    Rebels v Lions RD 11, Sat 6th May @3pm

    Despite all the well placed criticism of the timeslot, I have decided to take the chance to get my only just two year old daughter along to her first super rugby match. Theory is that I will have to leave after about an hour, meaning the Rebels will win a cracking match whilst I'm on a team back...

    I thought WA's super franchise vote sat with the ARU. My read on getting to 75% was you need everyone except NSW or QLD, or everyone bar NT/SA/Tas/ARU(Force), or everyone bar ACT. If their is a coup, the non-Super Rugby unions don't have to worry about backing the current board as long as the numbers are...

    Paris 7s - 13 and 14 May

    Read somewhere yesterday, I think in the Australian, there are a few contracts that are signed but still need an ARU endorsement to finalise them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Western Force v Lions - Rnd 10

    How do you assess national footprint. 80% of the population are in the eastern states. Remove a team from any one of those other than the ACT and you would be reducing the % coverage further. If you moved the Waratahs (who are surrounded by the greatest number of other franchises) to Adelaide or...

    Waratahs v Blues - Round 11, Saturday 6 May, Allianz Stadium

    They pull this rubbish every year. They were whinging about AFL not handing over Etihad last year. The AFL had a match on that had been fixtured for about four months, and soccer just expected them to step aside for their GF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pretty easy to say when your team isn't on the block. You may not think you're trolling, but you are inflaming serious tension that is being kept (mostly) just below the surface at this point, and your comment definitely didn't add anything to the debate. Look at it another way - if the Blues...

    Rebels 2017

    Despite our season we are a game and a half off second in our conference with a game in hand. If we sacked TT tomorrow the resultant bounce could see us gunning for a finals spot. We are terrible this year, but our conference is not much better. Our best 22 can take anyone in our conference, but...

    How are the licences set up for the Brumbies, Reds and Tahs? Are there contracts in place guaranteeing them participation? On Cox, I think he is smart enough to know he was never going to make money out of a rugby team, despite public assertions to the contrary. I think he has also been smart...

    Part of the current cluster fuck's history is the Saffers demanding guaranteed finals spots x2. They're not going to drop those to pull us out of the shit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That's cause we are so immensely superior to those who went to non-selective entry high schools. Seriously though, I think you mean Melbourne Grammar. In my experience it has always been something the APS guys do. The fact I know they are APS guys is my reasoning for believing that. Sent from...

    Will the government hand him the ground signage rights at NIB, or can they? I assume the soccer team plays there too and may have existing contracts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It has an impact on the level of discussion. Rule changes happen every year and the fans know changes are possible. It is just something else to feed the sporting media. It also feeds their out of season cycle as that's when the decisions tend to be made. I am talking about the AFL here. Don't...

    I thought it was more of an up yours. They haven't felt the need to do it for a year and a half and then suddenly the ARU come to town licence hunting and we fill the front of our jerseys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Round 8 - Rebels vs Brumbies, Saturday 7:45pm

    Given our run of injuries this year, the difference in approach of team drills for the teams was interesting. Was at the south end, so obviously means I was watching Brums first half, Rebs second. The Brumbies guys just seemed to be doing a hell of a lot more. The Rebels guys came down bit by...

    I imagine it is a position they may give up for a guarantee of survival. On the other point, both parties are contracted to play, just have taken different routes on how they deal with that legally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nicely done. I am assuming this was issued to the ARU on Wednesday following Bill's visit and the deadline is today or tomorrow and this was released to increase pressure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
