The Wallabies' coaching picture has finally become clear with Les Kiss set to take over. The process was lengthy and had its challenges, but there are hopes for a smooth transition.

It took a while for Kiss to be confirmed as Schmidt's successor. RA's preference to promote from within and do due diligence caused delays. The Queensland Rugby Union's stance also prolonged negotiations.

Schmidt staying on for more tests could be a good result, but there are concerns about the timing for Kiss to make changes before the World Cup.

The succession plan's impact on players like Noah Lolesio is considered. Also, the policy of not picking players headed overseas is discussed.

Now, Kiss focuses on the Reds, while Schmidt prepares for the Lions test.
