Ahh David Campese. So “girls” shouldn’t have any opinion on male sports, eh? You! Of all people, the respected, former enigmatic Wallaby, now commentator and columnist, actually stooped to such ignorance?

A lot of Roarers make the point about how much bigger, faster, and stronger the players of today are. And I agree with them. But my concerns lie more around how the basic skills have been neglected in the process.

I was invited to Zimbabwe by the IRB to help them prepare for the Under 20s World Championship B division in the USA. When I arrived at Harare, it was inspiring to see that, despite their financial challenges, the team was motivated, enthusiastic and genuinely proud to be there.
