He also has to oversee negotiations with the US pension funds over covenants securing the last years placement, to allow the capital raising to go ahead. Lucky he is only part time!

Well the Tahs were actually 4 behind! And no it wasn't clear that you were not inferring that the Tahs ran School comps, but anyway......

I think what he was getting at , is that Schoolboys tend to "play wots in front of them" more than the pro's. If they are on their goal line and see a chance, they will often take it on rather than kicking away for safety. As to the Tahs...... if you can't see that they are paralysed by fear...

I think this pathway is for kids who's only Rugby is the village scene. If you play in this tournament, then this should be your pathway of choice.i.e. you are not eligible for the Schools pathway. IMO it should not be the back up plan for kids who miss out through the Schools pathway, in the...

I agree that the franchises should run a squad of 20's players. Not sure I understand your point with the bolded bit,The 20's guys should have exposure to grade in what sort of format?

Barker boy, playing Village for Newport. In CAS squad as well I believe

If you are from an ISA School yes! A selector may come across you by happenstance if your School happens to play an early season trial against a GPS or maybe a CAS School. A good acid test will be how many Scots backs are selected and how many from Augs. Not many Scots boys left with their...

That actually one thing. Seriously, you have read nothing at all in this thread to suggest JON is being a little fast and loose in his role with the ARU? Tell me one thing then, why is the chairman paid about 3 times what the other board members are paid, if they all just attend the same...

WTF are SBH doing entering in an open state wide comp,when they acknowledge they are not up to Schools Ist standard.

You are obviously saying that this is a short term issue only, not the interim's workload is less than a "full time" chair? as RH correctly point out, the addition of Mac Bank to the shareholder registry complicates matters enormously for the board and in particular the chair who is at the...

Sorry, I don't understand the difference in responsibilities between acting chairman and a chairman in the traditional sense? This company is engaging in capital raising ATM, a complicated and time consuming exercise. The CEO is only new to the job and requires the Chairman to provide him with...

Anyone who thinks that the time a director spends is limited to those he spends in the boardroom at the monthly meeting is out of date with a directors role/responsibilities. Every director I know spends many hours reviewing the board report before each meeting. If they are on comitees then...

The GPS don't play ISA. ISA rarely beat CAS, but there hasn't been much in it the past few years.

Doesn't this whole development/ redevelopment hinge on the QRU being gifted title to land they do not currently own?

WJ, I believe that JON has a full plate with his role at Rugby HQ. Things are not travelling that well in any sphere of the business. For the remuneration he puts his hand out for each year, he is entitled to be pouring all his energy into this role. I don't believe that he has been nearly as...

Just put Deans between JON and a bonus payment.....you won't see Deans for the dust.

Clearly Arbib is conflicted and should step aside, but he won't. Who appointed him?

Crofty, it's not fair because they had too many selected is not an argument. Make an argument for why x or y should have been selected by all means. There were many line ball decisions for the ISA I's, those that were line ball are not in contention for state jumpers in any event. Regardless of...

So minor that they called the Police?

JON has already adopted the Mungo scale of punishment. If you are surplus to requirements (Lote) then their moral indignation and determination to enforce high standards is limitless. If however, you have something they want or need, then moral indignation and minimum behaviour standards are...
