Classic RA – punt the chairman before you lock in the sponsors.
I didn’t care if McLennan stays or goes but none of these idiots could arrange anything.
Now it’s controlled by QLD -will the QLD Gov fund it all?
Good to see NZ still complaining…
Aus rugby a shambles and the kiwi’s are whinging …
Situation normal!
'Shame on the plodders': Hamish blasts RA 'boneheads' as Harvey Norman deal ends - but founder denies link to axing
Yes but the vegetarians would be happy.
'Hold firm': RA urged not to blow Suaalii deal as Herbert shifts focus from NRL, Eddie rejects 'horse guy's PR'
Given the last 9 months or so the big question is who knows less about rugby in Aus, Jones or Graham?
Perhaps the answer is who cares.
It seemed to me this recruitment was more about marketing than the need for a quality outside back.

Yes but…
He is a Queenslander!
'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year
So now it’s Qld’s turn to keep rugby weak for another 4 years.
'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year
Did he pull rugby out of a financial hole?
'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year
Yeah … let’s sack everyone!
'What a shame': McLennan GONE as Rugby Australia name World Cup-winner chairman to bookend wild year
I was not a supporter of sacking DR but equally (after his performance) not a supporter of DR for his results.
Same with McLennan. This is what Rugby in Aus does just so well, administrative power plays usually motivated by a desire to preserve self interest.
I am just not sure Rugby in Aus will thrive (or maybe even just survive) with this continuing cycle of sack the …. ?? Captain/coach/ceo/chairman.
So we can get some empty suit corporate type hollow man form QLD as opposed to NSW.
'No longer have any trust or faith': Rugby Australia chairman told to resign by SIX states, EGM looms with 'gloves off'
At RWC 2019 we went through a rotation of 10’s. In the lead up someone decided Bernard Foley was no longer the man, so we then used Christian Lealifano and Mat To’ouma before returning to BF. It was clear that recycling the old 10’s was not the answer.
Yet from 2019, apart from a few opportunities for Noah Lolesio, RA and the coach did nothing to solve this obvious problem. Similar position with 9.
Quade Cooper at 10 was delivering RWC 2019 all over again.
This must have been obvious to everyone years ago.
'An experienced 10 would have helped': Wallabies open up on on failed World Cup they'll have to 'live with'
“What we were trying to do is to ensure that he had every resource so that the coaches couldn’t come back and say we didn’t succeed because we weren’t given the resources that we need. It was nothing more than that.”
Just imagine being a Director of a company being questioned by a liquidator explaining how you ran your business?
RA is just so hilarious.
'Always knew it would get really ugly': RA chief's strange admission as World Cup budget blow out revealed
I thought rugby was in trouble …
but if Justin Harrison is one of the 3 smartest people in rugby administration, it’s time to give up.
The Wrap: What will the Wallabies' external season review reveal that we don’t already know?
As one of the comments suggested below, he did not give Cane a Red, having consulted the TMO he gave him a yellow. That was subsequently upgraded by the TMO to red.
IMO Barnes has been one of the best. He seems to communicate clearly with both teams enabling a game that flows. I think a lot of it is confidence, confidence in your interpretation giving confidence to the players about how the game will be adjudicated.
No one expects perfection from Refs but you do need consistency and accountability.
The IRB seems reluctant to adopt this. Open public reviews of Ref’s should help everyone.
'Just a game, k---heads': Why world's top rugby ref has decided to give the game away
Injuries for over 3 years?
Who cares – excuses are for losers.
At 38% so is DR.
CONFIRMED: Eddie blames RA for early exit as Woodward calls for Rennie apology, ex-ABs coach linked to role
The point is Woidward’s comment is petty – he just does not like EJ.
Irrespective of how EJ performed DR deserved his termination.
Spin that any way you want.

We feel the pain …
What a load of …
What he should have said was …
I’ve been in France, drinking champagne, and enjoying first class hospitality. Soon I’ll get on the pointy end of the plane and fly home with more champagne and a flat bed.
Once back in Sydney, we can pay some consultants for a review and enjoy a good few lunches before the Christmas party and some well earned time off.
Rugby in Aus is run by the administrators for the administrators not for the fans or players.
Snouts in the trough.
'Completely unfair': Eddie sledge that angered Waugh, new coaching contenders emerge to rebuild Wallabies
The comments from Woodward show just how petty and childish coaches can be.
DR had a win % of 38, anyone delivering that over 3 years deserves to apologise, not an apology.
At best DR may be no worse than EJ but that just isn’t near good enough.

The ignorance of this comment is spectacular.
Who was the last coach out of the North Shore?
I also love the conspiracy theory about News Corp, since Fox left Rugby, there is barely any coverage of Rugby.
Eddie Jones quits as Wallabies coach - 'Sometimes you have to eat s--t for others to eat caviar'
Christy, you have not been reading the comments.
If DR had stayed we would now be celebrating a RWC win.
Wallabies are where the All Blacks were in 2007 - it's time to look in the mirror or risk more embarrassment
Much criticism of Barnes but the card calls are always made by the TMO.
It does seem a bit rich to have just so many from NZ complaining about the Ref after years of gentle treatment.
I do believe that Rugby desperately needs open public reviews of the performances of Ref’s.
It is only with this that fans and players can have a better understanding of interpretations by Refs.
The IRB should be looking for consistent interpretation and application of the rules in th 12 months leading up to RWC, not as the tournament progresses.
THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
Your average NRL game is very different to a wet RWC final.
THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
Really? You honestly can not see any difference?
It just sounds like a lot from NZ don’t take a loss very well.
THE GREATEST! Boks beat All Blacks in instant classic to claim record FOURTH RWC in controversial, dramatic final
That’s one view. If by ruck you mean leg and knee.
The view of Barnes was a bit different.
The SA player was out of the game as a result.

To suggest that EJ is responsible for his injuries but DR is not is the sort of lunacy that the DR deluded must maintain to keep alive this fantasy.
DR dealt with it be losing, with the team moving down world rankings and losing games,
The results speak for themselves- they were poor!
EJ got poor results for months, DR did it for years.
What was the worst part of the DR time was that we kept Nic White as our main 9 and kept recycling the poor old 10’s who were never great.
DR managed to keep losing whist not developing future talent.
Eddie's Wallabies future on tenterhooks amid coaching changes, key ally departs as Waugh returns home
Thank for starting with a warped political narrative.
Misdirection and misinformation, are words now used by people who can’t accept the facts.
What a load of …
The DR wallabies lost to Italy – fact.
Never done that in the history of Rugby for Aus.
Not a great Italy either.
But as opposed to accepting the fact we get lots of excuses. Spin, spin, spin.
That is the mantra of the DR deluded – lots of excuses.
DR had a win rate of about 40%.
So if he had a coherent game plan – it did not bring wins.
By 2019, we new we needed to find new 9’s and 10’s but DR did nothing.
Kept using the old and ordinary to prop up a poor win %.
You make excuses for DR with injuries but don’t accept injuries for the EJ wallabies.
Less injury problems for EJ, really
Then you blame EJ for the injuries but not DR ….
Hilarious..
You can’t even maintain intellectual integrity in two short paragraphs!
Eddie's Wallabies future on tenterhooks amid coaching changes, key ally departs as Waugh returns home
I really don’t care if it is run by Tasmanian’s
I would just like it to be run well!
For the benefit of Rugby in Aus!
I just have no confidence that will happen.
