I might be wrong about this but my understanding of the new eligibility rules is that if you are based overseas and you have signed a contract to return to Super Rugby the following year, you are automatically eligible. So if Jones signed for the 2017-2018 season overseas then in 2018 he...

I think people are hyping them up a bit too much. They're a good side on paper, and they'll probably have the best debut year in the history of Super Rugby, but I cant see them being serious contenders in this competition in their first year. I'll predict a preliminary finals exit.

The loss of Luke Jones is bit of a bummer. I had thought Cheika might have plans to develop him as the next Fardy but i guess not. I would have thought that I guy like Jones would at least confer with the national coach about his decision. Still I suppose there is still plenty of opportunity...

Comments from Bernie on the news suggest that Poey wants time off to refresh to ensure that he makes it to the next world cup. If that's the truth, I'm more than comfortable with him taking the year off. It should theoretically help him extend his career. It'll be interesting to see how we...

Sorry when is this game on?

Not really a glass half full type guy are you

I actually really like the look of the Force at Full Strength. Alas i expect they're going to struggle if they sustain injuries in nearly any position (save for backrow)

Did Hanigan get picked up by any Super team this season?

I'm surprised some of you are already trying to pick the June Test series squad before any rugby has even been played. Let’s at least wait for the first round of Super rugby before we start talking about likely squad selections. In terms of the bigger picture issues, it’ll be interesting to...

Also, is there a specific thread dedicated to the Aussie Super teams (collectively) or should I just plonk this comment here. I'm interested to read people's thoughts on how each of the Aussie squads are shaping up.

Not sure how I feel about the new bonus point system, but I'm happy to see how things play out. Also I noticed that the official Super rugby site is still branded "Super XV". Those site editors are really on the ball.

Loving the new deal for AUS rugby. We still have a lot of work to do to compete with the likes of league and AFL, but it looks like we at least wont have to spend the next 4 years worrying about financial ruin. My gut says the new conference system will be a winner for us too. less games in...

I don't mind the idea of an 8am Sunday game of FTA. It's a step in the right direction. It's 100 times better than what we had this year; a crappy recap show buried at about 11pm on a Monday or Tuesday night. At least a Sunday morning game is potentially a replay of a Saturday night game, so the...

My on a bit of a break from GAGR during the off season but just wanted to come on and add my 2 cents to this revelation. The big plus from an Australian point of view has to be the added interest this will create around the june series next year. Im really bouyed that we are going to see a...

I like that this thread is still rolling. Thank god for the cricket to take the edge off

Yeh that group only has something like 480 members. You apparently need to get a license to operate a forklift before you can sign up.

I see everyone is still talking about the SBW incident. My view in a nutshell: Classy move from SBW, but that kid looks like a little douche bag.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Mitchell were great during the world cup, and yes they have the kicking game our other wingers don't, but our other wingers all have their unique strengths. As good as Mitchell has been at the world cup, the truth is that Horne was Cheika's first choice and would have played nearly every...

Sorry. you're right. they're shit

We haven't seen the last of Kepu in a Wallabies jersey. I'd bet my house on it.
