As the 100-day Olympic Review is underway, Ballymore has become the focal point in the Brisbane 2032 stadium debate. CEO of Queensland Rugby Union, Dave Hanham, told Sam Leckie on Wide World of Sports, "We presented to the 100-day review committee about the legacy that we want to leave with Ballymore." "You're going to create a home for women's rectangular sport, another high-performance centre of excellence, and we're confident if we can come out of this 100-day review maintaining that position as an Olympic venue, that will only bode well." "Our view is there's a need, irrespective of the Olympics, but the Olympics can actually add a little bit more value to it as well," Mr Hanham continued.

The mining and resources sector often gets a bad rap when it comes to environmental credentials, but what most people don't realise is that mining is actually critical for many of the emerging technologies that environmentalists are urging us to switch to. Glass for solar panels, for example, doesn't grow on trees. It relies on high-quality silica sands, such as those found at Cape Flattery in Far North Queensland. My guest on the podcast this week, Theo Psaros, is the Executive Chairman of ASX-listed Metallica Minerals Ltd, who made the strategic decision a few years ago to focus soley on silica mining projects. That decision will bear fruit in the next 2-3 years, when they expect to export their first shipment. Theo explains it's a long and careful process. Apart from the obvious logistical concerns, Metallica have also gone to great lengths to build a strong and respectful relationship with the traditional custodians of the land upon which they are working. It's an episode worth playing close attention to, not just for Theo's interesting back story, which includes 10 years behind the scenes of professional rugby and motor sports, with the Queensland Rugby Union and Porsche Motor Sports, but also for Theo's number one tip for raising capital. That one tip alone could be worth millions to you. You're welcome!

Elizabeth ‘Libby'' Nankivell made history earlier this year when she was appointed Vice President of Queensland Rugby Union, becoming the first woman to hold the position in 139 years of the state's governing rugby body. In this podcast, the ‘self-confessed rugby tragic' talks to Claire Braund about her passion for the game, and how that has translated into a meaningful career on rugby boards. Libby acquired her love of the game from her late father and Darling Downs broccoli farmer Paddy O'Brien, who was a referee and referee coach who worked with Queensland Country Rugby, Queensland Rugby Referee Associations and Australian Rugby Union.  As a girl, she'd run round the ovals collecting cans and spend all day wandering around the rugby fields. By the time she started school Libby knew all the positions and rules of the game. Libby established Townsville women's Rugby Union at university, also winning a gold medal at the 1994 University Games – the first appearance of women's rugby at the event. She then followed in her father's footsteps by becoming a referee and winning the Women in Sport referee/umpire of the year in 1998. It was after attending a Women on Boards Women in Sport conference that Libby decided to start on her sport board journey. After applying for “a bunch of different sport boards” Libby got a gig with Australian Schools Rugby Union and was also on the Australian Schools Foundation Board. She was then offered the Vice President role and now co-chairs the board with Garrick Morgan. Libby says one of the biggest challenges for women in the boardroom, and on the field, is being accepted and respected. She says her refereeing experience is invaluable in the boardroom and has helped her develop a thick skin. Her dream role, she tells WOB, would be on a board with Rugby Australia and World Rugby. Certainly worth a try! LinkedIn: Libby Nankivell | Claire Braund (host) Further Information:  WOB membership, events & services, please visit our website.

Rugby’s biggest dance—the World Cup—is coming to Asia for the very first time. This September, Japan will host 19 of Rugby’s best national teams for the main event in the World Rugby calendar, and the pressure is on. After their famous victory against South Africa in 2015, Japan is poised for one of its most important sporting performances. Each new game they play will be the biggest game in Japanese rugby history. But how did we come to this moment? In this Monsoon Pod, host Patrick Cooney explores Japan’s rugby story. He offloads the discussion to Ken Dobson, a rugby sevens coach in Hokkaido, to talk about the progression of the game in Rugby’s so-called ‘newest’ market. Ken Dobson worked with Queensland Rugby Union and is now heading the men and women’s sevens program at the Hokkaido Barbarians in Japan.

It has been a massive week for Australian Rugby and what better place to take some time out and chat about it all than in our next Green and Gold Rugby Podcast. Before we get stuck into the current news, we kick off with another Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcast with an undoubted legend of Australian Rugby, and indeed the Rugby World Cup itself. He started his career as a rookie lock forward in his first season of test rugby by being a part of the 1991 RWC winning Wallabies. Eight years later he was now the captain of the Wallabies and would lead his team to their second World Cup win. As our first guest to appear in both RWC wins and here to talk about the Wallaby lock stocks, it is the one and only John Eales. Following on from our Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcast, we have another champion team (or perhaps a team of champions) in Steve, Dave and myself as we discuss all the latest from the last round of Super Rugby as well as Michael Cheika's first Wallaby squad. Once again we are thrilled to be supported by the Queensland Rugby Union and their upcoming event, the Reds Long Lunch. If you've enjoyed these podcasts and love listening to legends, then this will be a fantastic event for you to get along too. Go to redsrugby.com.au for more details.

Episode 178 of the Green and Gold Rugby Podcast, sees us continue in our highly popular Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcasts. Following hot on the heels of Simon Poidevin last week, this week we focus on the Number 8 position. When it came for looking for a guest for this episode, the choice was easy. How could you go past the great man, Toutai Kefu? Kefu who made his Wallaby debut during one of the lowest points in Australian Rugby but who would go on to feature in so many of our most significant moments. None moreso than that 1999 Rugby World Cup win. We talk to Toutai about the culture within that great Wallaby team, and the build up that culminated in their crowning as Rugby World Cup Champions. Oh and don't worry, we talk about his infamous dust-up with Trevor Brennan of Ireland, but the focus is definitely on his on-field exploits. Once we cover off on 1999, the focus shifts to 2015 and whether the Wallabies can replicate his own team's success and just who Toutai would pick as the Wallaby #8. These Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcasts with our Wallaby World Cup winning legends have proven to be a highly popular set of shows. This is based on our listeners' love of hearing from these former legends of the game about their own experiences, but also to gain their perspective on the current game.Well the Queensland Rugby Union have come on board as a sponsor of this podcast series as a way to promote their Reds Long Lunch which will happen on 16 July this year. With World Cup luminaries such as Ben Tune, David Campese and Bobby Skinstad all appearing, plus two of the best rugby brains ever in Sir Graham Henry and Bob Dwyer, this is sure to be a remarkable event. If you've loved the podcasts, then this event is right up your alley. Tickets can be purchased by going to www.redsrugby.com.au
