Former Wallaby shares glowing endorsement for new Rugby  boss

 

Former Wallaby Greg Martin has given new Rugby Australia chairman Daniel Herbert his highest recommendation following Hamish McLennan’s resignation.

 

Undoubtedly, Australian rugby is facing a crisis. Eddie Jones, the Wallabies’ coach, resigned a few weeks after his team was unable to advance past the quarterfinals of the Rugby World Cup.

The Sydney Roosters, an NRL team, are also interested in Mark Nawaqanitawase. The Wallabies winger met with the Tricolours in Sydney last week, according to reports. And that’s not all.

Six unions, led by Queensland, sent a public letter to McLennan and Rugby Australia requesting the resignation of the chairman. McLennan first turned him down.

“This will be the turning point in the rugby battle.” All that matters is money and power, and we have been failing at this for years. According to McLennan, “We live in interesting times,” The Sydney Morning Herald.

This has to do with values. In reality, they are prioritizing their own interests and local interests over the game.

However, that all ended earlier this week when McLennan was ousted off the Rugby Australia bench and replaced by Wallaby Daniel Herbert, the winner of the Rugby World Cup.

Though it will take time to determine whether or if this was the right move for RA, former Wallaby Greg Martin could not have expressed the “extremely positive”

Hamish McLennan, who alleges he was the victim of a power grab, thinks that his removal as chairman of Rugby Australia will only worsen the already severely fractured code.

“We have to discuss Australian rugby,” Martin stated on Triple M Breakfast in Brisbane.God, it’s occurred at last.

“The manager, Hamish McLennan, is a haughty, conceited fool who declared, ‘I’m not stepping down. What kind of an example would that set for my children?'”

“Every union in Australia, with the exception of New South Wales, are rotten cockroaches who believe they control the entire system.”

 

“The good news is what I want to talk about: Daniel Herbert, a gentleman who was born in Ashgrove in Brisbane and played about 80 Test matches for Australia, won a World Cup with Australia in 1999, and is now the new chairman.” adore him.

“I’m really glad he’s in charge of Australian rugby now. It’s a really good thing.

Herbert has already taken a highly significant and much-needed decision to address one of the most critical issues facing Australian rugby in only his first few days in the position.

 

Herbert proposed that a new level of club-focused rugby may emerge because there is no equivalent to Super Rugby in Australia, nor is there anything like to the NPC in New Zealand.

Herbert said to reporters on Monday at Brisbane’s GPS Rugby Club, “Clubs like GPS and many around Brisbane, many in Sydney and in other states…that’s where there is some real tribalism.”

“On that tribalism, we must build. Over the years, several models have been explored, therefore unions and clubs will need to play a significant role in determining how that competition is structured.

Following an emergency board meeting called by Rugby Australia, former Wallaby Dan Herbert was appointed as the new Chair.

“I believe we can move it to the following year. Although there have been some conversations, we still need to model it and see how it appears.

Over the past ten years, numerous Wallabies coaches have stated that one of our main problems with developing players is that they don’t play enough games.

“I recall hearing from a Wallabies coach that Richie Mo’unga had already participated in 100 first-class games when he was called up to the All Blacks. Before Noah Lolesio became a Wallaby, he played maybe 20 games.

“Our guys need to play more football—better, more accurate football.

“Phil and I both think that there is a lot of tribalism at the club level and that the clubs can grow even more with the right competition.”
