Obviously written by lawyer, perhaps with a PR person as well.

Happy to see Van getting an event though - cracking city and I reckon they'll get a surprising level of support

Can't agree with this enough. Lots of people who were relatively disinterested in politics suddenly became very passionately opposed the Libs.

Well that's awkward.

One thing I hope we can all agree on: none of this is good for the game. What, however, is the end point? Will the controversy simply naturally die over time? Or will it be an ongoing story while Beale remains employed by the ARU? If the latter, there only seems to be one way that the...

I personally don't like the way in which her recent articles appeared to conflate issues which appeared to me to be different being (1) Beale's conduct and the disciplinary process for it (2) management issues within both the Wallabies and the ARU (including whether the ARU had satisfied itself...

Interesting that Georgina Robinson appears to have gone completely quiet as well - haven't seen her post an article or anything on twitter for at least a week or so which is odd.

Certainly lots of people I have spoken to this week are flabbergasted that Hooper is captain. Without getting into the merits of that (and I've certainly got pretty strong views about it), it's fair enough to raise the issue his captaincy once Moore gets back I think. He's a good player and he...

If Moore comes back it has to go to him and, in that respect, the quicker he comes back the better. Hooper may one day be a captain, but he's not one at the moment in my eyes.

Given he's innocent until proven guilty, they are both the same in my eyes in that neither results in a guilty verdict!

Unfortunately I have to disagree - it's sad but these days I care more about my coffee than my rugby

How?

You tend to think that these messages have got to be pretty serious given the reference to them being "deeply offensive" and getting a District Court judge to run the hearing. Makes one wonder whether they are more in the nature of photos that shouldn't have been taken than name calling for...

He's gotta get the boot for sending it to the target alone, doesn't he? No room for that kind of execution in the back line.

Just when we thought this story may have run its course...

They'd better release some names for next year soon or we're going to whip ourselves into such a frenzy of speculation that we'll basically self-destruct.

I heard it was Ilie Tabua.

Really? Any indications as to who it is? By "international" do you mean international in the sense that: (a) he's not from around here; or (b) he plays (or played) international (i.e. Test) rugby?
