Professional rugby is a result-based game - one win in nine matches is far from satisfactory. Gary Flowers Vol6 Week 1
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 1
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 1
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 1
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 2
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 2
================================================================================================================
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. Vol6 Week 2
================================================================================================================
Following Scotland's accusations of French foulplay - if you can't take a punch, you should play table tennis. Pierre Berbizier Vol6 Week 2
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 3
================================================================================================================
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 Ruddock Vol6 Week 3
================================================================================================================
It was an ugly game of rugby by any standards. Eddie O'Sullivan Vol6 Week 3

================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 3
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 3
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 3
================================================================================================================
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 Vol6 Week 3
