No matter what you may think about how Randwick has gone about things in the past (have things changed?), you must appreciate that they are one of the most recognisable clubs of World Rugby.
Munster has beaten the Darkness. The Wicks went close. Not many clubs have even been granted the recognition by the Lords of Darkness that they warrant a game vs the Chosen Ones.
It is good that "investors" have bailed the licensed club out. AFAIK the Licenced club is one of the major contributors of revenue to the wicks rugby club.
It is a pity that similar arrangements of "investors" have not been found for the Highlanders Licenced club, and several others.
A very healthy and drug free competitive Shute Shield competition is vital to Australian Rugby (similar for BrisVegas Premier rugby).
Hugh, it would appear that the reverse is true as far the Wicks are concerned. Apparently the Rugby Club has been bailing out the licenced club for several years and in fact the Rugby Club is one of the licenced club's biggest creditors.
