    That said though. A competition with a silly name is better than none at all; and certainly better than glorified exhibition matches by part time players. So i’ll probably get on board
    Hopefully it is a working title till they get a naming rights sponsor.

    1. There is palpable disappointment in the Moore Park bunker this morning, over the loss of the bid for WRWC 2021 - certain elements apparently were saying that they had it in the bag.
    2. The Powers that Be in the bunker are still trying to work out how and why the 2019 Bledisloe in Perth has been sold out 9 months before the actual match, given the ARU/RA's official line that rugby in WA is dying.

    There is an empty Woodside Building at the top of the terrace that might fit them all in.
    Not completely empty - I know a company or two which have agreed floor tenancies already.

    The disappointment of missing out on the Womens World Cup is that it means there will be no IRB or World Rugby grant money to be siphoned off the womens game and redirected to the Rebels.

    So RA completely cut out of the action. Not surprised after the way they have treated him

    Why?

    From all reports she's been quite receptive and willing to talk and cooperate since she assumed the role. The stonewalling of the WS team certainly wasn't her doing. Hopefully we see it up and running post 2020 though. Be good not to have to travel to Moore Park to watch games live and in person.

    Yes, I think that's her key role, being approachable and willing whilst maintaining the air of complete and utter ineffectiveness that we all know and love.

    You have to remember the organisation she represents lacks the agility of a private enterprise. Forrest and his group enjoy the ability to pivot rapidly with the circumstances. Castle doesn't have that luxury. She has to deal with a rather cumbersome structure of competing interests pulling in several directions.

    For all we know she may be all for the concept but again is beholden to the structure she inhabits.

    Its interesting the confusion as to why they missed on the Womens World Cup. Maybe trying to fob the tournament off to a regional centre instead of having a major city in the tournaments name hurt their bid. WRWC Sydney has a much better chance and name than WRWC Hunter Valley. Interesting choice of logic for the bid as one of Cams reasons for keeping Melbourne was the importance of having a recognisable city name associated with the brand.

    It was the southern unions that voted against the RA. NZRU excluded from voting due to lodging a bid.
