    Clearly has little self control outside a very controlled environment. Came to Glasgow out of shape when he's spent the 8 weeks or so running around for the World XV, we worked very hard to trim him down, then come 2016, wWhen he came straight from Glasgow to the Tahs, there was about 4 weeks...

    We only have 5, and one of them isn't even Australian! You can't possibly count Hosea, and Meafou isn't even down here training full time I think. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Rebels 2018

    Hope so. Had looked to turn a corner in 2016 NRC for mine after a couple of seasons of ~ 25 minute performances at both Soup & NRC level before the injury and infections. With a stronger pack around him, along with higher quality mentors in Parling and Coleman, could be a big part of 2018 and...

    Forgive my complete and utter lack of legalese, but if the opposition didn't matter, why would: Be part of the regulation if it wasn't?

    I am sure your info is good, but it makes no sense to me whatsoever. The Wallabies XV match would have to be considered cap tied under regulation 8.3 (c) But at that time the French Barbarians were not the Next Senior fifteen a side National Representative team of France: it was the under 20s...

    Regardless of the Australian team, wasn't the French 2nd Nominated XV the U20s in 2016 anyways? So since they weren't playing against another nominated side, it wouldn't cap tie the players? I know in previous years that the Welsh and French U20s only got cap tied playing against each other...

    Rebels 2018

    Not too surprising. Comparing to NZ teams is like flogging a dead horse around here but its undoubtedly the thing they're doing best, and a big part of why they are the best. Speaking from a Scots perspective, that was supposedly the thing Rennie was best able to communicate remotely: and...

    RA to bid for RWC2027

    Are there any plans for WC expansion post 2023? Given that nobody outside of the Australia, NZ, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and Japan has ever qualified for the World Cup, seeing the debut of a Hong Kong, or another nation would be exciting, at least for mine.

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Something to consider there is that Premiership clubs play a minimum of 32 games: 22 Premiership, 6 European and 4 Anglo-Welsh Cup, twice the minimum a Super Side does (16), and for many of the games (particularly Anglo-Welsh, but at least three Prem rounds) occur during international windows...

    I didn't think either team was the 2nd Nominated international side?

    2017 SA Rugby

    I thought that the South Africans explicitly can't have or play against segregated teams as a part of the post apartheid process?

    Yes, and well, no. I think Goddard will overtake both Stirzaker and Ruru by season's end. Big call, but he seems to have a very mature head on his shoulders, and all the talent he needs to do so.

    Ruru's signing has really just moved Stirzaker's planning a few months forward for mine: will not be surprised to see Goddard be Genia's backup by seasons end.

    Squad we select for that will be interesting. 25 Blokes getting a chance, is it youth, is it to win, is it a few blokes Wessells doesn't know getting a chance, or is it a mix of everything.

    Wild Knights again in the 10s, along with the Blues and the Reds.

    NRC onwards and upwards

    If they didn't, Twiggy Rugby would be much much further along I think.

    2017 Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    Selection seems to be inconsistently applied based on the individual circumstances of the team. McMahon was ripped from us in 2014 despite playing in (and I think starting in?) every game until that point. Whereas this year Ha'angana was left at home, presumably by request due to our...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    Lots of stuff going on here. Agree or disagree with the ARU's conduct over the past 18 months (or rather, depending on how much you disagree with it) and acknowledging the ~1 Billion Twiggy is looking to put in, fundamentally this is a competition looking to go directly head to head with Super...

    2017 Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    The only positive of the lack of Super 20s is hopefully all the boys will get plenty of real gametime under their belts.

    What a load of shite. Piss poor. Access to club players being a sticking point. Get fucked.
