A losing bonus point would have secured the Rebels’ spot in the top six, but instead they were leapfrogged by the Pirates who scored a last second bonus point against Gordon. “Uni played well, but when you make some of the errors we did and make them where we did, it’s very costly,” said Barr. “We created opportunities and had territory and possession but came up with too many critical errors. We dropped the ball at the restart and you just can’t afford to do that at this level, so we made it hard on ourselves and easier on our opposition. Uni are good and they made us pay.” Manly’s Vaka Manu powers on against Randwick With Super Rugby taking a break, a scattering Photo: Carl Peterson of Waratahs have made themselves available for their clubs but Southern Districts will not be “We need to make sure our preparation is really boosted by the presence of second-rower Kane good for every game and that we’re firing every Douglas.

  • Stadiums Taskforce Report
    4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.

    bienvenidos Queremos darles a todos una cálida bienvenida a nuestra tercera temporada en el Personal Super Rugby. Para nosotros es un placer, un orgullo y una responsabilidad inmensas estar en condiciones de participar en este certamen, que tiene el mejor nivel de rugby que hoy se puede encontrar en todo el planeta. Este nuevo Super Rugby de 15 equipos nos brinda la posibilidad de ver a los jugadores más renombrados del Hemisferio Sur y del mundo jugar en fines de semana consecutivos, tanto aquí en Argentina como en Sudáfrica, Australia o Nueva Zelanda. Esto, que hoy se ha convertido en una sana costumbre que se vive hasta con cierta naturalidad, hace no muchos años atrás era algo impensado y hasta utópico no sólo para el jugador argentino, sino para el público. Hoy, con inmensa alegría, tenemos por tercera vez la posibilidad de disfrutar de este rugby que es además, el espectáculo deportivo de mayor envergadura, calidad y reconocimiento internacional que tiene nuestro país. Casi ya sobre la finalización del mandato de esta Presidencia y Consejo Directivo, estamos absolutamente agradecidos del unánime apoyo que hemos recibido siempre de parte de todo el rugby argentino en su conjunto, representado por las uniones provinciales y sus clubes, que son, en definitiva, para quienes todos nosotros (La dirigencia amateur y los profesionales de la UAR) trabajamos incansablemente todos los días del año (con errores y con aciertos) pero siempre en pos de mejorar la cantidad y calidad de los torneos, de los entrenadores y jugadores que conforman el rugby de base, que son los cimientos del rugby argentino.

The Force players understand and appreciate the power of our home supporters – you are all our 16th player. Firstly, congratulations to the Force players, head coach Tim Sampson and his staff for the nail-biting win last Friday against the Rebels. It had been a big week for the coaches and players as we reviewed our season to date, and credit to them and all involved to embrace this process. Tonight’s performance against the Waratahs will play a crucial role in defining our season. I am sure you are as thrilled as I am that we are playing at home again this weekend, especially given we are back at 100% capacity at HBF Park. After last week’s memorable win on the road, the Western Force is now in an exciting contest that is like another Grand Final for us when we take on the Waratahs! It is set to be a blockbuster clash with a place in the finals on the line. We welcome our good friends from NSW, including CEO Paul Doorn and their sponsors who have made the trip to Perth, the greatest city in Australia. The theme for our supporters this week is ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and, as always, you can expect a great matchday experience for the whole family.
