Yes you can’t have it both ways. If the Board shared the blame for Hamish’s decisions, then they also get the credit for Phil’s decisions.

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

OK maybe for him, but more as a general comment!

I’m not saying you are wrong – but it would be a big shift in culture to change that.

Is that necessary? If so, how?

Exactly. Highly offensive and uneducated comment from someone who claims to know better.

“Now apparently reporting the traffic”.

That single comment has set me against you and your group Russ. Straight middle aged Anglo men appointing straight middle aged Anglo men is one thing wrong with Aus rugby (and several other institutions).

That was a highly offensive gutter jab at a very qualified person. Why would you lower yourself to that, when you are all about transparency, accountability etc? You are accountable for making that comment.

You continue to talk very much in generalities. You are relying on getting good people in (assuming they are appointed) and letting them work out what needs to be done, I suppose.

“We propose the Member Unions reject the Nominations Committee recommendations and move a vote of No Confidence. This means a Special General meeting to formally spill the Board. At this meeting an interim Board with an interim Chairman would be installed”.

So you are suggesting the Member Unions vote to reject the model that lets them choose the Board, in preference for a model where they have much reduced say?

Fyi it’s Aaron Gordon.
Not sure of the surprise result between Denver and LA, it was a 4-0 sweep last year.

Jokic stands tall as Nuggets deliver playoff reality check to LeBron's Lakers, Embiid injured as Knicks sink Sixers

I skimmed through a bit, but I liked:

– Kalani Thomas, crackign game
– Jock Campbell
– Reds import props

Paisami overall good too.

The pack works hard and does what is needed. Good stuff.

Serious hooker depth at the Force. Incumbent Tom Horton might struggle to get on the pitch.

Aussie-born England capped rake Nic Dolly signs with Force ... and he'll soon be eligible for the Wallabies

Hi Paul.

Who are you versing this weekend?

A few parts of NZ. Most of NZ only follows rugby.

CONFIRMED: NRL superstar joins ex-All Blacks coaching greats in Japan - could he do an SBW?

Exactly.

He’s a Kiwi and no doubt grew up playing rugby as well. No reason why he wouldn’t still love it.

You’re not seriously referring to the NRL are you?
