The whole thing is so dumb. Christy Doran and others were reporting he was out almost straight away after he was injured

Previous reporting on it, although it must have been pretty nice accommodation to get to $2.6m https://www.planetrugby.com/news/rugby-australia-boss-would-make-same-call-again-despite-eddie-jones-disaster

No doubt about this. I just don't see what bringing the captain into the selection tent achieves, especially if their own position is under threat. The Australian cricket team used to occasionally tear itself apart on overseas tours because of this And which captain? Eddie had 6 of them

Las Vegas Tourism Authority supported it (who knows for how much). 40,000 visitors to Vegas probably meant it was worth it too

I know some American based Aussies (I used to play rugby union with them!) who were saying 40 to 45k during the game. They said it was a pretty great event

Is this suggesting the team captain should have a role in team selection? That seems.....unwise

Rebels are voting members - surely they'd be able to just request this? Edit - I'm wrong aren't I. They were voting members, now RA owns the license. Will be interesting to see how hard VRU goes, as opposed to MRRU

Has anyone seen a legit reason why the Rebels believe RA should be paying Rebel's Wallabies tax bill? That seems to be the chief argument and basis for legal action (and also the existential threat to RA)

It's unlikely it would be grant funding. They may look at a loan to get us to the Lions cash injection, and then something similar to get to the World Cup

You're missing the third element to the equation. Equity = Assets minus liability. The Reds have $12m in debt (2022), but they are fine because they have $44m in assets.

I think you might be neglecting how big a role the Waratahs $24m in assets and positive equity (at least in 2022) played in the Tahs centralisation decisions.

I think a lot of people think of RA as the head office, with states and Super Rugby teams as branch offices, when in fact it's up the other way around. RA reports to the member unions and Super Rugby teams (+RUPA)

It's all a trade-off. Stan offered their $100m/3 year with a non-exclusive FTA game on Saturday night and sharing all Wallaby tests. Apparently Fox offered $40m for all games exclusively on Fox (ex -Wallabies). Ra took less money to get the games on FTA The reality is FTA Super Rugby games rate so...

The member unions and super rugby teams (+RUPA) have already banded together. The organisation they all setup and "own" is currently called Rugby Australia. They all get to vote for how things are run, get to vote for all board members and can even remove the chair of the board if they don't...

A lot of the growth since June 2021 will be Champions League as well.

He binds on the side/chest of the TH and then that slips round/down every scrum. Thought he was /we were really lucky to get the penalty just before the final lineout maul try

From @footyindustryAU on Twitter

I reckon the FTA rating are kind of irrelevant now. Sure it's nice to have numbers to look at, but Stan aren't selling advertising, they are selling subscriptions, so they'd much rather have everyone on the app. If the broadcaster isn't interested in prioritizing the FTA numbers, then it's all...

Just quietly, I don't think Peni Ravai scrummed legally once after he came on either - elbow pointing straight down every time. Other refs are going to ping him off the park. Did anyone else see Liam Wright pull the Peter O'Mahony move of pushing his propp's elbow back into something resembling...
