I’m not positive if you mean that you want to write a weblog but don’t want the templates that come supplied with places like Doodlekit… or in the event you mean you would like to use the content material from another weblog - not written by you - in your internet web site.

South Africa seems to be the dunce of the rugby world. I really never liked Luyt, but at least he could negotiate.

SARU seems to be intellectually challenged pushovers.

Adam - As you can see from the lost RWC Bid that strategic planning and competency is in short supply.

If anything SA Rugby could have delivered a real power block of united African and Southern Hemisphere rugby nations to the table of the IRB - that would champion rugby to be played at the Olympics.

There are 3 fundamemental initiatives for this that has passed them by as they are too focussed on their navel.

The SA Rugby Navel Academy reigns supreme and they paid a hefty price today, will again on the 31st October and again pre August.

There is a dire need for an intervention and a rescue mission.

Clearly, SA Rugby made a mistake from the get go with the new agreement. Everything else, which stinks of compromise, is a result of a poorly arranged agreement.

Why did SA Rugby agree to the new framework when clearly we have the most to offer? I know Aus and NZ threatened to break away, but would people actually take that seriously? Some how I don’t think so…

David James Smith - Which is why South Africa have attained No.1 IRB status after last Saturday.

Still, SA is on course for the Tri-Nations and needs to get more organised for Super Rugby. While SA concerns itself with Currie Cup, the Brumbies are warming up against the French this past weekend against Bourgoin-Jallieu (losing 20-12) and again Bayonne this weekend. Great exposure to international rugby and also to develop a team spirit and culture on the road. They will be a force to be reckoned with in 2010.

Strategic scenario planning & professionalism must be the hall marks in South African rugby across all 14 Unions.

For example - Take a look at http://www.vicsuper15.com.au/ and see if you can find a comparable layout and planning for the South African 6th Super Rugby franchise.

Interesting to see the numbers breakdown on the players. It kind of makes you wonder why we haven’t been winning the tri-nations & super14s every year if our player numbers are that high.
