    Fiji into Super Rugby?

    In the current set up this is such a bad idea. Until 2014 and from 2009, I went to Fiji to work four times a year for between two and three weeks a time. What I can tell you it is a very poor country, with the Indian half liking soccer and the Islander half liking Rugby. The Indians have...

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    SBS do a wonderful job with the sports they have. Soccer is moving away from SBS and they have a new head so this could be the start of something very very very special.

    The Awful Truth About The ARU's Financial Position

    I don't have or can offer no solution to this and we have spoken about it before. The AFL has I read the other day 220 season games if you include finals, League 216 I think, and Soccer 140 games plus their Cup games and ACL games.
