Where to for Super Rugby?

[WorkingClassRugger]

Well, I'm done. While I have always been a Tahs fan first and foremost I cannot keep going with this current pack of fuckwits at the helm. I'll still watch Rugby but I'm done with Australian Rugby. Could the last person left please turn out the lights.

 

[I like to watch]

Ok Twiggy, let's see what you've got!

Hopefully I've been selling you short.

Legal action aside, the biggest challenge for the Force now the arbitration is announced ,will be whether their players are happy to sit around waiting for further court room out comes or make the move to other franchises. There is a very small window of opportunity now left to relocate, and I doubt that any appeal process can happen quickly enough for them to wait?

Should be an interesting atmosphere at the Wallabies v Springboks game on 9 September.

Wonder if the ARU hierarchy will attend.

Hopefully holding the tackle bags while one A Colman warms up

You got that right. I'm boycotting the game and any future Wallaby matches while this situation persists, but you'll probably hear my boos from the ground if you're there.

2 blokes in the ARU corporate box and a bunch of ex-pat Saffa fans. The Wallabies don't deserve it but the ARU sure as shit do.

I hope that we can do something as a community to get the Force back. If not next year then maybe in a couple of years when (say) the Sunwolves leave or the South Africans leave. I hope that you will all return as fans when that happens.

Oh look, the intern found the typo in the press release about the game being "abandoned in Australia".

That was quick. Initial post at 4:22 amended by 4:53

Usually takes 48-72 hours.

This looks really weird. It seems from those reports that the ARU has taken the decision to axe the Force without waiting for the outcome of the Arbitration. Am I missing something? Or should we assume the Arbitrator's decieion is known to the ARU?

I need hunk you can safely assume the decision from arbitration is known to both parties.

For how long, I don't know.

What legal grounds the arbitrator made Theo decision, I don't know. It could be subject to a confidentiality clause.

Is there grounds/scope to appeal the arbitrators decision? Don't know.

Have we heard the last of this? I suspect not.

I have bought tickets - and probably always will for Wallabies games (particularly while I get junior ticket offers). I think WA should fill NIB but be in blue. RugbyWA should be standing by the gates handing out the apparently now surplus Western Force gear.

If no one goes you will just get the ERU saying that there isn't any real support in Perth and we were vindicated in cutting the Force

ARU won't care, they have gotten our money if we pack it out. We have shown our passion and they have shown they don't care.

It's over. Players will go leaving us no team to field, even if we win proposed legal action.

Fuck the ARU.

Buch of brainless spineless gutless fuckfaces.

Vale rugby in Australia - 1864-2017

More likely than not unless Twiggy funds all the players.

Let's hope we can get you back in a couple of years (in whatever form top line rugby in Australia is by then)

Bill Pulver has said he will step down as CEO as soon as the ARU finds a replacement.

Clyne smiling talking about our demise and simply lying about the financial aspects of why the Force and not the Rebels. What a piece of shit. Tell us the truth.
