I'd still love to see some matches scheduled when there is no AFL or NRL on and we can have a free hit. I understand that makes it tough from a fixturing perspective, but Wednesday night for example would be awesome

Yes, I reckon. Care to elaborate on why you don't, or just dropping a shit response for the sake of it? :rolleyes:

Hanigan has been a whipping boy here in the past, but could come into contention as a lock this year potentially with options so thin. Great person from a culture perspective too

You wouldn't have Samu Kerevi starting for the Queensland Reds? That's hilarious

They have the smallest fan bases and attendances, so the least to lose from a revenue perspective. Also both produce less homegrown players than NSW and QLD

From a roster perspective, the Brumbies are certainly the benchmark. However, both them and the Rebels have the smallest fan bases and attendances, and therefore the least to lose by selling some home games. My theory is that World Rugby would cover the costs, and potentially chip in some extra...

So, besides Cowan & Frisby, other players not travelling are... Placid, Makara, Luke, Fou, O'Sullivan, Hardman, Harris, Tessmann, Grant, Pugh, Koteka..

Hard to disagree with much of this. I still have Valetini ahead of Wright, but only marginally, and you could certainly make the argument for the inclusion of Wilson on a 6-2 split bench. I also have Tom Wright and Muirhead ahead of Daugunu, but appreciate the differences he brings. I would...

Murray is not capped for Scotland. Has lived in Australia for more than 5 years, so in theory should be eligible, though he did have a loan deal with Edinburgh or Glasgow during RWC19

This. And either the Rebels or Brumbies to come up with a deal (with WR (World Rugby)) to play 2-3 games per year in Fiji and/or Samoa, and have access to 6-8 players from that country (already capped).

The constant challenge is that our clubs need a minimum of 8 home games to be commercially viable, if not 10, yet we have a maximum window of 22 weeks in which to really play any competition. Any premier competition occurring at the same time as Test footy, and as a result robbing us of our best...

Really looking forward to seeing if Jonno Lance can inject himself into this conversation too

This is exactly it. Nobody knows how to take this code to a new audience. FWIW, I would have liked to see some creative scheduling here - e.g. midweek fixtures when no other sport to compete with. I appreciate that is hard when there's only two matches per week, but having say a Tuesday &...

Great post. Agree completely. Have also heard 2 Japanese teams likely to join in 2022.

Saw him tagged with the Rebels boys on the golf course in Canberra

Wouldn't be surprised to see Moose Malouf straight into the Tahs 23

I still see this as an opportunity for Rebels or Brumbies to agree a deal to play some games in Fiji

That's quite clever, I'll pay that.

Righto champ

We hate the only broadcaster who has ever paid for live Super Rugby in Australia? And without whom the competition WOULD NOT EXIST?
