Leaked document says RA out to 'destroy Super Rugby' and 'turn members against each other' as Rebels' pain comes to light
Thought there may have been an obstruction in the first vdM try, really liked, though, that the ref was asked by Wales and he said it looked fine live avoiding what would often be a 10 minute TMO investigation and trial by slow motion. Good decision
Six Nations Wrap: Scotland 'disappointed' despite famous Wales win, England survive Italian scare
What a terrible game of rugby. Sure my team won, but I’ve seen better park football in chch under 10’s scratch matches. NZ teams will eat us alive, admittedly just a trial but wow
Force edge Reds at Ballymore after Harry Potter double as fit-again Wallaby stars
Doesn’t have the pace for outside backs anymore KPM, acceleration still seems good but won’t burn people on the outside
'We've moved to a more mental realm': JOC reveals the change from Thorn to Kiss - and his 2024 ambitions
Why wait JD? You will have read RA want to get the wallabies to play the Australian way. “No coach? Yeah, nah, she’ll be right cobber”
What’s more Australian than that?

Wallabies to get new skipper, Bledisloe joy and shock Rugby Championship win: XV fearless predictions for 2024
If it walks like a duck and quack like a duck, it’s probably a duck. I think one of his good points is how did nobody at RA see what was happening.
'It was remarkable RA couldn't see it': Quade slams Eddie chaos, praises 'phenomenal' McKellar
I also kind of like what he’s saying. There’s not a hell of a lot happening
'We don’t hold any grudges': Why Wallabies star will still be picked in 2024 despite NRL defection
Yes TWAS, that’s where the ex-player administrators have appeared to be, an attitude of ‘I turned big league offers down because I love the game, the youth of today should make the same sacrifice’. The rugby talent today that are going to league are generally sporting scholarship boys who come from nothing and take the money option at a young age for their family and sometimes the high life. Bit of a thought bubble this mate, but am I far wrong?
'You can't sell a secret': Biggest issues facing Australian rugby - and why it's in better shape than meets the eye
That’s what a good stats guy does haha
Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win
No alarms. I just read that The Hamster said Suali will easily bring in $50m. Just need to sign a few more leagies on bloated multiple million dollar contracts and they’re home and hosed
Cash-strapped Rugby Australia sign $80m debt deal to help give game second life ahead of Lions, World Cups
Can’t be quantified? The stats guy can quantify anything!
Rugby News: RA hunting missing million after contract blunder, Suaalii worth 10x more than his deal, McKellar's big win
I think it’s a good point Jed, and may actually be a positive for Australian rugby if he takes the learnings in a new rugby culture
Exclusive: Rising Wallabies hardman set to leave Australian rugby in warning sign for RA
And not not included because he’s Michael Hooper as was the case with the WC squad!
Hoops commits to Olympic dream after Eddie snub - and he could face another massive star of the XVs game in Paris
The mind boggles
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
When does accountability start though? And yes, Wales rugby an absolute basket case and yet they got out of the pools
'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop
Always appreciate your perspective BNHjust to step away from the weeds a little, bear with me. The spectacular failure of EJ taking over from DR was, with 20/20 hindsight, was close to catastrophic. Who made those decisions? Suali, if that reported cost is real? Negligent. The board must go. Baby faced CEO included, lots of talk about alignment, not much about accountability
'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop
And the leadership to make the most of the opportunities? Hammer has been busy pouring bleach all over the bath tub. There’s no evidence of a baby let alone bath water
'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop
Pretty sure hamster has a side deal for tim tams on the side
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
And what, they gave Eddie a million or so for that debacle? Plus whatever it cost to send the players to play in France? What a waste of money
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
Joey. You’re so cute. ‘If they stick to their word’. Awwww
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
‘fiscally responsible‘ Piru. How many laughter emojis do you think I can fit in? 😢
'Game has spent more than we can afford': RA rules out any more Suaalii-like raids on NRL in major U-turn
But where’s the accountability of the ‘leaders’ at present?
Key hire that must happen BEFORE Wallabies can recruit new coach, why Brumbies are stalling on RA plan
He has some points though. Rugby is dead in Australia. I can’t see a way forward right now
'I am a better coach': Eddie's head-turning take, says several teams keen on him despite Wallabies flop
What a heading, brilliant! Why not just ‘Truths and Guesses’ for that section though?
