A penny for the thoughts of Dave Rennie. The former Australia head coach, who was unceremoniously ditched to make room for the Eddie Jones circus, has largely kept his counsel ever since but his views on precisely what to make of this desperately low ebb that the Wallabies have reached would be mandatory listening.
The manner in which Rennie was pushed aside never sat well and you cannot help but see this as comeuppance for Rugby Australia. The second coming of Jones has been an inglorious failure and it will only deepen the wounds for the 63-year-old that it was his old sparring partner Warren Gatland to hammer home the extent of it. By the end of this humiliation, the Wallabies had long since thrown in the towel, Wales playing out a glorified training session.
