    What about the Balmain bloke warren Livingstone? Business background, love of rugby and a visionary to boot.

    End of Year Tour 2012

    How did Veae (sp?) gofor the Brumbies this year? Surely if he had any form he would be a better long term option than Auelua who is 29.

    Waratahs 2013

    Disappointed Safaloi (sp?) hasn't got a look in as he looked the goods when SD were shown on the ABC. Out of the remaining players I am hoping it goes to Volavola as he looks to have some 'x-factor' about him and does the basics well.

    John O'Neill resigns

    It's called communication and should come from the national coaching setup giving and receiving information to the provinces. The franchise coaches are earning a living and denying them the right to pick the team they want when they have a mortgage (,etc) is fraught with danger. What should be...

    Western Force 2013

    He's big, he's fast ..... and that is it. Watching him play for Eastwood I understood why no super rugby team signed him up. Doesn't have a step or kicking game to speak of and from memory didn't do a great deal of work off the ball. I hope Foley hasn't kept his NSW thinking pattern of 'he...

    John O'Neill resigns

    Message to JO"N: John, Thank you for your many years of service to the great game of rugby in Australia. The game has been enriched with your contribution through sound fiscal discipline and for that we are in a reasonable condition going forward. Whilst I don't agree with everything you have...

    John O'Neill resigns

    Don't forget Flowers got the ARC up - only for it to be dumped due to 'financial' reasons almost as soon as JO'N got back in.

    End of Year Tour 2012

    What we'll actually have some discernible ones during the Lions series? That'll be a good change.

    End of Year Tour 2012

    We should be planning to play NZ at some stage of the RWC2015 at any rate. Unless they go back to the choking (which they may as they don'thave 'home' support) and we want to win the thing we'll meet them sometime in the knockout stages. As for Sharpie, I have mixed emotions in I want to see...

    Greg Peters CEO of SANZAR Podcast Guest - Questions

    Are there any plans in the works for a dedicated Super rugby / Rugby Championship website similar to othermajor competitions such as NRL?

    Hux sees it too - where have our smarts gone?

    Sometimes the space is near the ruck and Genia did the correct thing (which is not what I was referring too). I am speaking more of the piggies lining up in threes at the back of the breakdown, waiting for 15-20 seconds to allow for the defence to set and then trying to overpower a set defensive...

    Hux sees it too - where have our smarts gone?

    As others have stated the pick-and-drive has its place in the game, what infuriates me as a supporter is when an Australian team gets within 5 metres of the opposition tryline through some wonderful expansive play and then goes all conservative and try to pick and drive over the line, with very...

    Where is JON hiding?

    Wasn't he responsible for turning the NSWRU finances around when they were under ARU administration?

    Care to elaborate?

    Kane Douglas

    Unfortunately jiggles with the current injury crisis the likelihood of Drew (and Kev, Pocock, etc) being told to sit out the EOYT is highly unlikely. The only chance of these guys being given time off, IMHO, is if there is a coaching change as RD will want every fit available bod he can to shore...

    Where is JON hiding?

    The immediate name that comes to mind is one Matt Carroll. Had a tilt at the top job in 2004 but missed out to Flowers and then jumped ship to soccer. Came back when JO'N returned. From all accounts a more-than-capable executive but may be seen as too closely associated to JO'N to get the CEO...

    Nucifora - Next Wobs Coach?

    It would be interesting to see which attack coach Link would appoint if given the Wallabies duties. Would he go with Jim McKay (double blow to the Reds) or get the likes of Phil Mooney or his former 'tahs assistant Todd Louden? I for one hope he gets it so my question would be answered.... as...

    End of Year Tour 2012

    Plenty of time for all the speculation over those sorts of things to play out, hopefully in spearate threads. Would like this one to be purely about the tour, the players actually selected to tour and issues on tour such as injuries / form / tactics employed. I believe there are 2 additional...

    The Podslam..some ideas

    Ditto for Phil Blake, maybe he can give an insight into the 'toxic' wallaby environment that Quade claims exists in the current setup. Would also love to hear an interview with Michael Hawker about Australian rugby moving forward.
