‘It’s madness from a game that’s broke’
After making one-third of their staff redundant in June, Rugby Australia has reportedly offered a 16-year-old “freak” a motza to switch codes.

No-one should be kidding themselves that Australia’s five-team domestic competition is at the same standard as New Zealand’s, but that’s hardly the point, as rugby fans witnessed on the weekend.
Long-suffering Wallabies fans will be salivating at the chance to see young guns Will Harrison and Noah Lolesio square off in a taste of what they’re considerable potential might bring to the future of Australian rugby.
The NSW Waratahs Super Rugby AU calendar has been confirmed after a change due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis
If there’s one small mercy for the Waratahs after Saturday night’s gut-wrenching defeat to the Jaguares, it’s that at least their season from hell should soon be over with NSW needing a miracle to reach the playoffs.
This might be the biggest gamble of Michael Cheika’s coaching career but if the Wallabies win the World Cup this year, it won’t because they were wrapped in cotton wool.
Suspended Waratahs hooker Tolu Latu was back at training on Thursday, not to prepare for Saturday night’s match but to apologise to his teammates.
The Waratahs have gone from the best attacking team in Australia to the worst in 12 months. It’s time for someone to stand up.
Tolu Latu has conceded he should have notified NSW coaching staff about his drink-driving charge before they were alerted by The Sunday Telegraph hours before last Saturday’s match.
Israel Folau’s Australian rugby career is officially over, after the disgraced star opted against appealing last week’s sacking for homophobic social media posts. But the saga is far from finished.
Tolu Latu has been booted out of the Wallabies’ World Cup training camp in Brisbane after The Daily Telegraph exclusively revealed he had been arrested and charged with drink driving.
Not since Kevin Rudd was prime minister have the Reds beaten the Waratahs and a costly goalkicking display has created more heartache for Brad Thorn’s team.
Their Super Rugby season has been rocked by the Israel Folau saga, and none of the Waratahs are happy about it — but they insist they won’t have a wedge be driven between the squad.
As Israel Folau awaits the decision on his future, he has dropped a hint that he’s accepted his playing days with rugby union are over — while his Waratahs teammates reach out to offer support.
