Fantastic to see the Tahs reclaim young Vic hooker JP Sauni from the grasps of the darkness.

Where does humility come into it? For the first time I can recall in Australian Rugby, a domestic side is acting like a self preserving professional outfit rather than a boys club: the squad we've assembled and the actions around player release are a result of that, and hell yeah I'm going to...

Apart from the Force in other derbies, I've never "supported" a non Rebels Australian team before the playoffs.

Putting aside the rife speculation and salt. This is not greediness. This is intelligence. Unless the ARU specifically tells the Rebels to release a player there is no benefit to releasing a contracted player to strengthen a direct rival for nothing except for cash relief, particularly if the...

Not relevant, but always find it funny that SA is short for South Africa rather South Australia on this site despite being an Australian Rugby site. I know the reasons (the lack of any significant Rugby presence) but nonetheless it amuses me. Cheetahs rool, kings drool. SA in Pro14 in a nutshell.

The big one (that I'm still salty over at lest) is one Mr Foley, for whom Chieka obtained a Wallabies Contract (which he hadn't yet earned at the time) just to match, that's right match, not exceed, a Rebels contract which he'd intended to sign. I'm sure there are other more informed people who...

Maybe I grew up around football too much, but that's basically perfect list management. I have no problems with that. ARU can step in if they like, but the reality should be that the Reds should be making an offer (cash payment, player exchange, access to the zones, player is ineligible to play...

I always thought WTS, development and EPS contracts had terms written into them forcing a release when main/higher level squad places were offered. Definitely stupid by the clubs if they don't and they've been released when that's the whole point of contracting the player in the first place...

What club in its right mind would release contracted players to strengthen it's direct rivals if it wasn't obligated to? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

That's 100% fantastic news and makes me much happier if Lance will truly return to Worcester. JD just has that little touch of Stand-Off experience I'd be so happy to see somewhere in that lineup if we're going into the season with Hodge, Horwitz and the two untested boys in McGregor and Adams.

Solly is the master of false optimism GMR: whenever he says the right thing to the fans you know its heading to shit behind closed doors.

Depends what angle Wessels wants to play. Playing "Wallabies style" probably sees: DHP, Sefa, Meakes, Hodge, Koroibete, Lance, Genia in a fairly traditional 2 wingers, 2 centers with the playmaker on the inside for 11-14. Playing 2017 Force Style potentially sees us: DHP, Hodge, Sefa, Meakes...

Something else to consider is Twitch, Youtube and the rise of ESports in the kid and youngster market. I'm not hugely into the scene as a whole myself: but my kryptonite is Age Of Empires 2 for the nostalgia factor. Virtually any time of day I can find myself a live game to watch involving...

Damn you my overuse of predictive text. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Happy with that: I know a number of us were reasonably comfortable with Worcester retaining him, but going into 2017 with a Utility back, a Center, and two Uncapped players as our only options did not fill me with confidence. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Bloody hell, between Skelton, Day and Stirzaker, the Saracens quality of depth is plummeting like an anchor.

Nature of Club Rugby at its finest showing itself there Wamb.

Maybe it's just me, but I like it, having had no real attachment to any Brumbies Jersey. Particularly for how clean it. Nice, solid, non-clashing colours in well defined areas, and the little bit of additional colour in the trim. No fading, no slashing, no weird shiny greys/silvers, no crazy...
