In an article in todays Sydney Morning Herald the ARL has come under attack for rejecting a proposal to have both an Australian Aboriginal team and New Zealand Maori team take part in the 2008 World Cup. For once, I agree 100% with the ARL. It was a complete and utter farce that the Maori…
Well, its that time of the year again. The time when we get many promises, little action and pretty much no information.
