Was ironically listening to the PF song “have a cigar” before reading this. Eddie can do meaningless platitudes and self-promoting banality better than any music executive. Have to give kudos to him that teams continue to be foolish enough to pay a proven narcissist socio-path
'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop
Every time someone questions Eddie, he just looks at his bank balance and secretly laughs at those stupid enough to pay him
Yes Eddie, we really are sitting here thinking 's--t, what's this bloke on about?'
Wallabies winning is going to be hard if they can’t pay the players. Sydney paper reporting a $15M loss for RA in one year. Mostly due Folau and RWC. Getting the financials right is going to be the first headache for the new CEO. Will also hamstring player pool and retention in building a winning Wallabies team. Wonder what Rennie is thinking right now.
Eddie Jones weighs in on the state of Australian rugby
“ To save Aussie rugby we must scrap the states”

Until this article was thinking there is no stand out to replace Hooper, so he keeps it by default. Would like to see more of White than Perth. Arguably that was an outlier. Teams like the ABs play silly buggers before RWC. We also had a rare night. Anyway great read, hope White gets some time to prove your premise
Why Nic White should be the next Wallabies captain
Another SMH day reading about RA. Starting to get a sore neck
AOC boss Matt Carroll sad for rugby's demise
What was that game where Quade scored all the points through his skills along with intercept passes. Remember watching it with bemusement. Think it was a reds game. He’s come a long way since then. Would have no problem if he’s the best 10 we have, but hope we can find someone else that holds the wallabies 10 at a decent international level one day

Rugby Australia is like watching an episode of “Dark” lately
More turmoil at Rugby Australia as potential chairman threatens to resign over CEO choice
“Force Majeure” sounds like you gave her the perfect title for her book
Australian rugby has its problems, but Raelene Castle was not one of them
If I get what you mean, the last few years has been reverse fantastic.
Raelene Castle resigns as Rugby Australia CEO
I had no idea if Castle was right for the job or not. She did seem to be making some progress, but she also came with some question marks. There’s no way Kearnes, Alan Jones or NFJ can do any better. Hope they select a well qualified replacement, and that Rennie stays on. Anything is possible
Raelene Castle resigns as Rugby Australia CEO
Thought Rugby in Oz was at rock bottom before Wuhan. Almost vultures fighting over a rotting corpse now
Raelene Castle resigns as Rugby Australia CEO
Well balanced article thank you
Have to bring up Cheika’s siege mentality failure. Here we have rugby in “the midst of a pandemic which has put all rugby on hold, forced broadcast negotiations to be postponed, and put an awful strain on Rugby AU’s finances…”. Siege mentality can bring out the best in people, but it can also see people eating their own children.
Captains' call offers nothing by way of real Rugby Australia solutions
Agree with Peter, the pitch forks and torches towards Folau was, and still is, out of hand. The same herd mentality that has seen people hoarding toilet paper recently.
Folau did himself no favours with the bushfire comments

Folau did himself no favours by saying the bushfires were the fault of homos and abortions though

Hope Rennie sees through Hooper as a narcissist corridor creeper
Hooper has no regrets over Folau saga
Gritty and resilient….apart from the results

Suggested playlist for the Wigan game:

“It’s a Sin!” By the Pet Shop Boys
“Lola” by the Kinks
“Walk on the Wild side” by Lou Reed
“Money” by Pink Floyd

But I’m sure there’s many more good songs they could play for him
Rival club has the perfect response to Israel Folau signing with Super League side
If an overseas player diminished since leaving, then he won’t be selected on form. Agree with going local for 3/4 of the World Cup cycle. However, we need to field our best team for RWC. So scrap it for that year
And yes, it is a pleasant change having an adult in charge
Rennie's Wallabies need success from Australia's Super Rugby teams
Almost all the Australian rugby public thought Fardy was a great loss to us. Unfortunately, Cheika knew better. Fardy isn’t the type to want to get rich from sweat shop labour, so no wonder he didn’t fit in with the Cheika ethos
The Australian view from across the water: Scott Fardy
Re: Wales. The telling factor to me was the postmatch interview. Cheika came across as someone who had run out of ideas, from a cupboard that only had one idea. The QF exit was certain after seeing Cheika wallow on the bad side of the Dunning-Kruger curve through that interview
The good, the bad and the ugly of Australian rugby in 2019
The expected management screed
Rugby AU publishes recommendations from 2019 Wallabies review
Another good one. Would seem that getting rich off cheap labour isn’t the best predictor of future performance. At least Cheika is gone now. If only he was the only management type pulling these stunts. All the best to Larkham’s future as coach
Thanks, Merry Christmas (or Winter solstice if you prefer), and a great new year
How Stephen Larkham is finding his feet at Munster
Hope one day the internationals win a few. It’s needed to generate interest. No reason the President’s cup, can’t be similar to the Ryder cup. Just need it to stop being so one sided

If it’s a credible threat to his, or his families safety, then it’s a police matter
I can see that Huxley was right, in that most of the digital slave comments here are embracing their servitude. Y’all need to watch Hitchens freedom of speech, where he states it includes the right to be offended. Don’t like bad words? How about do your job as a referee and blend quietly into the background, and get off SM.
WR addressing bias, perceived or otherwise, against Pacific Island nations? Nope, let’s just embrace the censorship industrial complex
Bad words can be deleted, ignored, or if it’s a credible threat to someone’s safety, referred to the police. Keep sleep waking towards a dystopia though
