^^^^^^Canada is looking at both Super Rugby and Pro12 after not reach agreement with PRO Rugby in the US. If you read the reasons behind Canada's decision the Pro12 could be even more complex. There are reports that the Pro12 idea is one way traffic atm...

Will do BR. Good to see the CBR Times not letting it go either. Sadly it wont amount to much but its the principle. My favourite part of the article: "When the opportunity arose to partner with the University of Canberra, the Brumbies decided to change their long-term plans." So that must...

FOI information now emerging. Interesting reading, all the usual names popping up. For those with suspicious minds, if you consider this article in conjunction with the meeting with Pulver, Kennedy and Barr just before Jones was ousted it paints an interesting picture and suggests it was a...

It started off innocently......

Thank you for providing the response amirtie. The intent of my question was to understand your comments noting that most of your recent comments have been generalisations that also contained a derogatory element. This allows me to understand a persons point of view. The 4 players made are the...

Your on a roll today! :rolleyes: Wings Nigel Ah Wong James Dargaville Henry Speight Lausii Taliauli So: How are we loaded with wingers? Why would wingers need a kicking game? Name a winder with a good kicking game? What is "the pendulum"? Why are they meatheads?

You are correct Reg. Many well known athletes spoke out against him and wanted him gone. I also believe there were reports of financial issues and a review while he was there but I don't know to what extent. Thompson seem to have worked a lot with Government funded programs, and there is also...

There are threads about the ARU and state of Rugby in general as well as the Reds and Force for such comments. The topic also does not refer to coaches. I was also making you aware of what most people already know in regarding the speed of which the previous outsider started which was...

Can I suggest that you may wish to consider some of you comments more carefully. Those who read, listen, watch the news were aware that it was reported that by lunchtime on day one Jones had found some odd transaction and was contacting board members to ask questions. It really makes a...

Nope - You may find some of the Commonwealth folk are experienced in looking at accounting and governance practices, and where and how money is moved both physically and on paper. There is nothing to diminish NFJ claim that indicates it was Commonwealth funds which makes it well in scope of...

Can you imagine a scenario where the Brumbies, with the ability to search globally for the right person, were stupid and not take the opportunity to make sure there was not the slightest hint of nepotism and appoint a good old Canberra boy; especially ones that have previous links to ACT Rugby...

NSWRU aren't going to take it further and the money was returned - that is a problem in itself. Its generally referred to as an admission to a party gaining financial benefit by deception. If it Commonwealth money is a really big issue even if the money was returned. Taking no action...

It is under Commonwealth requirements - to show that it was not used as NFJ has claimed.

Your fate tempting is exceptional! http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/act-brumbies-audit-report-investigation-referred-to-asic-by-act-policing-20161108-gsl1wd.html

AFP have referred matter to ASIC. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/act-brumbies-audit-report-investigation-referred-to-asic-by-act-policing-20161108-gsl1wd.html

I was figuring @10 his defensive frailties may be more forgivable.

So what is he missing, what errors? Enlighten us please. From reports on NZ he is showing good signs in a competitive environment and being in the Kiwi system its unlikely his skillset would be low and they would keep him playing. His efforts this year with a very young and new Stags team, under...

Is pleased!:) Now bloody Toua will have a blinder just to annoy me! (BTW - I noticed you have avoid my JJH@10 comments!)

HJ - Ironic timing with your comment! Actually AFP investigation is still on going; but...... http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/act-government-wont-release-brumbies-audit-until-it-talks-to-club-aru-20161107-gsjo2x.html The key difference with the NSW matter is Commonwealth v state...

He is actually further on the Garden-Bachop. Its a naivety that we have that the Kiwis don't. This whole "it will take years BS before they are given a chance. Google some young pinerider hack who after 18 NPC games was thrown in the shark tank to fill in some massive shoes. Real shame about...
