That was Langi’s brother Ben in the Eastwood game 😂

Five things: Where DC got it wrong with Tahs, perception and reality for Wallabies hopeful as Test bolter shines

The 225 million is the total of all three monetary events – Lions, we get ticketing/Corp hospitality revenue & share broadcast, sponsorship & apparel with Lions. RWC 2027 & 2029 is 20% of profit, which will be huge. 225 mill is a pretty mild estimate.

Lions pays down debt & leaves us enough to get through 2025 & 2026.

RWC’S sets us up for the future as they are planning on investing this in a “capital untouchable” account like Sydney 2000 Olympic team had, they still have the original 100mill in the account and have run the AU program for 24 years in the interest.

Rugby Australia's debts blow out to almost $89 million after draw-down of PEP facility

Fox need’s Stan rugby subscribers, it’s as simple as that. The combined Fox/Kayo is way lower than Stan’s 2.2mil subscribers.

Rugby Australia announce $9.2m deficit, board member fails to be re-elected but coup falls over

Maybe another reason why DC is cooked! Love the guy but he has to go.

Wallabies in danger of losing Hanigan to ambitious French club just as forward enters his prime

Coleman is a dead man walking, he’s gone!

Olympics calling? Son of a gun called up for Singapore Sevens, Walsh loses gun experienced duo in test of depth

Have you watched him play? I’ve seen him playing since he was a 6 year old and he improved every year, was disappointing he went to East after everything the Manly district did for him during his juniors career.

I don’t understand point two, are you advocating the dismantling of grass roots rugby? Where do all the 3rd & 4th grade and colts players go, thats the equivalent of losing 120 players per club or roughly 1200 players in the Sydney comp alone & that doesn’t even cover what you would lose in subbies, what a bloody daft idea!

'Definition of madness': Rugby reform must start with total cleanout of RA board - and this should happen next

Totally agree, however, who gets the cash? Let’s use Skelton as an example which clubs collects the transfer fee – Petersham, Syd Uni or the Tahs? Petersham should as that’s his first club!

Scrap the Giteau Law: Rugby Australia should look to Rassie's 'Boks RWC recipe if it wants to re-join the big boys' table

Sounds like once all that happens then the AFL will stick a team there as well 🙂

What the Rebels players should be demanding to know, as Twiggy's ex-rival throws a familiar hail Mary

FFS what’s this got to do with rugby!

Or an additional training base for an international team.

PE backed consortium 'in final stages' to save Melbourne Rebels with $30m injection and link with A-League club

Adding in sponsors, must be at least 1.5 million from this lot as a starting point.

Over and above that they also “contract” rugby playing kids from as young as 12 & 13 for about $1000 to $1500 a year, to try and keep them on RL once they are older, we should be doing the same via the Australian Rugby Foundation.
– – – One can only imagine if we kept the Force in 2017 along with Twiggy’s 50 million what sort of talent we could be keeping in rugby today!

Do you have a link to that article?

Would love to see that list.

'Previous chairman can not be a scapegoat': First salvo fired in bid to spill the Rugby Australia board

“His return gives Coleman another gun goal-kicker up his sleeve”
Um, nah, remember the 2019 U20 final against France? We outscored the Frogs 3 tries to two but they beat us because WH couldn’t kick a goal to save his life, 24-23!

Inspirational Harrison set for first Super Rugby match in 707 days as Tahs out to snap 'frustrating' run

That’s the name of a great rugby pub brand in Paris 😁

Wonder kid offered 3-yr, $1.6m deal to stay in Aussie rugby - and why it could see Wallabies stars leave Ballymore

‘Got first dibs’ last week, but only for the Super team games, not tests.

'We need to accelerate': Waugh admits RA behind schedule on Rebels future as tickets sold to ailing club's Lions clash

Seems like it didn’t need any promotion, most allocations were sold out…

Most overrated player in the backs IMHO, cost us an U20’s WC due to failed kicks @ goal.

SRP trial teams: Tahs, Rebels name big guns, Reds lose O'Connor as Donno starts for Force

To be fair, quite a few of the Brumbies U20’s are from the NSW U18 team from the previous year, there are only 30 squad members allowed so you always lose a few, just a shame that some of the better ones need up @ the Ponies!

Decision time: Clubs queuing up to pounce on Rebels' best as Rugby Australia given warning over in demand Wallabies

No, why ?

Decision time: Clubs queuing up to pounce on Rebels' best as Rugby Australia given warning over in demand Wallabies

The sad reality is they:

1. RA Can’t afford it
2. RA Have already bailed them out to the same amount a few years ago
3. So why should we, the rugby public, have to bail out a team that’s obviously never going to thrive financially in a city that has more professional sports team s than ANYWHERE else in the world?
