Spot on with you comment. Its not good for the game, and its not a great watch on FTA! Its not the product any rugby fan should want to be put on public display. Personally somewhere in-between the hyperbole and throwing the baby out with the bathwater the were some positives for the Tahs and...

Had us wondering what it was. Apparently those shots were from a 4K Camera.

I will always welcome the likes of Twiggy who are willing to support rugby and was optimistic about his involvement. One thing we don't know is the level of politics and other "influencing factors" between RA and those like Twiggy. Alas, even with the best of intentions I always suspect...

I am still not sold on White and think there are too many "old dog" issues like we got a preview of in the Super Rugby final. I can't see even if he learns some new tricks that he wont slip back and default to his "old dog" ways. I can still see him being the biggest risk to the Brumbies success so I...

Um, our Miss 4 know players names and recognises them on TV and at the game. She is still not happy that Joe Powell, her favourite player, has left the Brumbies. Like Merrow above, we have had our at games since they were a few moths old and they look forward to going to game.

Josephine Sukkar is also worth mentioning as are many others. No doubt they did do some good work. As have many others; irrespective of gender. I am sadly unaware of much of their work or the work of many of the board members; as I believe many would be. But then again, the board is a...

One thing is clear about Aussie rugby is its absolute intent to always protect and maintain the "old boys club" and the incestuous controls over the game for personal power and profit over any success for the game. "She" made radical changes that have reaped rewards. It was a similar story at...

Personally I think it's a really good thing and hope we grow as a feeder nation. Yes, we look stupid, but once we get past our own stupidity its green pastures. That's if we ever can. Consider the rich irony in all of this and that really really highlights that penny really hasn't dropped for...

The comment was in agreement with your post but also highlighting where I perceived the lack of support existed (which is the same as your view). You are spot on!

It interesting that it appears that the lack of support for the NRC comes from within, but the "coveted" club rugby and related supposed championships, that are well established, are pre-packaged and on the shelf for sale but seem to hold little interest to broadcasters. It begs the question...

Agree! Anyone except Foxtel or our current Aussie Rugby broadcast team would be great. Even the American's could do a better pre-show even though would be clueless about the game. It will suck balls! (as usual sadly).

Murphys a loss. Hewat will also be missed to a degree. Cue the CLL attack coach announcement. My prediction for the biggest loss that will impact Brumbies 2021 campaign is Joe going due to White. Can anyone confirm if Browne still on the books?

He will be missed.

It is intriguing to and consider that here we are on page 936, with what we all wanted and knew needed to happen; the death of Super Rugby. But, still, perversely, and almost like we are scared to leave the cult, or stray from the institutionalised thinking, the conversation is still all about...

Private equity is fine - but you need stable product that not the child of the NZRU or RA for investors to look at it seriously. Would you get in bed or make a deal with NZRU or RA atm? It also needs to one step removed so it's not a national player development comp. TBH, I think the need...

All Alan Jones wants is to be in the conversation - any conversation. What the conversation is about is irrelevant; he just wants needs to be in it.

I think you are spot on with this. Which then leads to the big question about how much will sports change as a result of COVID and how they will look for the next 10yrs? IMHO, I really can't see sports being able to pay athletes what they did in the past if they want to survive. Between...

^^^^ What's it also screams is why are so many bids put forward and rejected even though they are supposedly full of such promise? The second question is why none of this is doing anything to stop the decline of the game? Private equity is all well and good, but there are realities to sport...

Yep, and without the need to spend on advertising via sports!:eek:

In case some have missed it more positive news on top of the finals win: The Plus500 Brumbies are pleased to announce that Plus500 have extended their naming rights partnership until the end of 2021. https://brumbies.rugby/news/2020/09/17/plus500-brumbies-super-rugby-naming-rights-extension...
