New Australian Rugby Union CEO Bill Pulver has wasted no time in giving his full backing to under-fire Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.

Pulver, who before Wednesday was most well-known as the father of fake collar bomb victim Madeleine, was unveiled as John O'Neill's replacement after an extensive worldwide search.

Before his appointment, there was much speculation surrounding the future of Deans, and some saw the arrival of a new CEO as an opportunity for a clean-out of sorts in the Wallabies coaching setup.

But Pulver gave his unequivocal backing to the 53-year-old New Zealander for the entire 2013 season, including the British and Irish Lions series.

"Last week Mike (ARU chairman Michael Hawker) on behalf of the board of directors confirmed that Robbie will be the coach throughout 2013 and that is 100 per cent consistent with my personal view.

"To be absolutely clear Robbie will be coaching the Wallabies right throughout 2013. And at that point we'll then be considering the ... coach through to the World Cup in 2015."

Pulver was frank in his assessment of the Wallabies' global standing at the moment.

"We're currently ranked No.3 which frankly is probably where we deserve to be," Pulver said.

"New Zealand have set the benchmark for international rugby over the last couple of years and I think that's to be applauded.

"But let me tell you we clearly aspire that number one position and there will be a real sense of urgency around achieving that.
