I am a little nervous about this WR decision, despite the fact that only a few weeks ago the World Rugby executives have recommended GRR (or WSR then) to the WR council for a decision.
When Twiggy's team had a meeting a few months ago with NSWRU and Raelene, she issued a press statement, saying the Western Sydney WSR team was approved subject to certain conditions. The only comment from NSW was their concern about WSR signing Shute players. Then weeks later NSW suddenly weakly say there is not enough time for the Western Sydney team to be organised properly and stall WSR for a year or two. Not a word from Raelene. I wonder if Clyne and Robinson leaned on NSW and Castle? (and now that Tongan and Samoan orientated GRR team will be in Honolulu and therefore possibly more Australian based players playing overseas and lost to NSW).
