D grade school prop and Reds tragic, will also get behind Cowboys and Broncos. Rarely miss watching a test match by Kangaroo's, Wallabies or Oz cricket. Also enjoy yacht racing.

Time will tell Muglair. The media were screaming this and that about no coach and Waugh laid out a plan for the WallyB coach appointment that tied in the High Performance Dept.
High performance manager appointment would be first (tick)
Coach appointed (tick)
Sorting out the Rebels fiasco will be next I guess, so the mountain to climb becomes steeper.

Strong custodians or factional hacks pushing state agendas? The numbers that will decide future of Australian rugby

I would rather they bolster the engine room Don- throw some cash at towering lock Hockings playing in Japan.

Rugby tight 5 needs to be strong for the Lions.

Strong custodians or factional hacks pushing state agendas? The numbers that will decide future of Australian rugby

I sat at a Marist Ashgrove sportsman lunch last May and listened to John Eales talk to then RA Director Dan Herbert about the recent appointment of Phil Waugh as CEO.
Herbert gave Waugh a good rap noting he was an excellent pick for the job and made a jibe at the crowd that Qld should not fear an ex Tah as CEO.
So we have a Qld Chairman and Tah CEO who played together, know each other and have a working relationship- seems like a good result, they are aligned, and are slowly getting things done within the limitations of RA being cash poor.
Talk of petty factionalism problems is trying to find a problem where one does not exist.

They will player under Schmidt so I wouldn’t worry too much, history has shown no matter how poor the tahs perform they will still get picked for the Wallyb’s.

'Philosophical, disappointed but excited': Tahs lose another nail-biter as wasteful Blues hang on to make it 10 straight

Sef has form Hoy, he banged someone’s melon last year and copped a ban.
(Still think it is a crap decision)

The Wrap: Reds light up Melbourne, while it's lights out for TV over Lienert-Brown concussion

Terrible shame to see Isaac Henry leave the field assisted.
Huge talent and skills, poor run with injuries.

McReight masterclass, Uru statement: Reds smash Rebels in Aussie Super Rugby derby

Little vision, or little $ ?

RA reeling and facing a mass exodus of biggest stars - there are three key reasons why they're in peril

Reds one of the least penalised sides in the comp! Bugger me I never thought I would read that statement.

'Be useful': how unrivalled discipline and work rate is lifting the Reds to new heights

Good team Christy!

Five things we learned: Why Schmidt is in a better place than Rennie was, how Kiss has transformed Reds

Qld player does that in NZ and he would be shown the cheese.

I hope Schmidt gets Friend on board.

I saw them win last time at Ballymore in 91. Might send my son to the cauldron to see if they do a repeat

Thanks Jez

Reds forwards stood up tonight in set piece and tight play. Lineout is good and scrum is improving with each game.

Zane’s last scrum before being subbed popped the Chief’s loosie, only for BoK to call a reset.

Really like Tom Lynagh just like I admired his Dad. How that was not a yellow after a dog hit is beyond me.

And well played Isaac Henry, stay fit and run straight this season.

Oz rugby has had some terrible kickers and kicking poorly to NZ super rugby teams has resulted in terrible outcomes.

'Gutted': Edmed misses shot after siren as Tahs blow chance of going back-to-back against Kiwis for first time since 2015

A good box kick is excellent though Jacko, high, perfect distance, chasers coming through to harass the recipient.

But when they are bad (Tate Mcd I’m looking at you) as you said they are just handing back possession, you cringe and shake your head mournfully as usually after 1 bad box kick, they keep going WTF?

And pick rugby players like Harry Hosking’s and Isaac Lucas from Japan.

'Fighting with one hand tied': To'omua calls on Rugby Australia to 'pick best Wallabies team' to stop international slide

Isaac Henry has had a poor run with injuries, I hope he can string together a season.
Reds will be up against it on Sat, Chiefs look sharp.

Super Rugby teams: Reds trio ruled out after brutal clash, Barrett ban revealed, Wallabies back for Tahs

Interesting reading the Roarers comments, the majority suggest a fait accompli, RA are going to lose the court case.
What happens if RA win?, where does rugby in Oz go next? Stay in Super Rugby with 4 teams?
Having been in a few court stoushes as a result of an business partner I don’t think we can say who will be the winner and it won’t be decided this year.

Rebels set to sue Rugby Australia as civil war erupts, Rugby Victoria President barred from summit

I thought Kemeny played well tonight.

'We needed that': Gordon, Kellaway star in Rebels' epic comeback win as Force capitulate

I just can’t see how Mclennan position after the RWC cup failure was anything but untenable.
He head hunted Eddie Moans, orchestrated the sacking of Rennie and then allowed a massive over spend on the Cup (whilst still paying Rennie) for the dividend return of the worst result ever by the Wallyb’s at a Cup.
And that is all the QRU’s fault?.

Mclennan gambled, it failed, Eddie jumped ship after being deceitful and Hamish was not a hammer but a floater in the toilet in the aftermath that needed to be flushed.

Super Rugby teams: Marky clear for Crusaders clash, Blues rest two All Blacks after just ONE week, DMac to face Brumbies

Yep, Jocks a 15 and Jordy is a wing. Didn’t work under Thorn so why revisit?

Bloody Mary’s and bbq bacon and egg sanga’s Don. Love Sunday morning rugby.

'Ready to go': Jaguares set for early return to Super Rugby if Rebels fall over

That’s exactly what I thought Crow. A comp under financial stress looking at increasing costs?
