      As if the Jones disaster could be any worse, and who signed it off? Unless Eddie could do that himself?

      “The over-investment that was unapproved was $2.6 million, which covered three main elements, being team costs, staff travel and then player benefits,” Waugh told reporters.

          Thirty-three years after going down to Queensland in Brisbane, Warren Gatland’s Welsh side

          Warren Gatland didn't coach a national Welsh team 33 years ago.

            Beale playing club rugby this weekend after his stand down.

            Plenty of injuries at the Tahs. I presume he'll be back with a SR side soon?

              Not sure he's flavour of the week anywhere, but maybe injury cover?

                Fuck he talks some shit. I wonder if he actually believes it? They'll only be in a better place it they, andRA, survive the trauma!

                And because of that, Jones believes the young players he blooded will ultimately become a golden generation for Australia, as they prepare to host the next World Cup in 2027.

                “[I] don’t have any regrets. I tried to do my best in a short period of time,” he said.

                “And what I think I’ve left Australia is a young squad that’s capable of doing well.

                “Sometimes you’ve got to leave things in a better place and maybe you take responsibility for the failure, which is okay.”

                              Apparently the relocation fee was not part of his wage (keeping it out of salary cap?) , but not sure how or what is story, bottom line is he has been done out of money etc. I get idea maybe he has found a way to getting out of contract so he can fins somewhere else to go before the rest of team come on market?

                                  this passage would suggest that the Rebels have a few on-field issues to deal with as well - not ideal to be relying on your 92kg winger for turnovers and slowing of opposition

                                      not sure i agree thats one of their many issues, i think its pretty common now days for wingers to be leading turnovers stats

                                          there is often a debate wabout what actually is Australia's national sport. Is it AFL? Beloved in 3 states and growing in 2 others. Is it cricket, the one true national love that owns the summer? Is it swimming, where australia pours millions looking for medals.

                                          None of these are right, the national sport of Australia is the spill. At it's highest level, this is the all too often seen toppling of an elected Prime Minister by a cabinet spooked by polls, or just because some other narcissist wants the job more.

                                          https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/03/27/previous-chairman-can-not-be-a-scapegoat-first-salvo-fired-in-bid-to-spill-the-rugby-australia-board/

                                          Rugby is trying for its time in the spotlight, as some other group of probable ex-administrators and Shute Shield devotees posing as the solution to all rugby's woes pushes to get rid of the entire Board and start again.

                                          Face value? they have a point. But shit, read their letter, they seem like Hamish McLennan's mates trying to absolve him of the guilt and get everyone else fired as well.

                                          Should be a fun AGM
