    How bad is ARU site??

    Just had a bit of a visit to rugby.com.au | to try and find out the lineups for this weekends games and they don't have a single mention of it. I know some of the lineups may not even be out yet, but they should at least have previews of the games. This isn't the first time this website has had limited if any information. No wonder Rugby is losing fans, you can't even find out information on games that are happening in 24 hours. And it's not like an Aussie team isn't involved, the Brumbies are playing in the first game. Guess they are too preoccupied with threatening teams that don't give a harsh enough penalty for an internal team matter.

    Yeah, the website is rubbish, the English RFU website has the fixtures for the November tests up a long time ago while the ARU doesn't even have stand in fixtures yet, despite the fact that they are basically finalised....I don't think they really care about any of that...

    Any correlation with the noticably slower rate at which information has been going up on the SMH site recently - it would explain a lot if they were a shared utility.

    After that post I checked each team's website for lineups and 13/14 have them up. The only one is the Hurricanes don't have their lineup yet.

    I only go to ARU site these day as a last resort when i go looking for something rugby related. Most useless sproting website i've ever seen and considering that it the home page of main controlling body for the sport in this country. Just another reason why the ARU is useless

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    i remember when they were bring out the ARC they had dead links and incorrect details on the competition and i was emailing the person who runs the site to tell him the details are correct.

    Im suprised the ARU dont have continual player interviews being posted on the site and more multimedia stuff like that.

    Ahh, such wasted potential, they should have a look at some of the English Premier League clubs websites, like Chelsea.
