@antipodean Pasitoa doesn't have a contract - is going to play NPC - I believe for Northland
-
Tom Donnelly to become the Wallabies' new lineout coach. Heck of a bounce back from big Sas. Unwanted by Otago and the Landers, to having an international gig.

@Duluth said in Aussie Pro Rugby:
Tahs could not get his position right in the image
Keep in mind that a lot of the Tahs operations have been centralised under RA, as a first point.
I'll tell you - for free - that the corporates who run our game nationally have Fuck

Been thinking about the general positioning and talk of rugby in Australia.
For all the talk of rugby dying, or being 'back', I actually think we've found our level over the last 5-10 years and it's where we will stay.
We're a second tier rugby nation, on and off the field. There's enough support to sustain a viable Super competition, 6-8 Wallabies games a year and the odd Lions tour or World Cup. We will field competitive rugby sides that may have the odd good spell but will never be dominant.
Within the sporting landscape here, our place is to sit below AFL, NRL and cricket but above basketball, soccer and netball.
It's not super interesting to discuss, but I think that's how it is. And I'm largely OK with it, but it does mean accepting that a World Cup win in my lifetime may be a bit of a long shot.

it very interesting as weve just a week back in NZ and two things i took from the week after the melbourne lions test
the coverage on the news in NZ of the game was 2-3 longer than what we would have got in aussie...which is wild....so i think IF they did want to make rugby even slightly more popular....they need to get the coverage on side
secondly....loads more people went to the game than i thought would, i had a saffa, english and american guy from work say they got some tickets and went, i think everyone from my club went, it was awesome to see

My entire view of picking overseas players is reversed now that i understand Will Skelton goes home today. Fucking loved watching him running around the track grinning as he made an absolute menace of himself. Will be sorely missed, especially in South Africa

Economics are a bitch.
