why are you talking about etihad in this thread? i really struggle to see how the ARU is going to manage the players post RWC without sabbaticals. i just don't see it happening at all. the french are happy it seems to cede power to the clubs and go the route of english football. barring more...

neither pritchard or dth were really sevens players. they might have played a couple tournaments maximum over the course of a year or two but from memory this was way back in 2006-2008 (pre crowley and john in their full capacities) we have a few great backs who have a definitie preference for...

highlights from the canada game on irb.com website under videos. the third try by canada is beautiful

And I agree. Scotland is woeful. The game would be better served by more NZ Maori matches or an England Saxons team.

There has been a positive divergence the past 3-4 years in our favour and I have no doubt that is due to a) Kieran Crowley b) geraint John c) the two of them working so well together and d) better funding and the rugby centre in Langford. All of our backs bar DTH, Pritchard and I think the new...

see how the crowd goes. no competing afl games in town sat night and none of quality at all on anywhere. if marketed right, with the media build up they should pull in 30+ much more affordable than the sydney and brisbane tests.

sorry why was that a yellow? i just saw the highlights and don't quite understand why yarde was carded for that....

Didn't see the Canada game but disappointing result. Believe it or not 6,800 sold out at suburban swan guard is a good result for van, the heart of Canadian rugby. Not a great stadium for rugby. Vancouver crowds are fairly pathetic in general so this is actually a good result. I think they got...

Ya I am a bit over all Friday night games. This was the first year I missed more than one game and I only made it to three. I don't mind the losses providing we have a crack and attack. I think we were more competitive this year but by and large the attacking flair left. Melbourne and Sydney...

Alofa aloha to La Rochelle next year

and agree. cut out the cooking segment...(trying to appeal to female fans i assume?) and instead do a more detailed analysis of the french opposition. we don't need two maloney segments in a show. show us some more highlights and analysis of the french team run through the england v all blacks...

it was a bit annoying how little they got cooper involved for actual analysis.

that is goods news if true and sharing resources in terms of marketing, back office etc would be huge. not to mention the benefit of possibly sharing facilities in terms of training etc. melbourne city FC who have somehow signed david villa for a ten match stint. incredible. as will the NRC be...

also absent a better broadcasting deal (in the $40-$60M range, and hopefully closer to the $50-$60 mark than the $40) i think the ARU will struggle to retain players and have to look very hard at sabatticals to offload some costs or actually fold a team as they won't have the ability to fund all...

both inman and english are signed through the 2015 season (inman definitely and english quite sure). I would be surprised about english, though to be honest the lack of attack has not seen a great deal of ball get out to the wing. i know for a fact inman was weighing up offers from japan and...

Fickou and fofana are fantastic to watch. Problem is Freddie. He is not The player he once was and I think he will struggle against the inside backs and back row. Too bad about the projected crowd.

just dont understand who you would have in? Horwill whilst not in the best form was the captain and has ample experience which i think you need on the bench when you have one lock making his debut. i think jones will get on in the second or third test as link either benches horwill or rests...

wrong game, but going by online there are not a lot of tickets left for the match in melbourne. few thousand at best.

What does had enough mean? By all accounts the vast majority of the squad is very happy with the club and systems in place now.

I think euro rugby is worse than super rugby and I am from the north. There is a reason why Aus SA and NZ are consistently better than all teams in the north. The players are better. In SA and Aus this would on average be 2 XV from each country that would either bear or go the distance against...
