Wallabies announce mystery man for new coach​

By P. Derr​

An artist's depiction of what the Wallabies' new coach may look like.​

Australia has mysteriously sacked coach John Connolly, in preference for a mysterious new coach, who has just 3 seasons of experience with the gamepad and keyboard. He is adept at both however, and could perhaps give the Aussies another taste of glory, after their two previous wins of the World Cup.

All the new coach had to say was that he hated Fly Halfs, because they're so freakishly good at drop goals and conversion kicks.
