It seems the Wallabies coach Robbie Deans is in line for a contract extension even before the Rugby World Cup.
The Sydney Morning Herald believes Deans will be reappointed for at least another two seasons, and that his chances of an extended contract have been given a tremendous boost by John O'Neill's acceptance of a contract extension that will keep him in charge at the Australian Rugby Union until the end of 2013.
O'Neill took the bold step of appointing Deans as Australia's first foreign-born coach three years ago.
Wallabies players have made it known they want Deans to stay on after the World Cup, and one star has even said he'd go overseas if Deans left after the World Cup.
