Italy beat us. The Italy side Chile played featured a number of the same players that we faced. Chile were missing a few of their regular starters due to 'injury' while playing for their clubs. While we should win that game comfortably we have shown that we are very capable of making it...

Mate, Chile played a fairly decent Italy team featuring a number of their best players pretty close. While understrength. If we play poorly they could jag that win.

Romania aren't what they once were. Georgia will win that one handily.

Perhaps it could include womens teams in Super W?

For the first two editions.

Spain and Chile both put in respectable showings over the weekend. Spain going down to Fiji 33-41 and Chile losingvto Italy 34-19.

At this point they need to win the Bledisloe to get long suffering fans back.

Could go to 14 and only add one more round. Play four games in July and another four in November.

I suspect they'll either make it for the invitational teams or they'll look to expand the 1st Div to 16 teams and have the bottom two up for relegation.

Qatar offered £800m to host the first 4 finals. Caused a whole lot of reaction from fans and pundits.

Dubai.

There's the sponsorship rights of £80m ($162m). We're up for 10% of that over the first editions. Apparently there's also revenue sharing or there was revenue sharing on the table. So you're probably pretty close.

Sports in the States have a history of teams coming and going sometimes in large numbers. Bit its not great to see. What I do know is that NE, DC and the Hounds ownership are well heeled and committed. Seattle are committed as are the Legion.

Which will be needed as I suspect it will feature a lot of T2 players. Which you know. Good for them.

No. They had done their checks and as farvas they were aware were all good. Only for it to turn out that the player and his clun to have doctored documentation. They probably shouldn't have taken them on face value.
