On the eve of the Sydney Sevens, Australian Rugby and the Sevens program have received a boost with World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year Charlotte Caslick re-signing until the end of 2026. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/charlotte-caslick-resigns-with-sevens-2023123 Sevens superstars Maddison...

I'd always hoped it was a simple character test, easy or hard option. Unfortunately - even in women's rugby where 7s has been a more compelling pathway for so long - the $ talks.

Outstanding result for the Brumbies

I'd rather focus on this. He seems something special, on and off the field. Could be a 5+ year Captain

I'd only jsut back in the currently employed pathways coaches. The Junior Wallabies program has been pretty good in recent years. Give the likes of Grey and Gilmore the chance to run the program and then have some key Super Rugby specialists in as Assistant Coaches to support them. The...

Like the experience in the group. Number of caps seems quite high.

The Marketing Pidgeon liked your post, so it is being discussed in the annals of Moore Park, surely!

We could, they could, but we won't and they won't

Real Harbajahan Singh vibes to this one.

Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed the battle.

You're spot on. That's why for most Rugby fans, the QF was gutting. And undoubtedly for Irish Rugby, used to post-RWC 'wha went wrong' reviews but in this instance your QF was almost worhty of a final

Don't reckon this is overly fair. How many Vics at the RWC? Valetini, Leota, Uelese, Pone, Tuipulotu, even the Romanian 10. Non-traditional states won't ever be consistent with huge stocks YOY but there's enough evidence of talent coming out of Vic in recent years to be extremely encouraged...

You're both right, to be fair. But right now we need all the help we can get - and a bidding war* is a positive. *not really a bidding war if both offers are shit.

The game is less relevant than it has ever been...

The biggest thing is number of professional games played, not the opponent. Build combinations and get lived experience.

Shit take from a (usually) great poster. Rugby is crying out for the $$$. Moving to somebody who only finessed the rusted on's has done nothing for the sport. Highest bidder is best outcome for the game. And Christy's just doing his job.

This triggers me. Can we pls go with 'I agree with the Ghost Of'...

As much as the spotlight is on (a) Eddie for his team selection, Japanese interview and the disrespectful way he's spoken in the media, (b) Hamish for his 'Captain's pick' and (c) the players for their performance, how about: (D) Everybody attached to the high-performance decision making and $...

If you couldn't run the competition I want (extended Super Rugby season with open borders), maybe you go straight into Super AU in June after Super Rugby pacific finishes (adding in those extra teams?)

Correct, and that can't be fabricated. It would need to build organically. If you had a competition generating enough revenue to keep Koroibete, Skelton, Kerevi, Arnold x 2, McMahon, Maddocks, Banks etc - and then retaining Mo'unga, Barrett, Retallick etc - and they were spread throughout all...
