I echo Reg here. There will be no Super Rugby Without the Brumbies. Dan Herbert spoke to this yesterday.Dan Herbert has come out and called bullshit on that report.
well yes and noDan Herbert has come out and called bullshit on that report.
Too much negativity.well yes and no
The article said:
"Herbert decided to speak out to give Brumbies players, staff and fans reassurance about the club's immediate future, while the long-term vision for Super Rugby is yet to be determined."
"Herbert stopped short of making future guarantees"
"They have kept us well informed of their potential challenges and their plans to overcome these challenges, and we will continue to engage and support them."
Nowhere did he say that the reports were wrong, and neither should he. He's the Chairman of the Board. His job is to manage the business of the Board, to consider reports and recommendation brought to them and to monitor performance. His job is not to shoot from the hip - see [McLennan, Hamish]
World cup review set for release next week:
Wallabies’ World Cup review set for release – but without budget blow-out figure
Recommendations from an external review into the Wallabies’ disastrous Rugby World Cup campaign are finally due to be published, but one juicy part will be missing.www.brisbanetimes.com.au
Doesn't include numbers for the over budget spend (wasn't part of the terms of reference), but governance and process around the spending are covered.
Would love to see a proper no holds barred review done by the long suffering fans.World cup review set for release next week:

Hold on, so the players rep is on the review board?.....former Wallabies captain Andrew Slack, ex-Wallaby and RUPA boss Justin Harrison and AIS high-performance expert Darlene Harrison making up the panel.
"Players did nothing wrong."
And a former Wallabies captain? On what planet is that an "external" review?"Some of them slipped and fell at inopportune moments."
Darlene Harrison is well respected within the high-performance world. I'm holding out hope that she's been able to spearhead the review and get into the weeds, as opposed to being guided by others on the panel who may have vested interests.Hold on, so the players rep is on the review board?

Lets hope there is a plan and it includes more games of rugby, someone posted a Wessel's quote (paraphrasing) "you can't run a shop that is only open 7 times a year"well yes and no

You can run that shop ('that is only open 7 times a year') - but only into the ground.Lets hope there is a plan and it includes more games of rugby, someone posted a Wessel's quote (paraphrasing) "you can't run a shop that is only open 7 times a year"
It was one of the better explanations of the basic failure of the current Super Rugby model
If anyone has that article/quote please post it, I would love to see the rest of itYou can run that shop ('that is only open 7 times a year') - but only into the ground.
The point of the quote, of course.

Probably the Tahs will be cut because everyone knows there's just too many tahsThe Herald Sun has rolled back on that story too...
Last week, the Brumbies were getting cut and Australia going into 2025 with three teams.
This week, the Brumbies are guaranteed a spot for next year.
I can't wait for next week.
With the wallabies renamed the Australian Waratahs?Probably the Tahs will be cut because everyone knows there's just too many tahs
That'd be the Wallatahs thank you very much.With the wallabies renamed the Australian Waratahs?
Would a shop open 10 or 11 days a week be anymore successful if they selling the same stock?You can run that shop ('that is only open 7 times a year') - but only into the ground.
