The Wallabies are dealing with a stunning blow eight months out from this year’s World Cup after assistant coach Scott Wisemantel resigned.

Wisemantel has been part of the Australian coaching setup for about three years, having re-joined the national team before the 2020 test campaign.

He had worked alongside Eddie Jones in England before returning to Australia.

In a statement from Rugby Australia, Wisemantel revealed he left his role to do what was best for him and his family.

Wisemantel says the World Cup is the pinnacle of our sport and requires 100 per cent commitment and that’s something that he is unable to give.

Wallabies Head Coach Dave Rennie says the Wallabies will miss Wisemantel, who has been a massive part of his group for a few years and has been the top man and one of the best coaches he has ever worked with.

Meanwhile, Rugby Australia will begin their process to find Wisemantel’s replacement.
