The last-minute try that saw the British and Irish Lions beat the Wallabies on Saturday will leave rugby fans with sore necks. It wasn’t just the dubious nature of it, but the fact the locals put up such a good performance in front of more than 90,000 spectators at the MCG. More than half were Brits on tour, sure. But Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh must have whiplash that they can draw a crowd like that on non-union turf.
One who was spotted among VIPs and junketeers was Santos chief executive Kevin Gallagher. His presence is entirely expected, considering that his oil and gas company is a major sponsor of Australian rugby. But still, it was a nice distraction for him given he has so much on his mind.
