I'd never heard of Stewart Mitchell until a few days ago when he was mentioned as the favourite for the position.

And NZR has a new Chair.

Hope Dame Patsy goes alright. I do remember Mitchell saying when he got gig he didn't expect to have position long as he never really was a huge fan of wanting job, and thought perhaps another year or 2 was all he had him for being on board.

Actually wonder if Dame Patsy realises she has finally made it, one thing to be Governor General, but she's finally cracked it as chairman of NZR!!!

She won't feel that way if they fuck up the ABs coach appointment. She will raise the ire of a horde of angry Polish chicks

Na mate, appointing AB coach is not the most important job NZR got,, that's just for people on forums. There job is to run all rugby in NZ, she'll be ok.

@Stargazer Ozzie manage a 8 mill profit after covid, us a 50 mill loss!

[Stargazer]

@Machpants NZR have done a lot of investments in women's rugby (incl RWC and Aupiki) and community rugby in 2022. I understand from what's published about RA's AGM that they plan on using their surplus to make that kind of investments. So I don't think it's that simple to compare, as you'd have to look at what money is spent on and where it's coming from.

Didn't OZ get an advance from world rugby or was that the year before?

Indeed, it was a bit tongue in cheek. I bet they also didn't spend 40 mill on grass roots
