Been a big couple for days for Rugby Australia.
Firstly they announced a new 5 year Strategic Plan - you can read about it here and then this morning, Phil's announced a new third tier competition to kick off next year
There's been a number of similar announcements over the past 12 months with no firm model outlined.The key statement this time around looks to be
"How do we work on an affordable program and competition post-club rugby during that September-October period which we're working through, which will come back to then how do you fund it and ensure it's affordable, but it will ultimately drive greater performance excellence.”
The article notes "The National Rugby Championship (NRC) has filled this gap previously, running from 2014-2019" Lets hope we're not going back to the future
