Good idea, especially the idea to get the commentators to hype up the scrum! ????????????????????????

Aussie rugby is shooting itself in the foot over its recruitment strategy. It must change to give Wallabies a RWC hope

Thanks for the kind words. It’s enlightening that the Boks kinda proved this approach to select from everywhere in the last two world cups? Getting more ideas and suggestions into the mix can only help you find a better solution. The best teams, in life and to my understanding, generally comes from diverse background (more ideas on the table) but pulls in the same direction (everyone focussed on solving the same problem, and not wasting time on red herrings)

'Not expecting miracles': Schmidt tempers Wallabies hopes as coach outlines No.1 priority

Absolutely true that. Want proof? I present to you exhibit A – Eddie Jones!

RA's new HP director 'totally open' to foreign coach as RA sets timeline, CEO reacts to player dismay over Eddie

After the last decade or two, it is surreally weird to hear how businesslike and professional RA is being right now (well, other than that mythical “Australian way”…) compared to previous administrations. I hope this endures into future.

The best organisation, teams or businesses in the world does this – unfortunately, it just doesn’t happen often enough which is a head scratcher as I can’t see why it have to be so difficult to implement…

'Eye-opening': How discarded Tah could come back to haunt old side after stint with new England coach

In that case, RA better make sure that they put plenty of gelatine into the jelly to make sure that it stays nailed!

Revealed: RA's game-changing private equity takes shape - and why it's essential to centralisation push

Sorry mate, but I do mind CVC and am actually quite nervous about them. Before being overtaken by Liberty Media, they absolutely ran Formula 1 into the ground. I believe they were full owner at the time. They’ve made a handy profit (only) for themselves though.
Though agree with Twiggy – he did an amazing job with the Force

If there’s one thing that I wish the independent board to do it’ll be that there will be a strong coordinated effort across the board to promote the game and create storyline for the people to follow (similar to drive to survive though that’s goes a bit too far).

The Wrap: Super Rugby's two-speed expansion so far provides multiple headaches

Force fan here and I actually look forward to the Trans Tasman games as well, just to see how well we actually stacks up against the kiwi teams. And I prefer that the Trans Tasman games to be spread throughout the season in order that the Australian teams get a baseline early and, based on that, they can adjust what they are doing in order to improve (in theory! 😂 )

Great article – Good to hear that the coaching IP is filtering downward to the grassroots more often with more cross pollination of (hopefully) good ideas. Notwithstanding my marvellous idea of using a tunnel boring machine to go under the defensive line to the try line…Anyway, I digress, you gotta make great teachers in order to make great students, so nice to see some progress there. 👍

Tiny town at the heart of an Australian rugby coaching revolution

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. At least we are, more or less, tracking in the right direction.

The Wrap: Rugby still in a fuzzy, concussed state but seismic change looms from an unlikely source

Hi Geoff, great article! Just curious, are there any research that compares those with and without CTE later in life? There might a key difference that may prevent CTE in the future?

That’s a great idea. Could start a petition at changes.org or something like that. 👍

Fast five: Talking points from the latest raid on rugby's 'Castle'

Great article! People need to imagine walking in the other person boot before making comments. Good to know that Mariota is looking to his long term future.

Man enough? Man, enough! Dispelling outdated notions of leadership and masculinity

Good observation! I wonder if it is possible for RA scrap the contract top-up? And use that money to increase the match payment? So there’s no excuse to continually select underperforming players in order to justify their wage and only the most deserving players can play in the gold jumper..

Michael Cheika's loyalty is now to a fault
