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.
ummmmmm...
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.
A FoxSports Tweet:

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