Before you open this, if you listen ever so quietly, you can hear the distant sound of old Pharts spluttering into their port, and wheezing on their cigars at HQ.

Am I the only one who finds the headline a little depressing from the BBC? What Rugby Australia have done is appoint a highly qualified person to the role, nothing more nothing less. The fact she is a female is totally irrelevant and there is little need to comment on it.

Australia's rugby union governing body has chosen Raelene Castle as its new chief executive, the first time a woman has been given the job.


Good. It's ground breaking so has to be pointed out. It shouldn't be.

Wonder how many would have noticed the story and commented if it hadn’t been mentioned on here.

It is about recognition in an otherwise male dominated officialdom sport. In many other arenas, women rarely get mentioned in sport on here. When was the last Valkyries mention for instance?

When I first saw the story on BBC (BBC Link) I wondered what SuBo was doing in rugby.

And she's a Kiwi.
Good on her! Shouldn't even be an issue.
