    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I'm glad you feel we should all settle for poor leadership. I don't think we should.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    It's on the nose all right. The game's management is weak, if not complicit with all manner of dealings in the grey zone. Then we have the coach of the national team at his petulant worst overnight. That was an un-Australian performance in front of a worldwide audience. He brought shame on the...

    You know what, it's helping me. Just the thought of it gives me butterflies.

    Senate enquiry into Australian Rugby

    Hi there - not sure at the Federal level. At state level, it's not uncommon. Newton? I don't recognise the name, sorry, but I'm also don't really follow these matters closely.

    Eastwood = Papworth. No fan of the Force, having used his bully pulpit to call for their axing from day dot and instrumental in lobbying for an increase in funding to "grass roots" i.e. - Shield. You can't tell me that there wasn't a deal done. The ARU went from "pissing it up the wall" to...

    Senate enquiry into Australian Rugby

    My sarcasm-o-meter is on the blink. The penalties for contempt of a Senate committee include The Parliamentary Privileges Act 1987 provides that a House of Parliament may impose terms of imprisonment or substantial fines for individuals and corporations as a penalty for contempt. To date the...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    In that he owns a newspaper and digital platform, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong? Or that he's incredibly wealthy and lauded on a folk hero, Steve Jobs-type scale in most of Asia, through no real fault of his own, except he once had a nice idea. Your comment has a bit of the Jones...

    Senate enquiry into Australian Rugby

    So, Patsy Clyne is upset about being spoken about in a mean way in some tough talking. Clyne gave a number to save the Force, then barely two days later backed away from it. Clyne lied to the Senators. West Australia will fight on relentlessly. You best believe that. FUARU.

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    Seems a lot of people death-riding the concept before it's out the gates. If any of Reg's objectives are met, wouldn't that be for the betterment of the game?

    Force 2018

    The disconnect is disgraceful, spot on. The $50-m proposal did not go to the board, nor even to the constituent unions, so whom are the ARU acting for? The executive tells us that a few million a year - $6m - is enough for the grassroots. What would $50m in a lump sum, invested wisely right...

    Force 2018

    Just lie upon ridiculous lie. So, Patsy spoke to the RWA board on Sunday, saying a bucketload of cash was all that was required to keep the Force in the comp. Less than 48 hours later, $50m is not enough. Didn't like the conditions, whatever they may be? Thought you'd be gifted it, to...

    Force 2018

    Interesting - So, Super Rugby must be at least 15 teams, not exactly 15, as the ARU keeps telling us. And, SANZZZZZR had no role in culling the Force or any Australian team?

    I don't think the depth of his commitment was fully understood east of Eucla. I expect they'll hear about it today. I hope he makes them buy lunch.
