This is a flawed argument and is entirely based on how you think about the situation. As a gay man who grew up playing and refereeing rugby and hearing that sort of language it severely impacted on my mental health. It also severely impacted on most of my gay friends. Language like that is...

If RA and the unions in Australia had some foresight they would seek partnerships with some of these teams so that players can be exchanged for development, and with a condition that Australians playing for partner teams could play for the Wallabies.

MT, CLL or QC (Quade Cooper)?

If it's outcome based then you have to ditch aerial contests all together surely?

Back to rugby, the RA really backedthemselves into a corner here by giving Folau a bit of blank cheque, despite previous precedents for breaking the Code of Conduct. They ought to act before it becomes more of a distraction for them. What's more important from a business perspective? Folau on...

No, Cusack was fine but he was a tactical replacement. We had no replacements left so had to play with 14 following Isi failing the HIA.

That's a really dumb technicality.

They should fine him on this occasion and demand tighter control of his social media. I'd also be issuing him with a warning that further indiscretions will result in heavier fines or playing bans. If I were RA I'd also be donating his fine to a LGBTQ community group to show they're serious...

Potgieter was fined and attended Convicts training after his incident. Folau should receive an equal or greater punishment. His profile is higher and his target is an entire group of people, of which I am one. Folau is basically saying that gay people are worse than he is and are not worthy. And...

No that was moronic from Phipps. You don't touch officials or staff.

I wonder what the crowd number is. Looking at the stadium I'd say they'd be lucky to get 30k. Theyd have hoped for a bigger crowd there surely.

I think it reasonable to expect that it will affect how some players perform on the field. When there is a lot of instability in the organisation it is likely to impact on most employees in some way. Uncertainty is not a good thing particularly when it's uncertainty about how the future of your...

“The player accepted my indication of sanction of 2 weeks, and is therefore suspended from all forms of rugby up to and including Sunday, 24 April 2016. The player is free to resume playing on 25 April 2016.” It seems to me that they're commencing this suspension from the coming weekend, and...

Interesting that Roff's name had been floated to replace Jones earlier this week, particularly considering he is currently the CEO of the UC Union.

Interesting to see Leseberg has been appointed as an interim. He is a very astute rugby mind, but I certainly don't think he's as credentialed as Jones is in terms of a CEO.

I thought I'd read that Parker was suing Jones, not the other way around. Also I suspect you'll find that the seriousness of the police investigation is probably causing the strain. I'll give Jones the benefit of the doubt here, because the sale of Griffith was supposed to sure up the Brumbies...

That is probably the worst call of the season.

If it takes that many replays, maybe just go with the call of the ref on field? Stupid though.

And who wouldn't make that a priority. In reality Elyse is also a highly gifted athlete and she can probably get paid more in England - I dont know whst the pay rate for female athletes is there but it's gotta be better than Australia. This way they can both enjoy competitive professional...

Lucky this match is on the 31st of October then...
