SYDNEY — Robbie Deans will be removed as Wallabies coach and replaced by Queensland Reds coach Ewen McKenzie Monday, according to reports in Australian media. Fairfax Media said Monday that McKenzie edged his ACT Brumbies counterpart, South African Jake White, to replace New Zealander Deans, who was contracted until the end of the year. The reported change comes immediately after Australia was beaten by the British and Irish Lions in Sunday's decider of their three-test series. Already under pressure to improve the team's performance, Deans' tenure was put under even more scrutiny following the Lions loss. — AP
