@NTA Mmmm "Little information has been provided as to exactly how many players feature in the most up to date PONI squad but it is understood players are aware where they stand."
A hint that it will be the Wallabrumbies? Or maybe just My Little Ponies?

This is getting more interesting by the day. Andrew Slack has his say.

Big u-turn by Dave Rennie. He said he'd walk if she got booted up.
She resigns before she gets pushed (the writing was on the wall), but Rennie stays.
Call me a cynic, but he was always going to stay. Where else was he going to go?

He never said he'd leave, it was just click bait news titles

News Ltd are busy throwing their weight behind Wiggs to become CEO:
Australian rugby’s most successful administrator John O’Neill has known Wiggs for 30 years and believes he should be RA’s next chair. He thinks Wiggs is the man to lead the charge in recruiting a “high calibre” CEO after Castle’s exit last Thursday.
“He is intelligent, hardworking, dedicated and fiercely determined,” O’Neill said. “Qualities that are absolutely needed in meeting RA’s challenges in this incredibly difficult time. Leadership is a foul-weather friend and I genuinely believe Peter Wiggs is the leader for this time. It’s imperative to move forward quickly, without any baggage.
“He is forensically gifted and will see through the bluff and blunder and can identify the problem and more importantly find the solution.” O’Neill, a former CEO of the Australian Rugby Union, added: “In addition to his commercial acumen he has an inarguable affection and affinity for the game of rugby.”
Wiggs has another high-profile supporter in Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll. The pair have known each other for 42 years and played rugby together for Mosman.
“He’s very smart, very intelligent, honest and plain speaking,” Carroll said. “He enjoys his rugby and cares about the game.
“He’s not a person just fronting up for the sake of something to do, he cares about the game, he’s been a great supporter of Mosman rugby club over the years, through helping out.”
McLean has stated he will be gone “sooner rather than later” and he is currently pencilled in to exit the executive-chairman’s role by July. Many have questioned the practicalities of an interim-chair overseeing the recruitment of a new CEO, given McLean may not be there later.
One certainty is that there is a movement in full swing for Wiggs to become Rugby Australia’s next chairman.

I wonder if I should send in my CV. I played rugby and lived in Mosman briefly. That's enough for a board position surely?
