Yep - the link between the Hawaiian team in GRR, and Pichot's presence on the Board of Directors for both US Rugby and FMG makes me think a two-conference GRR, based in different hemispheres and merging GRR + MLR, is a potential end goal.

I can't believe that people are genuinely talking about a bigoted man who takes potshots in a poorly constructed once a week, his first involvement in Rugby for over a decade bar coaching the Barbarians for two games last year (when all the players ignored his directions not to have beers while...

He appears to be playing in Japan now, according to his IG

Love to see Rob Leota have a big season. Has been unlucky with injuries. Also think Pone Fa'amausili will surprise some.

I heard Magnay had fractured his leg, or something similar...

https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2017/09/14/waratahs-hegarty-re-signing Until the end of 2019? Always had flexi-deal with Japan in there. Unless you know something more?

Bryce Hegarty would be a perfect fit if the 'Tahs would release him.

I'm genuinely concerned that Fiji will beat us at RWC

Morgan Turinui, who I count as one of the best Rugby brains in the country, and a former Wallaby centre himself, reckons Samu is a far more effective 12 than 13. His catch pass has improved markedly over the last couple of years, recent handling errors aside.

Wow, that's truly great value. Don't really know why anybody would bother to keep Foxtel, in the era of Netflix and all.

Does Kayo bring Fox Sports News or any of the Fox Sports shows?

FWIW, I would keep Cheika until the RWC unless there is an outstanding option ready to come in. I would not keep Raiwalui, Grey or Larkham, however.

Agree 100% on this, to be honest. Only disclaimer is that I think we have 0 chance of Schmidt - he's either coaching the All Blacks or Ireland, I would have thought. But outside that, excellent suggestions. I also wonder whether to sort the current mess out a little, Alan Gaffney could come...

If you look at realistic options, I think Rennie, Gatland, Robertson + Cotter are close to the head of the queue. Obviously depending on what happens with AB, Ireland, Wales, England. I'd love to look at Rob Baxter as well.

Interesting that Tuisue played a season with the Rams. I don't remember whether he had an impact or not, does anybody else? https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2017/10/06/nrc-rams-drua-tuisue

RSA should win, I would have thought. Backrow alone is 3 x better than ENG

Wynne Gray is awful. Wrote a Fox Sports column for 6 months or so in the last couple of years, was genuine dribble

There can't be many who missed out on the 87 who have genuine aspirations of being picked now. 87?!?!?!

I heard the Chiefs. Another one lost/mismanaged.

What competitions would be running concurrently - just France & England? If we were looking at keeping potential replacements match-fit, would the NRC be the best option as opposed to 2015 when guys were placed in France? My first reserve for each position would be: Props: Jermaine Ainsley...
