A 12 year old with an understanding of the Australian sporting landscape could have predicted what has come to pass.

Australians only like winners so unless they were going to force the entire Wallabies squad into the Rebels, they were always going to fail in an AFL dominated state with an already successful NRL team.

'He screwed our state': The act that still angers Twiggy Forrest and why he's not ready to jump back in

It’s not recruiting when the players have been given little other option after their team has been ripped out of the comp, that’s happy feasting on the carcass you helped year apart, not recruiting.

'The biggest f--- you' or 'Force be damned'? Fans split after Rebels' last play kills Aussie rivals' finals hopes

Every 50:50 call? You mean the last offside runner getting an “intercept” that l was to the Boks second half try, the Bok lifters let go of their jumper who falls into the All Black jumper and then they get a penalty for it, the penalty only when there had been an offside slap down after Richie breakaway that wasnt even looked at, out of at least 4 high shots on Savea only one was penalised B Barrett got a forearm to the face near the end and not even a penalty. The Boks got their fair share of the luck.

Five talking points from All Blacks vs Springboks

Sea of Purple? Sounds like you turned on a game and saw the Perth Glory crowd.
Or condolences if you are colour blind and think they are play in purple?
Also no mention of Deegan in the first-fives? He has signed for Sydney next year!!! They finally recognise him after all these years.

Five reasons to get excited about the NRC

Who, from the All Blacks camp, blamed the ref?

A golden game but a dark cloud ahead

It is especially frustrating given the the Blues have been penalised with a penalty try plus yellow card in a similar situation.
Blues have a much better win rate when a neutral ref is used for NZ derbies, the rest of the countrt has quite gotten over the dominate period we had in the 90’s and the refs we get now were raised with distain for Auckland.

Eight talking points from Super Rugby Round 13

You have made many assumptions about Twiggy, don’t go trying to hide yourself from them. Good things take time, Twiggy and Co. will let as know when they are ready not when the the likes of you and others from the East demand it.
Hop down off your high horse and come see what is happening here, I see you fail to mention Twiggys grassroots program RugbyRoos which he Hope’s will be rolled out countrywide, or the Force academy developing young professional in WA but don’t let that get in the way of your attack of the man who has done more for WA rugby in a year than RA has done over the last five.

Andrew Forrest ramps up political and PR war against Rugby Australia

The writers ignorance of Twiggys sponsorship and how his calls of support for the Force early last year fell on deaf ears at RA is an amazing piece of journalism.

ASIC largely looked at 2015 not last year which is what needed to be looked at.

Michael Cheika should take a leaf out of Alan Jones' Wallaby captaincy book

You’d think if he loved the Jersey and Aus rugby so much he wouldn’t be taking so much money.

Rugby Australia, you can't be serious?

You lost your third largest player base for a few wins but no actual improvement. Still only one Aus team made it to finals, no silverware,(apart from the participation trophy the Tahs got for coming top of the conference), the team given all the money and players still couldn’t make it to the top half of the comp and are now having investigations done. Sounds like a real winning scenario.

Has cutting the Force been worth it?

Ever think the improvement was largely due to having a Sunwolves in the Aus conference? Take the stats from those two games out and is the improvement still so profound?
