Wily Darren Coleman has detailed the lengths he reached to try to expose any "cancers" in the ranks after taking charge of the NSW Waratahs at their lowest ebb.
To his surprise and delight he couldn't find any, Coleman revealed in the euphoric aftermath to the Waratahs' drought-breaking 40-10 victory over Fijian Drua on Friday night.
Losers no more, the NSW Waratahs opened the inaugural Super Rugby Pacific with a five-tries-to-one rout at Commbank Stadium that banished at least some of the bitter memories of last year's humiliating winless campaign.
