A new strategy paper through to 2029 released by RA includes some lofty ambitions.
Rugby Australia has set itself the bold challenge of beating the British and Irish Lions, finishing in the top four of the 2027 and 2029 Rugby World Cups and with a 70 per cent success rate by 2029, winning the Bledisloe Cup every second year.
The strategy, which has come after a series of high-performance summits among Australian rugby stakeholders, sets out the goals and standards Rugby Australia wants to achieve during the next five years, and the structure of how the game plans to do it. After years of little silverware, and a rankings slide that sees the Wallabies living between the fifth and 10th teams in the world, the Performance Excellence section sets out the goal for the Wallabies and Wallaroos within the next five years to “play on the last weekend of the 2027 and 2029 Rugby World Cup”, increase the win percentages to 70 per cent, win medals at the LA Olympics in sevens and win two Super Rugby Pacific titles.
“All three pillars are interdependent and critical to a thriving rugby ecosystem,” RA chief executive Phil Waugh said in a statement. “And all have been developed in collaboration with member unions, Super Rugby clubs and RUPA.“Australian Rugby is united, aligned, and poised for success on and off the field. The benefits of this all-of-game strategy will be realised for many years to come.”
