Peter Bills of the New Zealand Herald reports on Bob Dwyer's savage criticism of Australia head coach Robbie Deans.
"Mark it down as the time in history when Australian rugby's love affair with Robbie Deans finally died.
"The fall-out from the latest defeat of Deans' Wallabies in this season's Tri-Nations, began to get serious yesterday. Media men dipped pens into their pots of acid and began furiously to scrawl their invective.
"But none matched the words of former Australian coach Bob Dwyer, who condemned Deans as "pig-headed, blinkered and bloody minded". All of which represented a decent serve, in anyone's language ...
"Dwyer, writing on his website www.bobdwyerrugby.com, savaged the New Zealander who is now under fierce pressure as Wallaby coach. He wrote "Selection plays a vital role in the fortunes of a team. The Springboks have belatedly begun to understand that simple fact but not so the Wallabies."
