Indeed, he's credited.

01:44 I mean, he put everything into 2023.

01:46 It didn't work out.

01:47 He made some bold decisions on selection.

01:49 But there's no lack of commitment from what I observed.

01:52 He's a world-class coach.

01:53 It didn't work out for Australia, but it may work out for someone else going forward.
