    Sets the scene, I am at Ettalong Beach, the main street in a café sharing banana bread and coffee with “She who must be obeyed” . Its Saturday around 10:30 the sun is warm, the day is pleasant. As we drove into Ettalong there is a shared I think rugby ground between League and Union. It...

    Strew & TOCC From the above you got me thinking about sponsorship and I foolishly believed Rugby was well ahead of the game. I checked four clubs and TBH have no idea about total amounts but I went to the Following clubs in Rugby the Tahs the biggest of the Super teams in Australia and the...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    No one is arguing the concept of the NRC. No one is arguing the need for a national domestic competition. No one is arguing the need to grow both our major competitions and broadcast ratings. The argument seems to be around the best mix to achieve. This is where the arguments begin. In...

    TWAS Gnostic is right and said it far better than me no matter the logic of your argument many have not come across to teh NRC. Beyond that a number of knowledgeable rugby folk both here and on the Roar constantly point it short comings. I have only recently found some time to be on this...
