In all seriousness there is no reason whatsoever to move the Brumbies from Canberra, but the Western Sydney comment by goosestep is pertinent. As long as the stadium is fixed up.... their catchment already extends to Wollongong so why not extend that up the M5/M7 to include the include the...

Yes - the actual tier 1 countries are the four in the RC and the six in the 6N plus Japan (presumably due to financial clout). We would have to spend a while down here and get dumped by WR (World Rugby) as a voting nation to officially become a tier 2 nation. It actually has little to do with anyone's test...

Jorgensen has definite Matt Burke type potential.

Fair enough, just some bad wording on my behalf. I was referring to the Force.

Koroibete retiring from test rugby after RWC.

As someone points out above the reporting was pretty shoddy - first the amount was wrong and now it seems the approach came from their side anyway. RA obviously then got Twiggy on board.

It seems his manager was trying to play RA and it went down like a lead balloon. I don't think we've heard the end of it but yes going overseas is a distinct possibility. What club is Jack Maddocks at?

My read on it is that Waugh kind of has to say that at the moment because they haven't done the formal review yet.

I agree but I guess we don't know as it's the players who vote on it, they often see things differently. He's a shoe in for the GAGR POTY though.

I actually don't think we will see Marika in gold again either. Not that he's been bad but he takes up an overseas spot and I think they will call time on him. Possibly one of the reasons Vunivalu was persisted with.

This is kind of what I was alluding to as being the solution the other day. Rather than creating a third tier, create a professional u23s comp with say 12 teams, which are feeder clubs to the Super franchises. Target an audience of the same age group (much like college footy in the USA) and...

I think there is a happy medium. Eddies main gripe was that the Portugal maul (non) try was clearly knocked on so why did we have to watch multiple replays when the first one showed it so obviously. In fairness the TMO only came into the game in the instances it should be used - lead ups to...

Eddie gave a pretty good speech about this in the presser, about how the TMO has too much influence, etc, needs to go back to the ref being the sole adjudicator.

Eddie was again evasive about his future in the presser. That could be because it’s not up to him though.

Your point being?

We don’t need to beat NRL and AFL. we need to coexist with them. They are domestic products, rugby is an international product and to be competitive we need to attract the best athletes. If the best player from each NRL and AFL team had never gone to those sports and played rugby from the...

Faessler was offside in a maul and then 2 minutes later Kerevi got one the same as 4 years ago v Fiji where he got booked for fending a tackler with his elbow.

Yes, do that next year and come across in ‘25

Nicola apparently asked Hamish the other day in France if there was a way she could help out.....hopefully he’s on the blower to her right now.
