    A very strong 15 but no real depth to speak of. If they can all stay fit, should be pushing for a top four finish.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Talataina and Angelo Smith off the bench, and Amatosero to start.

    Billion-dollar ball game: Big end of town could produce cash bonanza for Australian rugby

    Billion-dollar ball game: Big end of town could produce cash bonanza for Australian rugby

    Australian rugby has called on some of the country’s leading investors and fund managers to help fund every level of the game.

    I've often thought that, upon winning the lottery, I could set up an investment account that puts any returns into our club e.g. Win $20M, put $1M into the fund, generate ~6% per annum = $60k to run the club.

    Would more than cover our expenses.

    Why aren't all the Good Rugby People doing this with their white collar corporate power structures?

    (And, of course, should anyone here have made enough money on PolishChicksRUs.com - please consider setting up an annuity for Renegades Rugby. We only need about $20K so that's a lazy $330K starter)

    Did any of you with Stan watch the Australia A games? A draw with Bristol and a big loss to England A wouldn't have been what was hoped for.

    Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii’s hopes of finishing his first Wallabies tour with a flourish against Ireland are still alive after a positive update on the injury blow he suffered against Scotland.
    
    The code-hopping superstar thankfully avoided breaking his right arm

    Nope, but when you throw together teams you sometimes get this.

    I think the "A" program was mainly to support the touring Wallabies, given we're out of time for people to shine at rep level prior to Lions 2025.

    If we had a proper third tier that wouldn't have been such a concern IMHO. Right now a lot of our pro players go back to club land and finish up in September, then twiddle their thumbs for a couple of months until provincial preseason.

    Bloody good on them. Should be aiming for the top, and this is but a start.

    Don't suppose anyone's seen said strategic plan and can shed light on how Australia are going to achieve all their lofty goals?

    As long as they follow through on the bit where they help clubs. They can start by reducing fees paid the the national body

    I agree. Setting goals is important as it allows you to identify the steps required to achieve them, measure progress and adapt as required.

    Given SA have fucked off to seek greener pastures where they can win (URC snigger) we need Australia to get better.; competition improves the breed.
