  • Japan's Sunwolves Exit Super Rugby As Australia Bid Fails
    18 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Photo of the day Hamilton slams F1 for silence over Floyd death LONDON: World champion Lewis Hamilton criticised the “biggest of stars” in “white-dominated” Formula One for failing to speak out against racism as protests erupted around the United States. The Mercedes driver warned “I know who you are and I see you” as he accused his fellow drivers of “staying silent” following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, during his arrest in Minneapolis. The videotaped incident has triggered unrest in several cities and led to an outpouring of condemna- tion from top athletes including Michael Jordan and Serena Williams. “I see those of you who are staying silent, some of you the biggest of stars yet you stay silent in the midst of injustice,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. “Not a sign from anybody in my industry which of course is a white-dominated sport. I’m one of the only people of colour there yet I stand alone. “I would have thought by now you would see why this happens and say something about it but you can’t stand alongside us. Just know I know who you are and I see you.” Hamilton, the six-time world champion, said he sup- ported only peaceful protesters, not those who have looted stores and set fire to buildings. But he added: “There can be no peace until our so- called leaders make change. This is not just America, this is the UK, this is Spain, this is Italy and all over.

  • THE FUTURE of RUGBY UNION in AUSTRALIA This Submission
    SUBMISSION TO SENATE INQUIRY: THE FUTURE OF RUGBY UNION IN AUSTRALIA This submission broadly covers the following Terms of Reference: (a) Australian Rugby Union (ARU) deliberations leading to the decision to reduce Australian teams from 5 to 4 in the national competition; (d) Corporate governance arrangements; and (f) Other related matters. SUMMARY In a document titled, “Supporting Documentation – the Future of Super Rugby” published on 5 September 2017, the ARU cited cost as the principal reason for removing one of the five Super Rugby teams. It said there was a clear causal link between the ARU’s “financial problems” and the decline in Super Rugby team performance and lack of Wallabies success in the period 2006 to 2017. It even went so far as to say that the ARU was facing insolvency if it continued to fund all five teams through to 2020. The information I have set out in this submission outlines my view that it is the actions of the ARU, and the ARU alone, that are responsible for the national body’s parlous financial position and for the decline in the quality of, and support for, the Australian rugby product. It is my contention that the ARU has been nefarious and iniquitous in its dealings for many years, has failed to meet fundamental objects of its Constitution, and has been reckless in its governance. This has been to the severe detriment of the innocent players, coaches, staff and families of the Western Force, and of the game in general. In my view, it is to the ARU’s shame that rugby continues to languish way behind all other sports in Australia’s winter sporting landscape.

Congratulations to Harlequin Rugby Club winning four Minor Premierships in senior Rugby in 2014 All clubs obviously did their utmost to comply with the competition rules this season and to promote this sport amongst their playing members. It remains important that, the administration of clubs ensure that the game is played in the correct spirit and in compliance with the Laws of the Game.

In addition the Board expresses its appreciation to the Box Hill Rugby Union Football Club for its ongoing support and for hosting the whole Union at this Grand Final day.

Rugby was named after the Rugby School in England where, according to the famous plaque, "William Webb Ellis with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it thus originating the distinctive feature of the rugby game AD 1823".

In years gone by, this report would be prepared as a reflection on the past season as all enjoyed decent break before focusing on the requirements for the next year. It appears those days are now well behind us, as the season grows inexorably longer – as I write this report, well into November, around 60 – 80 referees are still being appointed on a weekly basis for both 7s and 15s competitions. This a matter of concern for the QRRA, as it places a heavy additional burden on our administrators, Appointments Officers and particularly on our long suffering referees (some of even the most dedicated of our members have needed to declare unavailability so that they can recover from injuries or preserve their bodies for the year ahead).

  • Trailing Clouds of Glory Did They Come
    TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... Bert Penwill, Griff Hunt and Rugby in Victoria Ron Grainger 2015 TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... 'There is a history in all men's lives' William Shakespeare Although a generation apart, two men who were to make a major contribution to Victorian Rugby shared much in common, not least that both came anointed with the mystical oil of Welsh Rugby, specifically of the Newport variety, though not of a 1st XV vintage. Nevertheless, both made their mark early in the city of that name, not only in rugby but in other sports, notably aquatic. Both were born in England, but were living in Newport by the age of ten, both commenced employment before joining the Territorials and then seeing active service in the British Army before coming to Australia where they later became deeply involved in the organisation and management of Rugby Union in Victoria. The big difference between them lay in their ages, Griffyth George (Griff) Hunt being born in 1911, the same year in which Herbert Garfield (Bert) Penwill, then aged thirty-one, left England for Australia. But as a closer look soon reveals, there were other differences, not least those associated with the social, economic and technological developments of the times. Their service to the State Union covered the beginning and end of its first fifty years and the following accounts inevitably include comment on those times and on the development of the Victorian Rugby Union (VRU) over that period. Before then, successive Unions in the Colony of Victoria had arranged rugby matches against British, New Zealand and New South Wales teams, but organised club competition had been spasmodic.

  • Fauci Says NFL Season Hopes Rest on Virus, Test Response Virus Will Make the Decision for Us: Fauci
    18 Established 1961 Sports Wednesday, May 13, 2020 Photo of the day Italian golfers swing again as lockdown eases FASANO: One of Italy’s best known golf clubs has reopened after two months of lockdown with a handful of players returning to the links under new social distancing rules. San Domenico Golf in Apulia in the heel of Italy’s boot and neighbouring luxury resort Borgo Egnazia reopened at the weekend but face an uncertain future. “We closed at the beginning of March,” said Aldo Melpignano, owner of Borgo Egnazia, where Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel held their wedding in 2012. “But this week the Apulia Region allowed some individual sports to resume and golf is one of them. We jumped at the chance and decided to reopen immedi- ately at the weekend.” The resort and golf club will initially rely on Italian guests but hopes that foreigners will soon also return. “We’re resigned to this reali- ty at least for the summer,” he said. Notable changes in the rules on the greens are that players must keep at least three metres apart when hitting the ball and not remove the flag from the hole. European Tour professional Francesco Laporta has returned to training in the open after two months of hit- ting balls into a net in his garden. Laporta hopes the season will resume again at the end of July. “There will certainly be new rules to respect,” he said, including the lack of spectators. “I think the caddie will be able to keep on following us, working close to us,” he ROME: Red Bull Sailing led by double olympic gold medalists Roman Hagara and Hans Peter Steinacher compete in Italy.

    Round 1 FORCE v BRUMBIES Friday 19 February HBF Park | 7.00pm DEAR PLAYERS, MEMBERS AND FANS, As an absolute lover of the ‘game played in heaven’, the first match of the season whether a player, coach, spectator or an administrator, is exciting and full of expectation. It is even more so in 2021 when one considers that the last time the Force played in Super Rugby here in Perth was July 2017; three years, seven months and four days ago! I am sure you are as thrilled as I am to have the Force back in action right here in WA where we belong. I welcome you all to the season opener at HBF Park! Tonight’s game is a big occasion for the Western Force as we take on the reigning Super Rugby AU champions. With several high- profile international recruits, Australians returning from overseas and a significant number of loyal fan-favourites continuing their journey with the club, the squad is looking very strong. There is nothing better than live rugby in front of your home fans. In 2021, we have a minimum of three more home games in the Australian competition, followed by Super Rugby Trans- Tasman; you will be able to see the Force play against the always entertaining Chiefs and Highlanders from New Zealand in Perth again. Plus, a special one-off event here at HBF Park with an opponent still to be confirmed. Enjoy the game!
