A bit of competition for you Gerry

ARU Executive Stakes:

c/o Rugby Heaven

An interesting quote from London's Sunday Times rugby writer Stephen Jones in the latest issue of NZ Rugby World magazine: "If the blessed rumours are true and John O'Neill is coming back into rugby with the ARU, then the number of truly gifted administrators in the whole Tri Nations set-up will rise to one," Jones wrote. The odds of O'Neill returning to the ARU remain long, especially as several directors will block his way. But Arvid Petersen will keep pushing for O'Neill's appointment - which will see the former boss shortly being approached by ARU headhunters. Renowned rugby bookmaker Dirk Diggler has framed a market for us on who will win the ARU CEO's job. Week one: 2-1 Peter O'Meara, 5-2 Rob Clarke, 9-2 Mark Sinderberry, 6-1 Tony Dempsey, 8-1 Matt Carroll, 10-1 Rod Macqueen, 15-1 Eddie Jones, 20-1 Jeff Sayle, 25-1 Peter Foster, 33-1 Ronnie Biggs, 50-1 Ken Elphick, 80-1 Mark Latham and 100-1 Alan Bond. We will update the odds every week, however, they will change abruptly if O'Neill suddenly appears in the St Leonards mounting yard with the bright-red silks on.

we had lunch with Jeff Sayle at Randwick Rugby Club on The InnFORCEers Tour in March this year. He had the classic joke about the great aussie dream.....
