If Farr- Jones or Eales steps up , steps up to what?
Arrogance is all they will contribute.
Arrogance is what has bought this game to its knees and most Rugby Union advocates are blinded by the arrogant belief that RU is by far the greatest game and if people see it on TV, suddenly they will support it- rubbish.
Raelene Castle is not the problem it’s the game. Broadcasters and the people don’t like, why ; because the game is seen as negative, plodding and boring. The culture of Rugby arrogance has its roots in rich private schools and people who are of a higher status and it will destroy the game.
The Wrap: Rugby’s ugly in-fighting just got uglier
What a bunch of arrogant wingers , every time Rugby gets into trouble, the blame always goes against the wrong people , example – Raelene Castle.
It’s not her fault the game is infested with arrogance and denial. Let’s be honest, the problem with the game , is; is, the game itself.
It’s not Raelene Castles fault that the broadcasters or the people don’t like the game. It’s a fact face it the game stinks. Except this fact you arrogant people and work towards changing the game.
The arrogant assumption that if RU ( in its present form) was on freeTV the people would like it.
The problem with Rugby is Rugby itself, not the people who administer the game.
Arrogance will destroy Rugby not Raelene Castle.
Rugby Australia face Sunday showdown talks
AFL is only played in Australia. Then why is RU the least popular of all football codes? Rest my case.
End of ten-year Wales stranglehold 'irrelevant': Cheika
Yes and AFL is only played in Australia but it is far more popular than RU. Arrogance you have proved is part of RUs problem.Let’s face it RU does not have the depth in talent or courage or spectator entertainment to mount a challenge to RL or AFL .because a game is played in more countries does not make it a better game. Live in your boring arrogant world, and watch your games sub standard players make a fool of themselves trying to match the greats of RL.
Soccer is played in all countries, at least its more popular than the , arrogant,dying RU in this country .

That’s a stupid and typical rugby arrogant statement, your outrage against yet another wallabie lose. It doesn’t matter who the coach is, because RU is a negative game. They play this game in a country dominated by positive and creative games , NRL and AFL.
On the field the playmakers of RU , are inundated and bought up with the great feats of RL playmakers , they cannot match the outstanding playmakers of RL, in their game because RU is a negative game based on spoiling.
It is not the people who run or coach RU , let’s face it , it’s the f—-boring game. Perfect example, Wales v Wallabies

No not the greatest of games is an understatement. Twiggy Forest should have left it alone. Putting on a D grade game made a mockery of world rugby, this game between an under strengthened Force and an obese aging Fiji was a black day for an already in trouble game of Rugby.

Yes crossover , elitism is the word still strongly practiced in 2016 just as it was in the 1950s , when I went to a private school. yes it’s hard to believe that some adult people still keep making a fool of themselves pretending they belong to some elite class by following a boring sport to prove it.
It’s a clear case of insecurity .
Slater returns to lead Storm past Dragons
God help us only having RU to watch imagine , people would only have one choice of boredom to watch , people could relieve their boredom by waiting for a bus , I am sure that would be more exciting than watching R U.
RL drop the scrum
A ten-point plan for the NRL to make 2015 the best season ever
I agree maybe the people on microphones need more training,
a good example of someone who needs lots of training is Bret Mate Mate Finch, where did they get him from? must have known someone in high places. If we want to improve the game lets get people who are more professional

Yet another article avoiding what’s wrong with Rugby, your article presents more silver bullets to say the game. Silver bullets or blaming someone or other codes, or the media ect, will not save Rugby. This arrogance is what has destroyed the game. There is so many myths about the future of Rugby.
1. The belief that because the game is played in many countries it has a future, wrong , soccer is played in every country, so what. AFL is played in one country.
2. The northern hemisphere unions are strong, wrong, they are having similar problems with crowds and lose of support as us.
3. No matter what competition, RA comes up with, it’s to late. The game has lost crowd support,
4. Rugby administrations, Rugby power brokers ect refuse to accept that the problem with Rugby is Rugby the game itself.
5. If the stubborn arrogance that bought the game to the cliff edge does not admit that the game must change drastically, arrogance will take it over the cliff.
5. Copying RL in desperation will be disaster, RA must be original.
Your article means well, but again like most supportive articles, fails to recognize the fact that most people see Rugby as, dull, plodding and in many believe the game is negative.
My fearless predictions for rugby in 2022 and beyond
