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)

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?
As a Tahs fan that really hurts but as an Australian rugby fan that was actually a pretty decent advertisement for the code on FTA with lots of quality tries
The 7plus app isn’t easy or intuitive to use, but you need to scroll down on the Home tab to ‘Explore Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games’ and then scroll across to the Rugby 7s tile. The replays are in there.

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...
While I am a bit nervous about the appointment given how well SANZAAR has been run lately, I’m willing to trust McLennan given what he’s been able to accomplish recently. Hopefully with the benefit of time we’ll also see selecting Marinos as another good call.
