Phil Waugh's never-say-die attitude and his ability to lead and lift those around him can never be taken for granted. I'd take it any…
Would you like to see Argentina, Fiji, Samoa and other teams genuinely competing regularly against Australia and New Zealand rather than just at a…
If anything it just highlights the sheer incompetence, chaos and lack of direction at RA
Leaked document says RA out to 'destroy Super Rugby' and 'turn members against each other' as Rebels' pain comes to light
Its a disgrace that this has happened and any wallowing by RA will only make things worse.
In any two team game there can only be one winer, so all the talk about ones team must win all the time is contradictory.
All fans really want is for their team to be genuinely competitive.
The money and players really should be pooled and equally distributed to ensure each team has a fair chance.
Otherwise we may as well just watch the crusaders run out and play nobody.
Decision time: Clubs queuing up to pounce on Rebels' best as Rugby Australia given warning over in demand Wallabies
A bit?
Mate I often wonder just what anyone at RA does?
Rugby Australia is back where they hoped they would never return - and their next move could make or break the game
Hard to believe he is still playing at this level.
Good luck to him, he’ll be a handy utility on the bench
'We've moved to a more mental realm': JOC reveals the change from Thorn to Kiss - and his 2024 ambitions
He has stated he was supposed to be retired and found it impossible not to get back into it and his kid has epilepsy and the other is in Melbourne plus mcklennn is gone. So it just happened to be the right circumstances
'We'll sack him and be in the same position': Ex-Wallaby condemns Larkham snub as Schmidt deal CONFIRMED
We’ve had too many talented but ultimately lazy soft players that could never match the intensity of the kiwi super sides for way too long.
'We'll sack him and be in the same position': Ex-Wallaby condemns Larkham snub as Schmidt deal CONFIRMED
I am yet to be convinced that either cellar or Larkham are ready to step up.
Joe’s record speaks for itself and the kiwis went up a level when Jason Ryan came on board then another 3 levels when Joe came on board.
Frankly we should be grateful that he would come anywhere near us and I am absolutely certain that we would not have been able to get anyone of his calibre had McLennan still been wrecking the joint.
'We'll sack him and be in the same position': Ex-Wallaby condemns Larkham snub as Schmidt deal CONFIRMED
Awesome news.
The wallabies will require someone of Jason Ryan’s class as a forwards coach.
Equally important is that each assistant coach be a master of their craft.
Finally some no nonsense people running the joint.
Exclusive: Wallabies to turn to Kiwi Schmidt as Eddie Jones' replacement
If everyone won all the time everyone’s problems would be fixed..
still can’t see how two goes into one but it seems to work for soccer.
Controversial Rugby Australia policy to be shelved after Wallabies disaster
whomever becomes the wallabies coach is only going to be as good as his assistants allow him to be.
Look at Foster with the All Blacks that were misfiring.. Along came Ryan whom tidied up some basics in the pack then the real lift came when Schmidt’s footprints were all over the gameplan.
Thus a Schmidt/Nucifora lead team would be ideal but it will really depend on having truly competent specialist coaches in every aspect of the game.
The last thing the game needs is a league prop as an attack coach, its just infuriatingly mind numbingly dumb.
I am optimistic about Waugh being the CEO as he goes about business quietly without the attention seeking fanfare but more to the point he has lived and breathed rugby at all levels, so if anyone gets it it’ll be him rather than the so called professional advertisers, accountants, bankers and administrators.

Its not though.

Wonton negligence at the very least
'It was remarkable RA couldn't see it': Quade slams Eddie chaos, praises 'phenomenal' McKellar
Jones is gonna cop a lot of abuse by the crowds when he does come back.. it’s inevitable and justified

I’m not a legal person but gee if he was my employee I’d be looking at legal options.

Never was a Hamish fan and it’s amusing to see he bet his life on another egotistical melomaniac that played him like a fiddle.
Fiasco complete: Eddie Jones officially CONFIRMED as Japan coach
Perhaps Japan unlike Australia as the article implies have promised a carte blanche of Japan rugby from the bottom to the top and the funds to do it?
So will Eddie destroy or build Japan rugby?
'Stinking nepotism', 'bygone era' or Japan's saviour? Why Eddie's mate has risked his rep on Wallaby turncoat
For the money mate for the money.
Welcome to the NRL, Mark - here's everything you need to know about The Greatest Game of All
Tha lack of contest for posession is what turns me off the game.
The ball is essentially incontestable for much of the game.
I don’t buy into the league is running rugby though I get what you are imply.
Much of the running is short hit ups due to the flat line structure of the game.

Before or after he signed the deal?

Bollocks
Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'
So a guy who has proven himself and is improving gets 500k amd a kid that hasn’t played a senior game of rugby nor really proven himself in NRL gets 1.6?

Yep no doubt Ryan has been instrumental and we saw an improvement in the forwards when he came aboard but it was Schmidt’s game structure that got them within an inch of holding cup aloft.
Ryan is razors mate who was going with him but went earlier than expected
How McLennan departure could help Wallabies land ex-Ireland, All Blacks coach as Eddie's replacement
Hey Jackie,
If it wasn’t for Schmidt and Ryan… where do you think the ABs would have departed the last World Cup?
I’d say the quarter final.

That would glue bums to seats as people marvel at the ‘fawlty towers’ environment, the ratings would be sky high.. a sure revenue raiser.
