    The new Wallaby jersey

    To me it is a gesture of inclusiveness towards a group of peoples who this country treated very shabbily for a long time. If people see a gesture of inclusivity as divisive they might need to reassess their logic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I still don't understand what Kafer knows about coaching other than how to be an unmitigated disaster at it. A good footy brain does not make you a good coach. As for the concept, that does seem like the sensible way forwards if the goal for Super Rugby is as a development league for test...

    Rebels 2018

    The reports on Friday were that they had come to an agreement. To me the bigger issue is do the ARU still have the option to renegotiate with SANZAAR. If they don't then the biggest two lawsuits will probably win. If they do no one can predict what happens next year, but hopefully the five...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I knew Kafer had a bad stint at Saracens, but wasn't sure how bad so I googled it. Appointed in true Australian fashion. By a mate, after a global talent search. "Saracens, after casting their net worldwide to find a successor to their head coach Wayne Shelford and coming up with nothing...

    To me that actually shows a plateau or improvement coming off the back of each disruption. After the Force introduction things had stabilised and were improving up until the Rebels introduction. Things were pretty stable after the first season Rebels bump was absorbed, but they then decided to...

    Rebels V Jaguares - AAMI Park - 14th July

    Funny how experiences can differ. We got there just on kick off. I was taking my 2yr old and 6mth old to their first test match. Security saw us with the pram about 20m from even reaching the queue. Yelled out for us to come over. We got there, he stopped the line to let us through with only a...

    Glad we are aiming for improvement in 2018 and dropping pre-match from the preferred player breaking options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NRC onwards and upwards

    After all the negativity around super rugby this year I am really looking forward to the NRC. After watching the three Fiji tests I am also really excited about what the Fijian side brings, and as a point of difference it needs to be well marketed - it should make for some entertaining viewing...

    But there comes a point where you can only demand that if the opportunity exists. If the SA/Pro12 thing works, in 2020 SA may take that opportunity off the table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What does the WA govt have to do with it anyway. WARU are the ones who have the alliance agreement. Edit: maybe that's why the ARU think they can deal with the WA govt - because they don't have to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He also had five years as player/coach in first and second level rugby in Japan and three years at the Rebels. He has been coaching for 13 years at various levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I would think the main factor will be if they get more money from their share of two sets of TV rights as opposed to what they get from consolidating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand (2017)

    For me Lions are too close to England to support. As wrong as this sounds (even to me) I want the All-Blacks to win and win by embarrassingly large margins. The rest of the world needs to understand what we deal with all the time. Also have an English mate who is a bit too cocky at the moment...

    Rebels 2018

    The licence would come with the guarantees that are protecting the Rebels now. On the sale to other parties side, I have never seen a contract where the right to approve or deny assignment of a contract doesn't require the party who has to do so to act reasonably in doing so. Refusal on the...

    But that's not the point I am making. If there is a sense of entitlement it is because we have helped bankroll the Force and Brumbies for so long. About a third to a quarter of ARU revenue is attributable to states other than NSW or QLD. However that is split up means that the other states and...
