So yes - there was more to come.....Nick Taylor's headline says it all: Rugby Australia emails show Western Force didn’t stand a chance Below is the article on 6 August 2017 in which the ARU claimed to have been blindsided by the Rebels when news leaked of the ownership transfer on Friday...

This article makes a mockery of EARU submissions before the recent Senate Inquiry and supports the statements by Western Force officials. The next steps in the investigation into this matter are going to be worth watching. Rugby Union in Australia will be better for these dirty deals being...

Apologies TOCC - got caught up with logos. :)

Interesting to hear Tah's fans sounding like disgruntled Western Force supporters. The ARU/RA - the gift which just keeps on giving - while destroying the great game of rugby in Australia. Bring on the Indo Pacific Rugby competition!

The Quick Facts from the above Press Release give some idea of the competition: + Indo Pacific Rugby Championship is the new premier, professional club rugby competition + Six clubs from six cities in the Indo Pacific region + Time zone that captures 60% of the world’s population + Region has...

Great support from Asia Rugby. https://www.asiarugby.com/2017/11/20/indo-pacific-rugby-championship-2/ Keep on filibustering EARU as rugby in the region moves on.

The EARU Board has consistently shown that it can be very quick to make the wrong decisions and very slow to make the right ones. This and other boards have simply ignored the recommendations from successive, expensive reviews as they didn't fit the localised agenda. The EARU Board is only a...

I can't find any announcement. It appears to be a 6:2 bench as Speight isn't in the team photo for the match.

Good strategy. Don't pay the EARU a single $. Regroup and move forward.

We should all get some comfort from that as I assume that you're an expert in Australian Corporate Law and governance. I suggest that we should wait and see what unfolds............. For the sake of the future of Rugby I hope the Corporate Watchdogs 'goes for their guts'.

This is an interesting thread. If you go back and read from the start many positions are entrenched and unchanged despite the report from the Senate Inquiry being tabled yesterday. Essentially they continually stress – “nothing to see here – move on!” The Senate Inquiry was never about the Force...

I reckon the Rugby Australia Board members do a bit of self-assessment and watch this on a daily basis and assess their own involvement in the matters uncovered by the Senate Inquiry. Stay on if if their personal actions and involvement were always in the spirit of Gus Pichot's closing speech...
