What you’re kidding me…and the rugby community! As a Kiwi rugby supporter (40 years WA)
What a retrograde step! How damaging for Australian rugby development. For rugby to develop across the nation it needs local fan and player development on BOTH seaboards. Concentrating all the effort on the eastern seaboard where the power base will not be an effective strategy to win back audiences or challenge the dominanceof the All Blacks. Follow the successful model of the Kiwis. National ground up Not top down development is the key to win hearts and minds and develop talent. There is a large following of Kiwi/SA/Brit in WA that must be heard…..thank god for a passionate Twiggy Forrest
