After the Super Rugby squads take the cream who is left? Who's going to fund those teams S&C, analytics, physio as well as coaches etc. Using Super Rugby clubs as the base the infistructure and personnel are there and you are just adding players

That sounds a hell of a lot like a comp called the NRC. You could rather than an A comp run an 8 team comp with each super club responsible for two Force - Perth/Melb ACT - Canberra/country NSW NSW - 2 X Sydney QLD - city/country 7 rounds + 2 weeks finals

AFL and Basketball is where they are at in WA. The islander boys are running around in Union and League - but we just don't have as many over here

Its probably better than putting their new clubs. It is repeating of a pattern. I remember a RA post that listed the best and fairest of the other four clubs with nothing about the Rebels. They are gone and not coming back, but it does feel a bit rough to make it appear that they haven't...

Looking at the squad announcements this year using junior clubs. The cynic in me thinks this is solely so RA dont have to put the Rebels on anything

Potentially hit the local comp more than the Force. I think we are at the rusted on crew coming regularly to the Force games so the League is probably not going to pull too many of those away. Long term the floaters may move between the two clubs depending on success or otherwise of the teams.

The biggest talking point is the West is likely to be demoted to Division B for next year (if we still have this structure), having won the comp in 2022. The recession is hitting some WA clubs (though not Paly yet ;))

UWA was supposed to be in Division A but was dropped out partly due to what @ForceFan said but also because of "irregularities" in the team sheets of the 2s and 3s last year. I think, as a club, there have been issues for a few years with 1s being in the top two or three, but both 2s and 3s...

If only the finals were that simple. B1 and B2 play each other and the winner plays the semi against A1 A3 plays A4 with the winner to play A2 in the Semi. And if you though that was complicated Here it is with the promotion and relegation highlighted. Reserves and Thrids are even...

Not sure how you can be offside after driving through the ruck

So semifinals consist of the following teams from this year's series Aus 4th Fra 5th Fij 6th RSA 7th with 1 Arg, 2 IRE, and 3 NZL all losing in the quarters. The other quarter-finalist was the 9th placed USA. Going back to the most recent tournament from Madrid you have left 1 FRA 3 FIJ 6...

Most readers of this thread would be more than happy for the Tahs to prove you wrong.

There are quarter-finals, so it's likely the same as the SVNS series. Top two plus the best two third-place teams. In the men's comp there is a whole day between the quarters and semis which is a bit different to normal

Lowrens was playing club rugby in Perth on Saturday

Rugby Australia can move quickly at times. This was the second last screen of a survey I just completed that came out from Rugby Australia

I think the problem with the sevens is it doesn't work well for free to air. Rugby fans have Stan and will watch there and they way they have cut it can pick any game to watch. Ideally you could run the 6 Aussie pool games in a block on replay on Sundays but that is already around 2 hours and...
