MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia will set up a National Coaching Panel to oversee coaching development and education in a bid to strengthen the grass-roots and return the Wallabies to the top of world rugby.

Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika and former World Cup-winning coach Bob Dwyer met with the Australian Rugby Union's high performance boss Ben Whitaker and other top rugby brains in Sydney on Thursday to begin thrashing out an over-arching coaching plan from junior to elite level.
