@Stargazer cue the long line of Aussies, not even involved in the game, asking why we don't sign a young guy from onshore

Apart from Austin Anderson, are there any other NZ-born players in that squad? Cullen Gray is also in the Brumbies system but maybe too young to be considered this year.

Is he automatically eligible for the Wallabies?

I haven't seen it mentioned. I'm sure they'd be talking that angle up if they could

So he might not be a loss? Still a chance he could return?

@Stargazer I'm sure they'll pay themselves a handsome bonus while Rome burns...

@NTA didn't McLellan effectively take the job on as a charity case?

@NTA Geez didn't see this coming, you been keeping it under your hat??
Wonder about it don't you, Hamish jsut talked him up over RA's finances just a week or so ago.

Mate I don't deal with RA corporate. I keep my knives sharp, but this is ridiculous.

[Dan54]

@NTA Other thing is maybe someone from press actually asked Marinos a question , and Hamish wants to make sure that noone else speaks about game?

[Nepia]

It seems like Eddie is running Oz rugby anyway so they may as well not bother appointing a CEO.

But it is intriguing as to why he's leaving, I wonder if we'll ever find out?
