Good article on Rennie and the changes he, and other coaches, made in 2012.

Yeah, making the RC a 6 team comp would make the most sense. Fiji could be problematic in terms of facilities, access to players and logistics, but need to be involved so they can get a financial reward for the exceptional players they produce. I also think a rule where the top 12 teams in the...

I think the GC and Sunny Coast are great spots for trial games. A bit close to Suncorp for a proper season game, especially with corporate responsibilities. I'd love to see a game in Townsville, at the new stadium late in Super rugby.

Angus Crichton impresses me more and more. A good little video here https://www.athletesvoice.com.au/angus-crichton-the-history-we-should-all-celebrate/#tfFjS0bysWrZETXS.97

According to one news source he's going to be very busy. https://www.betootaadvocate.com/sports/latrell-to-play-over-100-games-in-2020-as-nine-reports-hes-signed-with-5-different-nrl-clubs/ He's actually still contracted to the Roosters for 2020 so all this talk is for 2021. If he signs with...

I was so very wrong. I really enjoyed the game and the attitude from the South African players. The next few years should be great for them with the Lions visiting their shores in 2021.

He was big at the U15's State Champs but no where near 170kg. Maybe 120kg which is big for that age.

My concern would be how the dressing room would take that. If someone said they didn't want the Wallaby job because they were waiting for the NZ job I'd say thanks but no thanks. The players would want someone who wants to be here, not because it's their second choice.

I think Rugby Australia need to take the bull by the horns here. Announce the coach before Christmas, even if NZ haven't announced theirs. We want someone who wants to be Wallaby coach, not the guy that missed out on NZ.

They'll have to if Japan lock Joseph in.

I think Rodda and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) will be the locks for the start of 2020, Hockings and Blyth will get plenty of opportunities off the bench, through injuries and on the back of form. I am hopeful of a lot of rotation in the back row so that we build depth and experience across the squad. Who knows what...

Less of it by people in the crowds, the same amount for the guys on the field. Actually, I'm not that phased. It's their culture, they can do it when they want.

Bledisloe could be a one off match each year like the Calcutta Cup between England and Scotland. I do agree it needs more games but a 5 game RC and 2 extra Bledisloe games may make for a crowded calendar.

My only concern is that almost every other player had more chances than he did. I would have liked to see him start in a game and see how he goes.

It would freshen up the tournament. I guess the teams would play each other once like the 6 Nations. The main issue will be the quality of Japan and if Fiji can get their players back for it.

Spencer is the Saracens halfback. He's played 3 time for England.

They wanted Townsend to take over, he was the prodigal son who was going to take them to glory.

I think that England will have the better in this one, I've just watch their YouTube show Rising Sons so I'm in full Eddie fanboy mode. England have the ability to change things up. The way they started against NZ was very clever. They hit the ball up for the first minute and then started...

Has Jones though? He played 3 tests this year off the bench when he had no real chance to have an impact. When compared to others he's had the least opportunity, some by his own doing by moving to France.
