23-year-old Wallabies prop Angus Bell suffered his third foot injury in as many years last weekend against the Brumbies.
Although an exact timeframe regarding his return remains unclear, Waratahs sources say he will miss the rest of the Super Rugby season and is unlikely to be back in time for the Wallabies’ season opener against Wales on July 6.The latest setback comes a year after Bell had a bone removed from his toe to resolve the issues.
Bell told his Waratahs teammates and coaches that he heard a “pop” in Canberra on Saturday night during his side’s 40-16 loss.
Former Wallaby Stephen Hoiles on Monday said on Between Two Posts that it would have to be considered whether he’s best served switching to the back-row to alleviate some of the pressure going through his toe.“I heard a bit of talk that they’ve got to go and look at how they fix this toe long term,” said Hoiles
"He puts a lot of pressure on the injury that he’s got when he’s scrummaging, so is there a thought process that he might not be able to continue to play prop?"

Well, if you thought Ozzie SR teams struggled for depth, is about to get far worse. Why play in Oz, when you can't earn a shed load more overseas, possibly for a good or winning team, and still get picked for the wallabies

Why the Rebels will not go gently into that good night
The Melbourne Rebels are responding emphatically to another Australian rugby crisis as they face an uncertain future.

have to say...was surprised the crowd at aami on the weekend was more vocal than i would have thought for the size, its another example of i think they could have made things look much better if they hadn't opened the whole stadium, would have made one side look quite full i think

@Kiwiwomble AAMI Park has excellent acoustics. A small crowd can make a lot of noise

Have also noticed the new SFS generates a bit of noise with the small crowd.

‘No-brainer’: Rugby Australia wants Bledisloe Cup clash on Anzac Day
RA chairman Daniel Herbert believes a Wallabies-All Blacks game on Anzac Day would be a lucrative “flagship” event for the cash-strapped code.
-
Hmm
Herbert said Rugby Australia was concerned about New Zealand and South Africa formulating a plan for old-fashioned tours in 2026 and 2031, which would lead to an eight- or nine-game tour being played during the Rugby Championship window.
It would mean a truncated Rugby Championship for the Wallabies and Argentina, which would mean a reduction in the much-relied upon Test revenue. Herbert said Australia would be looking for compensation if it was to approve.
Do SANZAAR decisions need to be unanimous?
-
@Tim Maybe they'd be better off doing a test against Turkey?
That reminds me...
What happened to our old mate who lamented any sort of rugby where Australia was likely to lose? Can't remember his/their name... bat-shit crazy. Hated Bledisloe - "because we always lose - so why do it?". Would fucking love Aus-Tur ANZAC Day test. -

If not just buy off the Argues and get the vote you need?

Not sure if they do, but not sure SANZAAR could stop teams doing tours etc.
It's actually interesting article about Herberts ideas, not saying I agree witrh them, but he rightly talking about what he thinks is good for Aus rugby, which is as he should. Also is honest in hiw assesment that Aus rugby isn't really an attractive marketing package at moment, so there is more money probably to be made with matches apart from them? -

Jeez insolvent trading for years, and that's from before covid
“My preliminary view is that the Company may have traded whilst insolvent from 31 December 2018, and that it is likely that all debts that remain unpaid were incurred which could result in an insolvent trading claim exceeding $16.8m.”

@NTA said in Aussie Pro Rugby:
What a shock. All the Rebels fans angry at RA should really be furious at their own incompetent Board.
The same Board who "loaned" the club $8M.
This is a lack of governance and responsibility.
The deal to save the rebels includes the directors being not liable for their criminal activity and the investors supplying the money to allow rebels to sue RA. I wonder why RA aren't going for it, despite being best for Rebels - best for Rebels creditors only, which some don't seem to get
-
While that catastrophe unravels, I'm hearing that the mood from RA has softened towards the other Unions given board members suddenly realised they're dependant on votes at the upcoming election.
