Where have you come to this understanding if I may ask? I'm happy for it to happen of course. An essentially professional series. Would like for RA to provide both the Sydney and Brisbane clubs to run their own team in this as well as a means of providing more access and opportunity.

Ha. So the head of Rugby Europe is Romanian. The same bloke who approved the very dubious refereeing situation last time round. Where Romanians officiated a crucial game between Spain and Belgium. Where there were a significant number of extremely dubious calls against Spain which cost them no...

I've had discussions with people around the exclusion of Russia from the world scene. They while agreeing what's happening in Ukraine is wrong seem to think the point of 'what about the innocent Russian people?' merits consideration. My response has been this far that is not a touch of the grief...

Yeah. That's not happening now. The win will likely be awarded to the Black Lions so will the rest of their REC games.

Depends on the nation. Georgia has a mixture of players from their national league the Didi 10, the newly established Black Lions from the RE Super Cup and Currie Cup and usually for REC their pro's from the ProD2/Federale 1 levels. Romania has an almost entirely Romanian Rugby SupaLiga based...

I like the idea of it. Especially if it has it's own touring schedule. Would love to see it returned and then do tours of Sth America and the REC nations etc. I think for younger blokes that would provide them with not only interesting tours but surprisingly decent games. It should be brought...

Easily the best in the time I've been following it. Yes, the Dutch have had a rough go of it but they have a generation of really good players emerging and will learn a lot from this experience. The REC is apparently expanding to 8 teams from next season. Not officially confirmed but heavily...

Spain are one game away from returning to the RWC for the first time since 1999. This comes after they put in an excellent first 60 minutes in Madrid against Romania to build a 38-7 lead before Romania managed a valiant later mini-comeback to finish the game 38-21. Another very entertaining...

Wouldn't actually mind if they did do something like that in the Shute Shield.

I'm not suggesting that he should be given a Wallabies jersey off these performances. But he is showing good early signs. Give him more time and minutes and he may be a good loose forward prospect going forward.

Pasitoa has been very good so far this season as well.

I do like Wells honesty.

More explosive than Skelton. If he ever ends up at a team that knows how to use him he'll be even more impressive. Another cameo where he played to his size. That run near the end showed real aggression going into contact. Something you like to see in a big body.

Yeah. Thinking back to my days at Randwick the 4th grade were usually all the younger blokes in the squad. And they often had seasons were not all of the clubs ran 4 Colts grades deep. Would have been better for many of them to have got full seasons at subbies level before coming across to Grade...

Wouldn't go that far but it was uncontested and he underthrew it which made taking it for the jumpers at thigh level very difficult.

Horton butchered that one.

Still one too many in my opinion. One game with winner takes all would be my preference.

Going from the article that listed the highest paid players in the world I'd suggest Japan will rapidly overtake both of them.

Seeing the result of the Gen Blue U20s against Southern Districts last weekend we could at least go part of the way to solving this by entering an U20s squad in each of the respective Club 1st grade comps. Someone also mentioned that sometimes this year the 5 Aus and they assumed the Drua will...

Lol. He looks 35. Which he's happy with as growing up most people picked him as the older sibling.
