Hamish McLennan: How Rugby Union fell apart in Australia (Podcast)

Hamish McLennan’s reign had been over by two minutes when the first text message appeared on his phone. It capped an extraordinary 48 hours, a coup at the top of Australian rugby led by six aggrieved state unions – four considered minor rugby states – which led to an intervention of Australia’s richest man, Andrew Forrest, Nicola Forrest, former prime minister John Howard and Olympic boss John Coates. After five meetings over 48 hours, Herbert was put forward by the rest of the board as a candidate. Rugby Australia confirmed to The Australian all but McLennan voted for Herbert to take over. It had followed a wave of negative publicity around McLennan, with allegations in the Australian Financial Review that he had been “partying in Paris” during the World Cup – which he emphatically denied – and bore the brunt of Australia’s worst-ever World Cup result where the Wallabies failed to make the quarter-finals.
