If they are only looking for 500k I'm sure some of the suits from the chairman's club have it covered. Seems all a bit far fetched when the Chairman is emailing members an hour before all the papers are writing articles with no official sources.

Talked to someone today who's pretty informed. Said it's just media speculation to try get the Rebels to conform to RA centralizing everything. Considering 2025 has two Lions games in Melbourne, followed by a home world cup rugby will be kept in Melbourne for a least more years. There is no...

He left Ireland for his daughters health issues and move closer to family, I think after 2 years he will ask his family if they are happy or not. That's what his been basing all gigs on these days. I think it was Luke Fitzgerald said, his attention to detail is incredible. Once left his hotel...

Well age wise that's his career over

Actually Lions tests are considered full test caps, they never use to be but the status was changed by IRB at some stage to reward caps.

A Muppet on the field, but always knew from interviews he would be a good commentator.

Anzac day falls on a Thursday, what does Super Rugby fixture you ask? 2 Friday and 4 Saturday games. Surely a Thursday game should have been scheduled.

The other key part, is the ease of flying. You have multiple airlines as well as other travel options. Unlike Super Rugby where maybe only Brisbane has access to a 2nd airport for ease of travel. The die hard fans generally book the flights within minutes of the fixture before the airlines even...

Internationals use to be June with a few rounds in July then finals, I'd prefer to play through a June window for 3 weeks and have the season running into July/August anyway.

All caught up (Pissed off) Firstly, Australian rugby cannot afford to lose any teams, the view that going back to 4 teams will make Aus rugby stronger is rubbish. The biggest problem with supporting Australian rugby is lack of games, always has been. 7/8 home games a year and 1 international...

Murray v Casey on the bench

Really? I know of some quite good junior rugby players going to Western Jets football trials by invite, they had never played a game of club footy and were invited just because of the potential to be converted. Can also add, Australia is losing a few young guys to collage 7s programs in the USA...

Just roughly 200 caps difference in the 9 and 10 positions,

he might get an assistant role, but the Lions clashes heavily with French top 14 finals so I doubt he will be involved.

Name not getting a mention on here who would be ideal is Leo Cullen, 1 Heineken Cup, 4 URC, only signs one year deals with Leinster. Would understand the Australian rugby landscape cause it's the same as Ireland. Understands central contracting. Coaching record, 220 games with 78% win record...

Does it?? The Ireland team everybody keep mentioning Rennie's close lose was no where near full strength. Jack Crowley was starting his first game in 10 jersey, Jimmy O'Brien 1 test cap, Stuart McCloskey less then 10 caps. So you had a 9/10 combo who never played together and wouldn't have even...

Well I pretty much mean, he was good for 2015 and then for 2016-19 the Wallabies were as bad as they have been now.

And you take away the 6 wins at the 2015 RWC and his percentage is below 40.

O'Gara also turned down international assistant jobs a couple of years ago because he wasn't ready. I think he will end up coaching France, I don't think he will want the added pressures of coaching Munster or Ireland. Leo Cullen (I hate Leinster with a passion) wouldn't be a bad get, he signs...
