Schmidt was pretty clear that the captain for test 1 isn't necessarily the captain for the season. He has been pretty frank that is knowledge of the Aussie players from a leadership point of view is very little so far.

@KiwiMurph Joe is refreshingly honest. Just what we need.
Wright is a great shout for skipper. Absolutely hard nosed, take-no-shit player who will not back down. I don't know why "shock" is being used. Natural choice

i respect that

@NTA agreed. Wallabies have struggled with on field leadership for a fair while so I can see the appeal of going with a natural captain.

Michael Hooper killed himself trying to drive those boys forward, and more often than not no one would or could go with him. It needs more than one bloke.

Another stray Rebel is adopted -
ACT Brumbies have today announced the signing of forward Tuaina Taii Tualima to a two-year deal for the 2025 and 2026 Super Rugby Pacific competition. -
The ACT Brumbies are set to experience one of the biggest shake-ups in their history, by signing a partnership agreement with Rugby Australia. The Brumbies would become the second Australian Super Rugby outfit to link up with RA after the Waratahs handed over the keys at the start of the year. The Brumbies board briefed key stakeholders in the Australian Capital Territory & Southern New South Wales Rugby Union on the club’s financial position and the deal put forward by the national body – a deal that will see RA take charge of the day-to-day business operations. -
Inevitable.
TBH there will be some cost savings and alignment, but it isn't going to affect the on-field spend much.
Rugby Australia still needs to get better at promotion, and a lot of writers at The Roar won't help that.

Agreed. They have no assets and are on the bones of their arses financially. The key clause in the agreement would be keeping the franchise where it is IMO.
