Well, if you thought Ozzie SR teams struggled for depth, is about to get far worse. Why play in Oz, when you can't earn a shed load more overseas, possibly for a good or winning team, and still get picked for the wallabies

have to say...was surprised the crowd at aami on the weekend was more vocal than i would have thought for the size, its another example of i think they could have made things look much better if they hadn't opened the whole stadium, would have made one side look quite full i think

@Kiwiwomble AAMI Park has excellent acoustics. A small crowd can make a lot of noise

Have also noticed the new SFS generates a bit of noise with the small crowd.

Four years after getting a taste of international coaching, Geoff Parling will return as the Wallabies’ new lineout coach.
The Roar can reveal the Rebels assistant, who coached alongside Dave Rennie in six Tests during the 2020 campaign, is set to be unveiled as Joe Schmidt’s latest recruit to his coaching team in the coming days.

Herbert said Rugby Australia was concerned about New Zealand and South Africa formulating a plan for old-fashioned tours in 2026 and 2031, which would lead to an eight- or nine-game tour being played during the Rugby Championship window.
It would mean a truncated Rugby Championship for the Wallabies and Argentina, which would mean a reduction in the much-relied upon Test revenue. Herbert said Australia would be looking for compensation if it was to approve.
Do SANZAAR decisions need to be unanimous?

@Tim Maybe they'd be better off doing a test against Turkey?
That reminds me...
What happened to our old mate who lamented any sort of rugby where Australia was likely to lose? Can't remember his/their name... bat-shit crazy. Hated Bledisloe - "because we always lose - so why do it?". Would fucking love Aus-Tur ANZAC Day test. -

If not just buy off the Argues and get the vote you need?

Not sure if they do, but not sure SANZAAR could stop teams doing tours etc.
It's actually interesting article about Herberts ideas, not saying I agree witrh them, but he rightly talking about what he thinks is good for Aus rugby, which is as he should. Also is honest in hiw assesment that Aus rugby isn't really an attractive marketing package at moment, so there is more money probably to be made with matches apart from them? -

Jeez insolvent trading for years, and that's from before covid
“My preliminary view is that the Company may have traded whilst insolvent from 31 December 2018, and that it is likely that all debts that remain unpaid were incurred which could result in an insolvent trading claim exceeding $16.8m.”

What a shock. All the Rebels fans angry at RA should really be furious at their own incompetent Board.
The same Board who "loaned" the club $8M.
This is a lack of governance and responsibility.

The deal to save the rebels includes the directors being not liable for their criminal activity and the investors supplying the money to allow rebels to sue RA. I wonder why RA aren't going for it, despite being best for Rebels - best for Rebels creditors only, which some don't seem to get

While that catastrophe unravels, I'm hearing that the mood from RA has softened towards the other Unions given board members suddenly realised they're dependant on votes at the upcoming election.

Can confirm there is latent "mood" for those left from the Eddie appointment and then ejection of he and McLennan
