What They're Saying

"We don't sponsor something to get involved in controversy. That's not part of the deal. We expect our partners to take the appropriate action" -- Rugby Australia major sponsor Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, on the Israel Folau saga (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 5/9).

"Rugby has to evolve. ... You look at other sports here in Australia like Rugby League, they brought in little changes here and there. The [Australian Football League] AFL has changed a few rules, even NBA basketball changing their shot clock" -- Global Rapid Rugby club Western Force coach Tim Sampson, on how rugby can continue its expansion (SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, 5/9).

"There has been a lot of talk about a closed system, about weekend games and non-participation for certain clubs. That is not true" -- European Club Association Vice-Chair Edwin van der Sar, on the ECA's proposed changes to the Champions League (SUPER SPORT, 5/7).

"Here is someone who, to increase their turnover, proposes killing Italian and European football. They want to create a Champions League for a chosen few" -- Serie A side Torino President Urbano Cairo, on Juventus & ECA Chair Andrea Agnelli (FOX SPORTS, 5/7).
