The New Zealand Herald's Wynne Gray argues the IRB need to step up after they failed to take action amid allegations of foul play in the World Cup final.
"Almost three weeks have elapsed since the World Cup final. Granted, it's not a great deal of time, even for such a progressive organisation as the International Rugby Board, to accept they messed up in the wake of the tournament conclusion.
They did have other critical issues to sort out, like shifting the election of their next chairman from Auckland to the UK then on to Los Angeles next month. Sounds like Disneyland is a perfect setting.
Most IRB functionaries seem to operate in that sort of never-never land.
Send all the councillors to Space Mountain and scare the hell out of them to make some decisions when they take their troupe to LA."
