A statement came out from the heads of major community sporting organisations (rugby, nrl, netball etc) saying community sport will go ahead after they met with Dr Chant and the department of health. Interestingly they set out the guidelines under which they would proceed (eg: maximum of one...

Shore are doing the same.

That is potentially a consequence of GPS and CAS rugby stopping and club rugby continuing. It will definitely be better than no rugby at all. I know of a few very good 1st XV school players training with Gordon Colts recently - we might see an influx if the status quo remains.

I think we might see club rugby and other club sports cancelled very shortly as well. I just received a communication that the SJRU are about to update clubs on whether junior club rugby will go ahead and a number of gala days got cancelled this afternoon based on the NSW Chief Health Officers...

Yep. Guys like Campese, Kafer, Lynagh and Pat Howard all spent time in the UK or Italy collecting their Euro/Pound pensions pre-retirement. FitzSimons was the first foreign player to ever play for Brive and spent his time writing a pretty s**t book about it.

Just received correspondence from the school - "all AAGPS 2020 winter sport competitions and fixtures will be suspended effective immediately". Well that suddenly frees up my Saturdays. Edit: http://aagps.nsw.edu.au/aagps-sports-updated-18-august-2020/

I like option 1 because it engages more of the country directly. The opportunity for Perth & Melbourne teams to bencmark themselves against Syd/BNE teams would be pretty enticing for those comps and add some relevance as well. And whilst you will get upset results, that is the beauty of it of...

I recommend you email info@cluch.tv if you have an issue. I have done a number of times and they have been really responsive. Clearly there are still teething problems.

Malcolm Knox has had a few really uninformed digs at rugby in the last year or so to the extent Ive stopped taking him seriously. Some of his articles are written in a way where I am sometimes not sure if it is parody. Obviously there is a fair bit to be played out with regards how a TV...

Tate McDermott’s defence was outstanding.

If that’s the case why is Kalokalo still playing for Scots given he got a contract from Soufs last week?

Shame to see the Force not pick Agnus Wagner for this game. I thought he went really well against QLD a few weeks ago packing against Tupou and good mobility around the field. Love seeing a new young prop get a crack.

Here you go, an article which directly quotes Mark Robinson: https://www.nzrugby.co.nz/news-and-events/latest-news/new-competition-future-feature-of-aratipu-report/ (Used a NZ source for you too) Some quotes: When talking about the Aritipu report: "NZR Chief Executive Mark Robinson said the...

Ever heard of the Aratipu report commissioned by NZ rugby? You know, the one that had a preferred model of 8 teams with two from Australia and one from the pacific? Go look it up.

A draft system from Shute Shield and club colts could add to the attractiveness of those comps.

No. I think the point of the thread is to look forwards and discuss the best option for the future - acknowledge the past but dont be a slave to it. Which is what we are now doing. Hence the title "Where to for Super Rugby?" NZ Rugby, and the thread of last night NZ rugby show, was along...

I watched the NZ Rugby show last night and it seems they are obsessed with looking backwards. Jeff Wilson spoke to a somewhat redundant graphic that showed how unsuccessful Australian teams have been and made that the centrepiece of the discussion with Kafer. Why not look forward and propose...

At the moment the RA site defines the State of the Union game being between NSW and QLD which means that WA/VIC/ACT players would be excluded. I dont think the SoU game would be an effective wallaby trial given how many good players are coming out of those states right now. Unless Im missing...

Correct. Mark Philp was at Shore for 2 years before Grammar. Did a really good job turning one team around in particular. Kids really enjoyed his coaching. The try that Grammar scored just before half time against Scots was a cracker and showed really good game awareness. Good coaching based on...

Great initiative. Would have preferred to see Fiji over SA teams but not a bad concept nonetheless.
