@TheVoon 14. Everyone but Webster played test footy. Plus Andrew Heath and Jason Little came off the bench as did future Springbok captain Andre Vos!

@drift_node037 @brumby_fan Richie Mo’unga ‘played’ for the All Blacks. It doesn’t make him has been. 3 and 6 are seasoned Super players. I’ve coached Will Harris at Shute, it’s only a matter of time before he gets called up. Point is - Force can’t blame player quality for performances this season

Caleb Muntz a 🇫🇯 nation turns its lonely eyes to you…. Drua 0-2 and I’m battling to see who they beat this year. An Aussie team at home their best bet.

@hughcavill Every AFL $ wasted overseas is a $ not targeting mums in NSW/QLD. As a code they have the resources to consign Rugby to niche status in Australia.

300 French army officer cadets (EMAC) singing the 🇫🇷 anthem 'la Marseillaise' in the Douaumont Ossuary, eastern France. This modern French ossuary contains the jumbled bones of 130,000 WW1 soldiers. #WW1 #France #Verdun

Scary gap between Australian 18’s (basically the beat schoolboys and a handful of U18’s) and Australian Schools (effectively their B team) Next week Australian 18 play NZ 18’s and Australian Schools play Fiji Schools. Fiji have been in camp for close to a month & beat Oz in 24

RA has to recognise business as usual isn’t working. The next broadcast deal must have a FTA component that shows highlights of Super & World Rugby. Hire quality disruptors who know how to street fight. Leverage hard the competitive advantages it has relative to AFL/League (end)

Coupled with a broadcast deal that funds the top of the pyramid but gives the masses limited access to the game, Rugby is withering on the vine to the point it is a niche, not mainstream sport to many Aussies. Despite these challenges, Australian Rugby can rebound (8)

A reflective thread on Australian Rugby. Joe Schmidt has done a predictably fabulous job of turning around the fortunes of not just the Wallabies, but of Rugby Australia. It is impossible to overstate the positive impact his tenure has had on the mood in Oz Rugby. (1)
