@antipodean wow - so he played club (rep) rugby and 'enjoys the game' alongside those other attributes. Oh, and he has a penis
And he's from Mosman....
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?
Wait on pal, I also lived in Mosman for 2yrs, and while I played my rugby for Colleagues, I often played AGAINST Mosman. So I have been on BOTH sides of the Mosman wank, which means I can understand the fancy rich folk as well as the poor, working class plebs of the Eastern Suburbs.
My CV is in the mail.

Have you every bought a company and halved its value? Thats the key one here.
I'm willing to try.

The ARU you only have to halve 2/3rds of fuck all
Although, the healthy dose of memory and delusion will be difficult to reduce

Let's not set the bar too high. If you can type Mosman into Google maps, you get an interview.

If you can find Rawson Park on a map, you've passed for second interview.

More deck chair shuffling on the HMAS Rugby Australia:
New Rugby Australia director Peter Wiggs has resigned.
The Supercars chairman and Archer Capital co-founder joined the RA board on March 30 and was poised to take the reins as chairman until a fallout over his plans to install Australian Olympic Committee boss Matt Carroll as chief executive without going through a recruitment or interview process.
Rugby AU Chairman Paul McLean says Raelene Castle suffered bullying during the final few months of her tenure at the organisation.
Wiggs also wanted to appoint Carroll's former boss, long-running former RA chief executive John O'Neill, to a director's role on the board.
Several RA directors raised concerns over the method behind both suggested appointments, leading to Wiggs threatening to resign. He did so this morning, board sources confirmed.

@antipodean more clown shoes... Rudderless and directionless, although I suppose that's better than going full steam ahead into an iceberg.

Kearns and co have been very quiet lately. Surely they've had time to come up with ONE idea.

It's an amazingly petulant response when someone mentions "good governance"

The Australian has obtained the email chain where McLean writes to Wiggs saying his âclosenessâ to Matt Carroll, the current Australian Olympic Committee CEO who has been suggested as the next Rugby Australia boss, âwould be a concern for most Boards. So how do we apply separationâ. McLean suggests that Magellan executive and incoming board member Hamish McLennan would be a more suitable chairman. McLean proposes that Carroll and McLennan meet âimmediatelyâ. The email from McLean reads: âWhat if we get Hamish and Matt together immediately, and if Hamish is comfortable (with Matt) and to come to the Board early, and as designate Chair, we could appoint Matt (Phil (Waugh), Dan (Herbert), Brett (Godfrey), and me would support). You remain a lead director, without the Chair title which was never your desire, anyway, Matt gets the role he would like, and we get a good CEO immediately. âI can only presume you hate the politics as much as me, so Iâm keen to get this resolved. I put Rob on hold, but that wonât last long. Maybe a chat in the morning.......... Rgds PMâ Wiggs then replied to McLean saying he would resign today. âHi Paul, This is a very disappointing email, what little regard I had for RA Board is now extinguished. I tried calling to discuss. I will resign tomorrow. Regards Peter.â -
