My first memories of rugby were watching him carve up in the 95 World Cup. A true NZ legend.

When he steam rolled the Pommy FB my jaw hit the ground. Absolutely terrifying ball-runner.

Brumbies say they are 1 mill dollars behind in corporate sales because they haven't been able to sell corp boxes with no stadium agreement.

ARU to announce $275 million TV deal

The Australian Rugby Union has secured a new broadcast rights deal worth more than $275 million in a deal that will see all Super Rugby matches live on Fox Sports and a Sunday morning replay on Ten Network.

The deal, first revealed by Fairfax Media in 2014, has taken more than a year to complete because the code's governing body, SANZAR (South Africa, New Zealand and Australia Rugby), who will also absorb Argentina as a full member from next year, had to negotiate 11 different broadcast deals before making an official announcement.

Brumbies were great tonight. David Pocock is the sort of bloke you want your daughter to bring home for dinner. So loveable.

I watched The Code: Brumbies on Foxsports and it was a great insight into the Brumbies. It is the sort of show that every sports team should be presenting to their fans.

Except the Titans/Sharks/Tigers. No one wants to see those **** shows.

Shadow Boxer · Post by **Shadow Boxer** » February 27, 2016, 12:42 pm

Haha, don't know why either code does it really,

RU players are getting massive, the lightest bloke in the Brumbies pack was david pocock at 116 kg's of pure muscle

hmm...

He's put the board off side, he had an interview on grandstand which sealed his fate

I heard from a source that he turned up to a game with vinyl not leather elbow patches. A rugby no no.

Yeah he signed his fate when he pretty much threaten them to back down or else he would bring the entire club down.

Brumbies CEO gets an injunction to go back to work just 2 days after being sacked

Would have loved to seen the reaction of colleagues as he walked to his desk.

Morning all..

Ah **** Michaels back

Post by **greeneyed** » March 23, 2016, 5:46 pm

An injunction! What a basket case.

Shadow Boxer · Post by **Shadow Boxer** » March 23, 2016, 5:59 pm

Apparently granted on some sort of whistleblower provision, **** could get interesting

He said he would do it.
