League Notes: ARU Pushing Ahead With Plans To Cut An Australian Super Rugby Side

The Australian Rugby Union is "pushing ahead with its plans to cull" either the Melbourne Rebels or the Western Force from Super Rugby, but Rebels Owner Andrew Cox has "not turned his back on a hybrid proposal to create the Melbourne Brumbies." With Canberra not able to match the projected growth rates of either Melbourne or Perth over the next 10 years, the "least disruptive solution" for Australian rugby would be for the Brumbies to move to Melbourne and continue the Brumbies brand in the Victorian capital (THE AUSTRALIAN, 4/25).

Racing Australia continued discussions with the Department of Immigration on two levels with the "intention of eliminating unintended consequences resulting from the changes to working visas that take effect on July 1." RA CEO Barry O’Farrell expects that when his board meets in six weeks, there will be "significant progress and no disruption to the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 4/24).
