Les Kiss has been appointed as the next Wallabies coach, finalizing a lengthy selection process and becoming the fifth coach in six years. Currently contracted with the Queensland Reds, Kiss will begin his new role after the Rugby Championship concludes, succeeding Joe Schmidt, who left for family reasons. With a solid coaching background, Kiss aims to revitalize the Wallabies ahead of the 2027 World Cup, as they seek to recover from a disappointing 2023 campaign.
