I know I am slowing down a bit, but please tell me exactly how RA could have avoided the whole mess without making a different kind of mess.

That's the sort of thinking that will make Australian rugby great again. :rolleyes:

I saw them play a few times during my first spell in HKG. They were notable for their fierce defence. Yes, they were certainly pretty competitive (talking about XVs of course).

No good negotiator, on either side, would publicise anything that anybody should believe, until the deal is done.

Cook Island heritage, just like our new Wallaby coach. Just saying.

Yep, and we do that occasionally. But we have a Yamaha Aventage Receiver driving a couple of big (probably old-fashioned) JBL speakers, Foxtel is the source.

Totally depends on your stage of life, I would guess. We have the maximum Foxtel package, and we watch movies as well as sport, of course, not to mention our FTA viewing, which is all through Foxtel. We would retain Foxtel even if the rugby rights go elsewhere, simply because it is the...

I thought about reporting your post for excessive optimism, but I decided to like it instead.

Like it or not, the media uses interviews from old farts as well as from young geniuses who have all the answers, many of which are facile and contradictory. Dick Marks, incidentally, might be an old fart, but he is not an old Randwick fart. In fact I do not think he is an old Shute Shield fart...

You would go bonkers fixing up all the spelling problems around here.

A couple of points in Rennie's favour. Firstly his cultural background might give him an advantage in managing those in our elite playing stocks who of a similar background. Secondly, it does seem that a disproportionate number of the best coaches are New Zealanders. That must mean something...

We might be able to afford his sister Julia.

When the Force was first admitted to Super Rugby, it was largely because there was a huge amount of community support for a team based in Perth. I doubt that a team can be "created", unless it is built on genuine and committed community support. And I do not see many signs of that. Sydney...

The way we lost to Wales, and the way that we played against Fiji, certainly did not make me proud to be a supporter. Sad and sorry rather than humiliated.

I really could not understand why a lot of money was spent on a winger, at the time, particularly when the Rebels needed a couple more very strong performing tight forwards. But I was dead wrong. This chap is a wonderful footballer, he is worth every cent of his salary.

Angus Bell will be in the mix, I reckon.

Back in the good old, bad old, days, Queensland wore maroon. I for one am happy to see them honouring their traditions.

She must have been wasting a lot of her own and her workmates' time, I assume. Is this not a cause for dismissal?

Exactly. I thought it was a pretty interesting interview. Particularly the stuff about Izzy. This was an interview that sought to elicit information, rather than go on the attack. Perhaps our lives would be better if we had more interviews like this.

There was no perfect candidate, how on earth could there be??????
