The departures from the selection team are multiplying in a spectacular way! Because after Scott Robertson (New Zealand) and Steve Borthwick (England), it is the turn of Australia coach Joe Schmidt to see one of his assistants go. David Nucifora is said to be on the verge of leaving the Wallabies to join another team: Scotland (he will replace Jim Mallinder, who left his role as the Scottish FA’s performance director in June).
Departure without surprises?
He is expected to leave in November. Joe Schmidt will therefore lose someone he has known for some time since David Nucifora was Ireland’s performance director between 2014 and 2024, and subsequently worked with Schmidt as Clover XV coach between 2013 and 2019. The departure is clearly not a surprise within rugby Australia, as general manager Phil Waugh pointed out in his comments to the media “Roar”: “We have always been very open and transparent in our discussions and we were under no illusions about the fact that he would discuss it with other associations. There is nothing surprising about his work with Scotland.”.
To summarize
The departures from the selection team are multiplying in an astonishing way! Because after Scott Robertson (New Zealand) and Steve Borthwick (England), it is the turn of Australia coach, Joe Schmidt, to see one of his assistants leave
