    Presumably if they desire to work on his tackling technique they don't have to restrict the examples on the highlight reels to wingers, they might introduce a few centres into the conversation.

    How to tackle properly maybe?

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Having just sat back and quietly digested the Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) situation all week, I'm not as down on it as others. There are a lot of inputs to enter into the equation - the Wallabies/Waratahs environment(s), the lesser money for a switch to the NRL, even more potential money from France & Japan...

    Re super rugby - Trans Tasman rivalry is the pinnacle of rugby in Australia, obviously stemming from the Bledisloe. If our teams are beating up Kiwis the product is superb. We need to be better, it's the pathways/grassroots that need the attention. Re Twiggy and the Dragons - $1.2m isn't...

    Or if it's precursor to a full domestic pro comp (i.e. no Super Rugby). That would make sense as NSW and Qld are really the only states that could have more than one side in a national club comp (assuming a focus on local talent). So if there are 4 sides each from NSW and Qld in the initial...

    The mods have put some automated acronym conversions in e.g. R and A becomes Rugby Australia, the best one was PVLs becoming 'the horse racing guy'. However as private equity was a topic at the time and a lot of people were using the P and E acronym, that one was used as well. Not to be...

    Of course, my second paragraph was the more pertinent one. As a collective voting block the abstainers have leverage. I'm not sure why they would vote for the definition of insanity though i.e. doing the same thing over and again for another 20 years. My stance is that Hamish has to go, if...

    Yes precisely. And in theory, with NSWRU and VRU on board RA has all it needs to achieve centralisation at the high performance level. The Waratahs and Rebels will become powerhouses in the revamped Super Rugby comp while the Reds, Force and Brumbies battle it out in the revamped Global Rapid...

    I think he has withdrawn his application. I found out about both the application and the withdrawal within a minute.

    They aren't nominees, they are applicants. Morgan Turinui is the only name I have heard who has applied for it but no doubt there are others.

    My brother (who is a die hard rugby tragic like me) has gotten to know him on the Gold Coast. Reckons hes a genuine top bloke.

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    I'm just coming out of my summer GAGR break to comment on this. This is abhorrent. So Eddie was basically using the national rugby team as his plaything, destroying, impeding, risking, disregarding the careers of several of our best and most promising players along the way. I'm glad those...

    The Aus is saying there was no payout. And he’s defending McLennan as well.

    Wallabies 2024

    I will just comment on this before I go - there is always plenty of rugby on, of varying iterations, including those you mention and the junior ‘super’ comps on currently. It’s this site I am taking the break from, not supporting and watching the code. I’ll always do that, limited only by time...

    Well, I said to myself I was going to take a 3 month break from here after the RWC final. That time is now. I’ll watch the Eddie soap opera with interest from the sidelines. Have a good festive season everyone, will see you all for 2024 super rugby.

    Ripper try! Edit - maybe not. I did wonder how the hell he missed that though.
