maybe, but i'd be surprised this early on. pyle when at his best last year was close to wallaby contention and if he returns to that form again in the next 500 days, he'd have to get in the squad. douglas is there already so i don't fully understand. i think there is an element of them...

barnes is a natural attacker of the ball. i think the kicking was borne out of frustration with a lack of game plan and options. he loves to run the ball. i see him as similar to woodward in the sense that woodward kicks too often, especially since his natural inclination is to run, but the...

In Barnes we trust

Strange call to depart. You'd think he would wait around till next season or two to see if he got picked in the wobs. Year before a World Cup is odd. I get the year after. As I said before I guess he and Pyle figure they come back at 26-27 and have four years in the wallabies. On one hand leave...

the money in italy is not superb. i think the decisions is pumas players have to play super rugby. otherwise the super rugby team in BA is the pumas is it not? and i don't think that is the case. i suspect we will see an allowance for japanese and argentinian players across super rugby. not...

or how about how good canada is becoming at 7s and how excited i am to see moonlight play 7 for our XV team alongside the likes of taylor paris, hirayama and connor trainor in the backline. as well as mack getting a go behind our pack.

they would say that tho regardless. negotiation position and all.

am i right in breaking the league tv deal down as such $1bn a year for 5 years = $200M per annum with 16 teams it equates to $12.5m per team per year. does this include all ARL games (i.e kiwi v aus games?)\ if so, then when you break down a potential ARU deal, the numbers aren't that different...

isn't the arg team based out of argentina?? north america is better off tying itself to japan and the islands via a west coast com (B.C, Alberta, Wa, Oregon, Cali, Colorado, Utah with 8 japan teams)

i am guessing that's top two from SA and NZ and then either the 5th ranked team (surely can't do that given they will play totally different teams) or a playoff between 3 and 3 in each conference to get into the finals (would be a great idea to have a wild card game)

Nz herald reporting unlikely that other franchise wil Be Asian due to One off travel there and that more likely to be an African franchise. Fairly ridiculous. Can't see developing counties pulling the big bucks

Best is still two conferences SA 6, Argentina, Asia and force Rest of Aus and nz. Play each conference team twice in home and away and then cup and plate finals with conference cross over SA get nz/Aus games and less travel with one three week road trip. Cry the force but I don't think it's a...

I think they will and should Go for an 8 team finals but it is unfair if South Africa essentially has a guaranteed final spot while nz and Aus duke it out for the other. Top two from each conference and nz 1 v Sa a 2, nz 2 v SA a 1, Aus 1 v SA b 2, Aus 2 v SA B 1 Has to be a cross over in my...

Zero chance AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) misses out

Guy at the rebels coaching staff. Said that's the only issue with recruiting Him. To get him you need another 10

Post World Cup there will be significant competition for spots in France from Aus kiwi bok and six nations teams to say nothing of the pacific islands. After re-signing current foreign players I'd be surprised if there was more than two spots available per top 14 team which doesn't mean we're...

I think it is one of the players in the picture posted in the fees and if it's either Hegarty or Ellison. I would love it of we signed Barnes. He is a fantastic player. The issue with lilo is that he wants to be a 12 not a ten We could have Barnes to lilo to Inman tho and I would not complain...

I also think locks are in contention. Horwill play game one against France but given the uncertainty around if he is the best option in the second row it's hard to see him being captain. I think it will be and should be hooper. Also think there is going to be a fight for the bench props. Good...

Sio Moore Slipper Horwill (I don't think link will bench him) Simmons Fardy Hooper Higgers Genia Cooper Tomane To'omua Kurindrani AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Folau Kepu Tpn Don't know enough about props to call this! Jones Palu White Beale Badger Don't think we will see much controversy and I think mccalman will get...

I agree badge is awesome but AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and tomane offer a bit more. Badge would be great with 20 minutes left running hard at a tired winger and making him work his ass off just to keep up
