Professional rugby is a result-based game - one win in nine
matches is far from satisfactory. Gary Flowers |

This is a very difficult decision, but the ARU strongly
believes we must give the Wallabies a fresh start with a new
coach who will give us the best possible chance of future
success. While the ARU Board has decided to search for a new
coach, we also recognise that Eddie Jones has made an
enormous contribution to the game. Gary Flowers |

It's been a tough decision but I think the time is right for
me, for my family, and for the team. After the achievements
last year and the development that is going on within the
team, it is a good time to step down. Tana Umaga |

Tana's legacy is immense - he has led the All Blacks with
distinction and to great success, while making a major
contribution to the development of All Blacks rugby and what
it means to be an All Black. Graham Henry |

At Mr Brian van Rooyen's request, I met him on Thursday
(January 26) in Sandton and he asked me, for certain
reasons, to facilitate his exit from South African rugby,"
said Bacher. "I agreed to do so." Ali Bacher |

The relationship between the Welsh and the English is based
on trust and understanding. They don't trust us and we don't
understand them. Dudley Wood |

These English you're just going out to meet have taken our
coal, our water, our steel; they buy our houses and only
live in them a fortnight a year... Down the centuries these
English have exploited and pillaged us - and we're playing
them this afternoon, boys. Phil Bennett, captain of
Wales in a team talk before a test against England. |

Following Scotland's accusations of French foulplay - if you
can't take a punch, you should play table tennis. Pierre

Lawrence Dallaglio is a quality player and he came on and
played a quality game but we have got to put all egos aside
if we want England to be successful. I've got no ego about
anything. I am very content with how we played. Martin
Corry |

I guess we just have to take it on the chin. We dished it
out last year when we won the Grand Slam and now we have to
regroup quickly for next week against Scotland. Mike

It was an ugly game of rugby by any standards. Eddie

The biggest problem is in the promotion-relegation issue. We
oppose the idea. We will protect our rights in this
regard. Cheetahs president Harold Verster |

|
The ARU received a large number of applications and we cast
a broad net. Given the challenges we face, a John Connolly
led coaching team is the fresh start Australian rugby
needs. Gary Flowers |
Vol6 Week 3 |
|
I don't mind a challenge and they don't come bigger than
winning a World Cup. It's a great privilege to coach the
national team. We've got 20 Test matches to get the team in
a winning position. John Connolly |

It's ridiculous that the Spears, who are clearly not yet
even ready to be competitive in the Currie Cup, can just
walk into next year's Super 14 at the expense of one of the
other sides. 'Anonymous' top rugby official |

It's now up to SA Rugby to have the balls to stand up to
these dinosaurs and for (SA Rugby President) Brian van
Rooyen to put his foot down. Southern Spears chief
executive Tony McKeever |

|
By not actually wearing a number on the back then I think it
actually takes away from the players' minds and mindsets
that if they are wearing 10 or seven or whatever it is that
is the only job players do on the field. I want the players
to think beyond that. Ewen McKenzie |
