Say WA disaffiliated to make it clear they aren't a national body. Then given the minimal support the ARU actually provide, the NT, SA and Tasmania follow suit. Victoria might follow soon enough the way they are going, and you'd be in a position to argue that they don't actually represent enough of the country to be the Olympic organising body. And with the hurdle I think being three states, they'd be getting pretty close to no longer being classified a national sporting body. You'd have to be setting something up in its place though, both structurally and financially..

    It would take someone or a group who could really maintain the rage too, as it might take a little time.

    We don't feel that having them play to an empty stadium is a great celebration of their success and hard work at reaching the top. But we have no worries wearing our Force gear to show the ARU the reason we are here.

    Come next year that will be a different matter.
    How about we try to persuade EVERYONE in the crowd to wear blue instead of yellow , neutral fans to wear blue, interested bokkies too. Much better look for th tv than burning stuff( unless it's a cold night )

    I hadn't looked at the tickets prices so went with a ballpark figure so you get the point.

    Just had a look and the lowest ticket price is $60.

    I think that the article shows a boycott is the ONLY option.

    "The bigger concern of the Force news, said Cheika, was about ensuring hurt WA rugby people don’t leave the game"

    More than 40 years of supporting the Wallabies and right now I couldn't give a rusty fuck about them.

    Wake up Cheika you dickhead - how do you expect people who have put so much passion into the Force to respond when lies, deceipt and corruption have stolen our team from us.

    Read Jargan's note above - that's how most of us feel at the moment when someone from " rugby's heartland" throws platitudes our way.

    If the Wallabies want support and to make a stand against the actions that have taken place then I have a proposition for them. For this weekends Bledisloe Cup game the players will receive a match day payment of between $10k-$12k if they all put this money into Own the Force it would be between $230k and $276k and if they got smart using Twiggy's system then this could go as high as $299k. So are the players willing to take a stand, as up until now barring the Force players no one else has stood up at least not publicly? After watching Adam and Dane's interview yesterday I am left with no doubt that these guys have already sunk their own money into the Own the Force.

    This would help repair the damage done by the ARU whilst the Wallabies will easily engage their fan base and get support for their actions both on and off the field.

    If tickets are already purchased the ERU won't give a stuff about the boycott they already have the money in their coffers.. It really makes sense to turn up in Blue and get the Boks fans to do the same.. that will be seen everywhere the game is shown and show support for the Force.. The tickets were expensive enough, and most of us are unable to thow the money away.. Wear Blue and FUARU and take banners into the game showing ones support for the Force. For those who haven't purchased tickes stage a protest outside the ground. Our Force Boys need our support for the hard work they have done.....

    The Wallabies are our National Team representing Australia and made up of wonderful young men playing their best for our country.

    We owe it to support them, to support our national team.

    The world will be watching - some 100 million people. If stadium is empty they will just put it down to lack of support in Perth or bad weather or both.

    If they see a stadium filled with Blue - then they will ask questions and those are the questions the ARU will have to answer.

    Fair enough Hans. I admit to thinking again about it after seeing Dane and Adam on TV. What I'd really like to see is some solidarity from their team mates. The suggestion that they donate $1000 each from their match payment to Twiggies 2 two for 1 offer would get a sold out blue stadium, I reckon. How about RUPA do something publicly positive and give that a push among their members?
