Former Wallabies<\/a> Stephen Hoiles and Morgan Turinui have called on rugby to borrow from rival sports in a bid to improve their product.<\/p>\n

\ufeffHoiles, the outgoing Randwick coach<\/a>, liked the NRL's<\/a> allowance of 'trainers' to be on the field during play, offering direction to players.<\/p>\n

"We always need to look at the other sports and what some sports do really well," he said on Stan Sport's Between Two Posts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"Rugby league have a person on the field the entire time your team is in attack and it's always a legend. It's a Geoff Toovey, it's an Allan Langer. It's highly qualified players that are on the field to help and that's happening at, like, the greatest game of all.<\/p>\n

"So why wouldn't we do it?"<\/p>\n

Hoiles said that should extend to all levels of the game, including juniors who would most benefit from some extra pointers in what is a complicated sport.<\/p>\n

Turinui countered by saying 'runners' were already rampant in the Shute Shield and threw out another idea from football.<\/p>\n

"We should have them (coaches) on the sideline, like in the Premier League, like in football" he said.<\/p>\n

"I'd love Cheik (Michael Cheika) on the sideline in a suit."<\/p>\n

Turinui, who coached Lille Metropole in France, added that sight was more common in European rugby.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Me, Scott Wisemantel and Chris Whitaker coached a Wallaby XV that Spring Tour (against the French Barbarians in 2016) in Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

"Benny Whitaker was there, a few RA (Rugby Australia) officials, and we were on the sideline and we were like yelling the whole time.<\/p>\n

\"Argentina<\/p>\n

"They (Wallaby XV players) couldn't believe it.<\/p>\n

"It's just a different mindset. You almost have to yell… when I coached in France I'd sit up high, watch it, all that stuff.<\/p>\n

"The players said 'you have to come down and yell at us, we need you to yell at us.' We're not used to it."<\/p>\n

Former LA Giltinis coach \ufeffHoiles added that it was similar in the United States.<\/p>\n

"They let you, in the MLR, coach on the sideline because they want it to be interactive," he said.<\/p>\n

"They want the fans to see the coaches."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
