Australian rugby (run by the Sydney Shore mafia as they are known) was playing in their client base heartland ie Queensland, which is a significant stakeholder in Australian rugby, and they decide to play the game at the same time as the GPS rugby!!? It’s absolutely extraordinary how poor this is a decision. It’s like owning a restaurant and only opening between the hours of 4pm and 6pm when your customers will be doing something else. Poor judgment. The sport of rugby is flourishing across the world but is dying in Australia, and Australia only, and it’s because of consistently stupidity like this and such decisions must be reviewed and people held accountable. My mates and I all are scratching their heads at the circus that is Australia rugby organisational decision making. Learn how to add up on a score board, show the GPS games before the game has started, reward positive, dominant play, play test matches in Brisbane, and not during the GPS rugby matches, take up some space in the Courier Mail to compete with women’s Olympic rap dancing, male female (?) boxing, and women’s AFL, learn the traditions and rituals of club and school rugby, change the commentary at the Wallabies to rugby union style conversations and not like it’s the Bathurst 1000 or the AFL etc etc etc. It’s truly mind boggling how poor the decisions are.
