Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan’s petty decision to sack Dave Rennie spoke of a former advertising executive who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. My dad used to measure a man by asking himself the question; would I go into the jungle with him? The first time I met Rennie, I knew he was what Kiwis call a good bugger. He came across the paddock, arm outstretched, his T-shirt stained with sweat and salt of the earth. Rennie is a man who would unhesitatingly have your back.
