LISTEN: Change has to happen in Australian rugby
By RugbyPass
After the Wallabies' devastating loss in the first Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney, you'd be forgiven for presuming the code is dying in Australia.
But the truth, according to Aussie rugby pundit Jaybor Staunton, is that isn't the case. But it doesn't mean that there aren't serious problems at the top.
Speaking exclusively on The Short Ball with Scotty Stevenson and Mils Muliaina, Staunton says:
"Rugby in Australia is not in the place it needs to be. (ARU boss) Bill Pulver has said club rugby isn't at the same level as the Wallabies, well that's not the point. It's the only level that's working."
"The top of Australian rugby is twisted and broken, but the foundations are still strong. It's not dying, it's just sick and injured."
Stevenson chimes in, saying:
"The guys at the top have no idea what's happening in club rugby, about the groundswell of support...as is evidenced by what you saw in Perth."

No matter who the top dog is, there will always be a theory about how they are treated special by referees.
