If the South Africa game is anything to go by, they are not.

The problem is he can't do anything else. Setting aside the cliches about looking pretty - wingers actually have a lot of roles they need to fulfill. They need to pivot with their other wing and fullback to cover the sidelines and backfield for kicks, they need to return kicks, chase kicks...

That seems to be a big part of what is being restructured. Aren't the Wallabies the only profitable facet of rugby in Australia? The financial stick seems like a pretty easy one to wield.

Don't think that's fair. Wasn't it the cash being thrown at the WAGs which got them upset? seems reasonable to be upset about that.

Was the high performance plan the thing Rod Kafer was supposed to deliver a few years back? I guess you wouldn't expect more from a press release but it's so fucken light on detail about how they plan to achieve any of it.

Nah fuck that, surely its real estate agents.

Seems to me that is more or less inevitable and his own fugn fault.

It's shocking. At least if it was 2am Sunday you could just have a rager and stay up. Can't fucken do that for a 2am Monday kick off. Bloody joke.

Seems like they've outlined what will stay the same and what the target outcomes of the proposed changes are, without actually saying what the changes will be outside some contract restructuring. A professional coaching pathway would be huge, if it's included.

Through the power of lawyering it has been determined that he accepted that he committed an act of foul play but contended that it was not a red card level offence. He admitted he was guilty, just not that guilty. Which I honestly can't see any reason not to do. Surely you would always admit...

Do you have Stan? a few work arounds for watching it on your phone overseas discussed here.

For some reason Kiwis still have a feeling of rivalry with us. I've speculated elsewhere that it's because deep down they want us to be good so that Union stays relevant in the region.

That sounds a lot like it's our last chance now. I.e. turn it around now or in 5 years it's all over.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't think about the women's game at all.

Rugby reacts it doesn't plan. They don't have the bandwidth to think ahead because they are still dealing with the last thing they fucked up.

How the hell are they running a union based on verbal agreements? jesus christ the incompetence of these blokes. It's like risk management 101. They could've pulled a generic contract from the internet for free ffs. I'm with Qwerty, they should pull the match.

It would've just been pressure for the decision to go a certain way - not straight cash for an outcome. If you didn't know that international sporting organisations are corrupt in this way then I've got some bad news for you. But, fair enough. It could have been incompetence I suppose. And a...

Corruption isn't just brown paper bags under a table. It's using any kind of undue influence to pressure a decision maker or obtain a beneficial outcome from a system. It was a Six Nations judiciary and the Six Nations certainly would not have wanted England's captain banned for the rugby...

I think everyone agrees that Farrell should be banned, no? In fact, I don't think there is a single rugby fan on earth that doesn't think that was a corrupt as fuck decision.

Is there a more dysfunctional sporting organisation in Australia?
