00:00 As you know I've resigned. Post the World Cup there was always going to be a decision to be made whether we could change Australian rugby or not.
00:12 I went in with a plan, had a commitment from Rugby Australia on what that looked like.
00:19 And when the unity of where we were going wasn't the same, it's not because of lack of desire from Rugby Australia but there's other forces at play, then the only thing I could do was resign.
00:33 It's got nothing to do with results or, obviously the results are disappointing.
00:37 But I went in there with a plan to change Australian rugby which not only involves the team but the system to put it together.
00:44 When you've had 20 years of unsuccessful rugby, it's because something's wrong in the system and the system needs to change.
00:55 And we went in with a plan of how we wanted to change the system and that's unable to be changed so I felt like my job would be compromised the whole time for the next four years which I wasn't prepared to do.
