Only speaking for myself, I would not advocate pulling out of SANZAAR. The Rugby Championship is great and helps keep the Wallabies near the top of the world rankings (despite constantly losing to those damn Kiwis!). I have always actually been a fan of Super Rugby and think it should continue...

We appear to be locked into Super Rugby until at least 2020 at this stage, so that gives us a short window of time to grow the NRC into something more viable and closer to a professional competition. What we have now is a good start but we need to push hard to make it bigger and better and much...

I wonder how happy he will be if it turns out that the money saved gets eclipsed by the amount of legal fees required due to the cut clubs claim against guarantees? Not too late for a backflip! And SA is far from a done deal if their history is anything to go by. Sent from my SM-G935F using...

Oh, definitely! That said, the more I find out about the current establishment the more I am convinced that a full revolution is required! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

This is true and it certainly hasn't turned me into a Papworth fan. I am simply commenting on the content of this particular article which I think makes good points. The ARU at the moment needs a bit of bashing I think. As far as bringing solutions, I don't 100% agree with all the solutions he...

I must say, I haven't been a big Papworth fan previously, but he makes a very good case here. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Poorly timed comments. If he thinks that four teams is the correct decision then I am tempted to ask him to offer up the Waratahs for the chop. Apologies, this infighting doesn't help but neither does fighting over a carcass before the murder is even complete! With regard to his comments about...

If you are talking about getting games onto FTA then I wholeheartedly agree! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Many possible ways. But basically the ARU needs to offer a product which FTA tv is willing to bid for. In my mind the NRC is this product, though it will need further development to make it truely attractive. I believe we have plenty of talent, we just need to sure up the development pathways...

There is quite a lot that the ARU can do to help the popularity of the game. There is nothing intrinsic in the game of rugby that makes it less popular than any other code, it all comes down to exposure and marketing. This is a great simplification of course as there are many factors here that...

I certainly take your point. I am trying to stay as measured as possible during this but it is hard! I am a Force supporter but will be almost equally as sad if the Rebels get cut. Neither team deserve this, nor any other Aus franchise for that matter. My main gripes are twofold. First, the...

I understand your argument but respectfully disagree. The decision to cut a side will not over the medium to long term do much at all to keep the ARU solvent. As others have said, if the system is broken you need to fix the system, this decision does nothing to fix the system which brought us to...

I disagree in this case. The ARU needs to be held accountable for the mess they have created and whichever club gets earmarked foe termination has the right to fight for their survival. It would be far worse in my opinion if either club simply rolled over to the ARU under the guise of doing...

We have chosen a very aggressive pack which is a good sign that the attitude will be there. M.Hodgson at 7 is just immense, good as Koteka is, Hodgson just gives more mongrel. Isa and RHP is the biggest and most aggressive 6-8 combo we have played this year. Richie Arnold has the size (yet to...

It is nice when we can hate the same things! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
