Reports suggested that the bidders would be informed the week commencing 24th March. Not necessarily informed on the 24th.

TOCC, it makes one wonder WTF the NSWRU do. Waratahs Rugby Pty Ltd look after the Tahs, NSW Country RU runs rugby over the Blue Mountains and on the North, Central and South Coasts, SRU run the various premier comps in Sydney, NSWSRU run subbies, Sydney JRU run juniors and the various school bodies run their respective comps. I'd dearly like to know what role the NSWRU performs.

Will happily admit to knowing very little about the back office stuff. Would it be possible that instead of making the Reds, Tahs and Rebels merge the ARU could save a heap of money by bringing all these 'organisations' under the same banner?

Politics my friend, politics.

It's pretty simple to say "you're merging and you each get seats on a board". But, then you've got to ask who get's what number of seats and why. And all parties have to agree, not just in the short but in the LONG term.

Shesh, nothing is more cantankerous then amateur sport.

That's the problem.
At this level,it is a professional sport,with highly paid execs to administer it.
Governed by professional people,with an amateur attitude.
The only attitudes that appear to have changed,are epicurean in nature.
Claret is just a memory,but some of the Board are going back to a cheeky Riesling occasionally.

With that being the case, it says a lot that the ARU thought it would be easier to convince the Reds, Tahs and Rebels to merge than battle the Sydney based parties.

Most sports are like that to varying levels though. League and Soccer have similar issues.

The only 2 sports the world over who have one admin body with everything else under its heading are AFL and Crossfit. Both are growing exponentially.

My QRU sources tell me that Jim Tucker was on the money in his Courier -Mail article on Saturday - the two QLD teams in the NRC will be City & Country Origin.

With both teams based and training at Ballymore but City playing its games at Ballymore and Country splitting its games between Dairy Farmers Stadium, Townsville & Robina.

Coaches, Support Staff & Media supplied from QRU ranks.

What will be the origin criteria for say:
1. PNG boys like Aidan Toua, Pettowa Paraka, Nigel Genia;
2. NZ/SA heritage players e.g. Mike Harris;
3. Interstate raised players like Beau Robinson, Ant Fainga.

Apparently there will be a big media release from the ARU or QRU regarding the NRC this week.

Great game and atmosphere for the Aust Club Champs at David Wilson Field, Bottomley Park on Saturday. The vocal local Easts crowd nearly got their side home but Sydney Uni ran out the victors 19-14 (3 tries to two), but Easts nearly pulled it out of the bag at the death.

Great sign of depth for both clubs as each side only had 5/6 players from their 2013 grand final sides.

Both clubs will be hard to topple in their respective competitions in 2014.

At 11 am The Roar tweeted:
"Australian Rugby Union to make major announcement on the @NRC_Rugby today. The Roar will have live coverage of it all!"
I went on the @NRC_Rugby official page and discovered that they had 0 Tweets, were following 11, and had 25 followers. They now have 26. The amount of activity could be viewed as a metaphor for Australian Rugby.

A FoxSports Tweet:

From midday EDT @FOXSportsNews will unveil the teams & format around forthcoming National Rugby Championships @FOXRUGBY @GMiddletonFOX

3 pm? Midday? Please see the red section of my signature below.

I wouldn't want to stop your bitching about everything to do with ARU, Bruce, but perhaps there will be a press release at 12pm, with a conference at 3pm. Presumably Fox already have the details and are preparing to release them at 12. It's not an unusual media strategy - give the journos 3 hr to get their heads around the plan before asking questions at the press conference.

Why not try out the Official Twitter Page by Tweeting the time of the announcement? Most organisations would have already thought of that.
