Ofcourse... any fan is more interested in watching their team if they are competitive.

A tier 2 nation scoring against ABs, worth celebrating.

You been saving that one?

Ahh the proper long game. The under dog in their own world cup. A real Bradbury experience. Really pulling at the heartstrings of all Australians! Maybe RA have outsmarted all of us.

Probably so we havent had 7 captains in 8 games

Leali'ifano holds that Samoan team together, he is still sharp for a 36yr old. Lemeki also another "old bloke" at 34 had a great impact for Japan! Great to see these geriatrics still getting a run

Similar issue was had with the NRC tho, no one really cared cause they wernt known clubs. Its fine to properly start from scratch with all new clubs if you are happy to run at a complete loss for a long time until you build a fan base..

You rename them the Brisbane Reds, problem solved. Tbh im not sold on the idea of Country teams, although I could see it working in NSW based out of Newy or even Orange. Just not sure where else you could base a team.

I mean i don't really understand the benefits of losing to the kiwi teams each week, but if you have to honour the current system, sure a SuperAU comp with non-international would be good after the Super season. Not sure how you go with filling the country teams for that shorter season.

The highest scoring Aussie will be Mack Hansen

You can lead a horse to water...

is he also cousins with Pone?

I don't understand any benefits to adding the Jaguares or Sunwolves back in

Its the Brumbies style cause currently they are the only super rugby team doing it.

Yeah I enjoy watching them play, high percentage play rugby is what wins games.

Didn't you just describe the Brumbies "style"

Few games that look like they will be worth watching Japan v Samoa should be a close one Will be good to see Italy get another win this week to secure their place as number 2 in the pool. Argentina v Chile should be spicy at the very least. Hope to see Fiji continue their run and build towards...

I like the idea of a domestic comp. We need to improve rugby as a product to gain any traction among the public. Watching our Super Rugby teams get beaten by the kiwis all season is pretty rubbish. The Brums are the only competitive team yet still no one shows up to watch them. We need to get...

What are peoples thoughts on the selections at 10 for the world cup? Havent heard much chat around it.
