That article has ARU leak written all over it - "we tried but were undermined".
Statement from Willy sounds like tripe
If that f@ckwit asking the first question has anything to decide we're toast. What a drip.
Freaking audio keeps cutting out at inappropriate times, Makes it hard to keep track of the savaging, however he certainly seems to be squrming.
Hmmm, lots of spin there and very open questions but hopefully it is just a way to get him to dig his own hole.
Billy doesn't want to answer any questions about how SANZAaR operates, He's currently getting dressed down and told that he doesn't ask the questions......Love it!
Not exercising veto, and admitting that the killing of the Force was "interesting"
This current interrogator is doing a great job
Hmmm, he mentions a bit about the NRC not making money compared to NZ & SA. Teeing up a future cut of the comp?
SANZAaR Finances seem to only really share the revenue of Rugby Championship and Super Rugby, yet South Africa wields the money coming from the Currie Cup like a warhammer to get their own politically driven agendas through.
It's Senator Reynolds ripping Billy apart at the moment, had to clarify that it was't her intention to question his competence, I'm pretty sure that her intention was to allow Billy to demonstrate his incompetence all on his own.
When asked a question about the growth in participation between the states, he says that he's hearing everybody bleating about not enough money going to grassroots.
JUST ANSWER THE FREAKIN QUESTION!
Just said he is going to meet Bob Hunter at RugbyWA later today to discuss community rugby development, how can they develop community rugby in WA when they just paid everyone in the development department off!
Dodge, Duck Dive Dip and Dodge
6million will go toward funding the other super rugby clubs - Pulver
EDIT- 6 million from axing the Force, some will go toward propping up the other super rugby clubs
So when he and Clyne said it would go to grassroots they meant the Waratahs and Reds?
Panel asking for spreadsheet.
