I’m just hoping (potentially naively) that he knows a proper 3rd tier has to be done but he can’t come out and say that directly because he needs to bring the premier clubs along with him

Phil Waugh was on the Roar Rugby podcast this week where they asked about a potential 3rd tier (starts from 29.40) https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-roar-rugby-podcast/id1610895067?i=1000624445624

If he gets the gig then Eddie McGuire could be a guest on Eddie Jones’ podcast, Eddie, if it returns. Pemby may struggle with all the Eddie’s though. Or would Eddie launch a rival Eddie podcast?

What a belter of a game! Great advertisement for Australian rugby. Hopefully had a few people overseas watching on the world rugby stream.

More rugby being televised is always a good thing but I hope RA haven’t given up on finding a way to bring back the NRC. If I ever find a few spare million dollars down the side of the couch I’ll let them know.

Rugby Australia are looking to get private equity involved in the game and have been talking to interested parties, including apparently Twiggy Forrest. McLennan is hoping to use the funds as a carrot to reform the constitution with the states and introduce a structure similar to the AFL...

I was also getting an error message on my laptop last night and it wouldn't load in the iPhone app. I sent StanSportAU a DM on twitter and they fixed the issue. They were quick to respond to my message (even at 10.30 last night) and quick to get the Tech Team working on the issue - I was...
