All the physical attributes required. None of the sense.
I was at a Waratahs function earlier this year, and he was there along with others. He basically said if they brought in the proposed below-sternum tackling, he'd quit.
Proving my point above. League is calling.

Reason actually on point about Hamish

Rugby Australia has been dealt another sizeable blow, with Harvey Norman opting not to renew its three-year sponsorship of Super Rugby.
The news was confirmed by chairperson Gerry Harvey on Thursday, with the company shifting its sports sponsorship focus elsewhere.
"What we do is, we do whatever sport for a while; we don't necessarily hang on to it forever," Harvey told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"So we move around on different sports so we're very heavy into sport advertising that we don't necessarily stay with the one sport forever.The full article is on ESPN. I'm surprised that McLennan's head hasn't exploded yet with his own self-importance based on his comments later in the article. He certainly knows how to market himself. What a muppet.

.Had he left after the World Cup, I think he would be viewed differently. People would respect the balls to make the big calls, and resign when the biggest call didn't work out. Instead he hung on, insisting we needed him and it was all a witch hunt from jaded losers who were out to get him. It was sad.
Has his redundancy package been published? That'll be why he didn't resign.

Wow, just wow. A Eur1M agreement that was ORAL ONLY WTAF? Amateur hour.

This is the type of business guy the governance review reckons we need more of in NZ ...

That's the business genius RA has now lost with McLennan throwing his toys out of the cot?

"Rumours of an impromptu champagne party being thrown at the headquarters of New Zealand Rugby have yet to be substantiated, although the bellicose Aussie businessman was known to be about as popular with the leaders of NZR as a rabid possum."
Seriously quality writing.

Yeah you know the subject must be a bit of a toxic individual when that happens.

Sounds like Greg Growden from over here. Enormously pleased with their own cleverness and has enough readership of similar intelligence to chortle along with them.

Given he was an elected Chair, I'm not sure he gets one? I'm no expert in corporate governance though...

Board members aren't employees so wouldn't be covered by normal redundancy and as @Machpants notes he resigned because he wouldn't be Chair.
