The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) has bowed to pressure from a number of high-profile former players, saying it will review its strategic plan for the code. Nick Buoniconti Jersey .Dozens of ex-Wallabies, including the likes of former World Cup winning captain Simon Poidevin, had signed a letter detailing their concerns about the organisations approach to managing rugby in Australia.Key amongst complaints was the lack of funding for club rugby.Ratings, crowds and participation have also been down for the code in recent years while a number of the Australian Super Rugby franchises are struggling financially.The ARU issued a statement late on Tuesday saying it will review its plans marked in for the 2016-20 period.It confirmed that a meeting was held on Tuesday that brought together representatives from community rugby, schools rugby, senior club rugby, and the professional game to discuss wide-ranging issues affecting the code.Poidevin was in attendance.ARU Chairman, Cameron Clyne said: Todays meeting was very constructive and the ARU has made a commitment to review its current strategic plan in light of the discussions at the meeting.We had a strong representation of stakeholders from across all levels of the game and some good progress was made in terms of sharing knowledge and ideas for how to best move the game forward.Obviously a major part of the discussion was around the game at the community level and thats where a lot of the emphasis will be placed in the review of the current strategic plan.The review will start early next year.All of the people present in the meeting are working toward the same end - growing participation and our great game, Poidevin said in the statement.They came to meet the ARU personally because they are passionate about the game and want more Australians to have the opportunity to know and love the game as they do. A goal the ARU shares. Randy Moss Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Raymond Clayborn Jersey . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. http:///...rsey-large-561f.html . Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. Having Billy Slater back on board and an NRL grand final under their belts can only make Melbourne Storm a better side in 2017, says Cooper Cronk.The superstar halfback said while their two-point loss to Cronulla in the NRL title decider stung, there were some positives to be taken from the season.When youre the losing side in a grand final you try and hang your hat on something and you can look at the positives and say weve made some big steps in the direction this club wants to go to in terms of our next tier of players playing really well, Cronk said.Now if we ever go to the grand final again they will be better off for the occasion.Test fullback Slater missed the season after re-injuring his troublesome shoulder in round one, but said post-grand final that he still had the hunger to play on next season.Cronk said the return of Slater would be a bonus for the club, with his young gun fullback replacement Cameron Munster set to shift to five-eighth.Billy Slater is still the best fullback in the game and I know as a person and an athlete he will do everything possible .... George Mira Jersey. and Im backing him to come back and play his best football, said Cronk at a fan presentation on the Yarra River.After claiming the minor premiership and coming so close to the title, missing an opportunity for a last-ditch try to steal the win, Cronk said they would use the pain of the loss to drive their bid for a premiership in 2017.It will probably sit with me for 12 months until we get another opportunity, Cronk said.You can use it as motivation in the pre-season to get out and have a red-hot crack and see where you end up next October.Coach Craig Bellamy said the club would have a post-season review next week but didnt expect too much to change for next season given they won the minor premiership.To be the minor premiers it means youre the best team for six months, to be the premiers you have to be the best team for the last month and we werent quite that, Bellamy said.But that gives you plenty of reasons to be proud of them.
