    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    They pretty much let him off after what happened with the Rebels, and signed him at the tahs. He's 25. I don't buy the fact he "needed to be closer to home" for support to behave himself. He was just let off the hook. Its clear now that moving closer home didn't change his personality one bit...

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    I had the pleasure of meeting him for a brief ten seconds whilst at QRU HQ doing some work experience in July 2011. It's where my admiration for Ewen and the set up he had there started. Also with QC (Quade Cooper) before he was put in the dog house. I knew with QC (Quade Cooper) and now with Ewen in both difficult times...

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    I think its obvious to say that Ewen didn't adhere to Hooper and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) saying Beale should stay because "he's a good bloke and a good player". But the ARU does. There is something that is really wrong if you allow player to do what Beale did, and just because he's a good player, let him off. Imo...

    This whole thing makes a joke of the ARU marketing theme of "We're in. RU?"

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    I echo what you say. Many years ago I said something stupid on social media because emotions were high. Its not right and in the end you look back it and you think you are an idiot. If anything we should all see what character assassination did to Ewen, and back the fuck away from creating...

    I actually don't blame you at all. Its a sad day when the most diehard Rugby fans turn on their team, but I believe in this case that the players and the establishment have let us and Ewen down.

    I actually hate to agree. Even a tweet from Drew Mitchell kind of got my blood boiling. Even in such a sad circumstance, it has to be about the players. Personally if it was me with 100 caps, I wouldn't condone comments like that. I'd tell Drew to delete it. Difficult situation I know and the...

    Australian Rugby has lost a lot of fans tonight

    Ewen McKenzie Resignation

    Totally unrelated in terms of what happened tonight, but I feel an element of the deep issues in Australian Rugby is politics from the grassroot level. Something that happened yesterday left me feeling empty after a handful of players, some not present at a trial get selected for a team, in my...

    I'm not entirely sure I can watch the Wallabies anymore. I've lost respect for the establishment and for what it allows, and has continued to allow. It really just saddens me.

    Holy shit. This is probably the most depressing moment in Australian sport.

    Wallaby Captaincy

    I think when you are talking about the best person for the role, you have to question whether their position in the squad is highly contested, and if that player lost form, would there be an obvious player who is currently not in the XV due to the coaches preference, but their ability isn't...

    Kurtley Beale

    Pretty tired of hearing about KB (Kurtley Beale). He's been pampered long enough and given so many chances! Someone should remind him of his roots, and how lucky he is to be where is. Such a wasted talent.

    Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

    I really can't remember that offload. Couldn't have been too special . Yet I remember every offload Kieran Read, Dane Coles and Franks threw vs the Boks. It actually haunts me... Scarily enough the style of play and decision making isn't nearly as bad as it was under Deans. Which probably makes...

    Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

    He seemed to do alright vs France? It has to be better than whatever pass Simmons was trying to throw last Saturday.

    Springboks vs Wallabies @ Newlands 27/9/2014

    I see Skelton's offloading ability in general play to bet the thing we are missing most!So I'm disappointed he isn't playing. Our skill level just isn't up to scratch against the ABs and Springbok
