    Meakes played a lot of 13 at Gloucester. At this stage, I think that he and Hodge are looking like our center pair, regardless of jersey numbers, with Lance and Genia as the halfs, and with Koroibete and Sefa on the wings and DHP at fullback.

    All Blacks & Maori All Blacks EOYT's 2017

    There's a lot of talk about residency, or somebody with a granny who was sort of born somewhere but didn't really have a connection to the place and that nonsense, removing the passion in playing and supporting the National sides. But I defy anyone to tell me that anyone in a Navy or tartan...

    How much rugby are you watching nowadays?

    Refereeing decisions

    It's one I think the convention should be changed on: hands on ball should be open for business, and any adjustments in the ruck should be made by the foot. Having said that, the penalty was fully correct under the current interpretations, and the yellow card fully deserved given the position...

    Because deliberately and illegally killing an attacking opportunity is fundamentally against the spirit of Rugby: and a reasonable punishment such as a yellow card is the best way to discourage that behaviour. It's definitely one of the better changes to the interpretations we've had over the...

    Come off it, Beale never made a genuine attempt for the intercept, his only aim was to kill that ball, and all the blustering and posturing in the world can't camouflage it.

    England v Australia, Sunday 19 November 2:00am AEDT

    Because some group of people, a long time ago decided that the only way to deliberately kill the ball was: to kick it out of play, to run it out of play, and grounding it in either In-Goal area, and throwing, or pushing the ball dead wasn't. But equally, legitimate errors such as a forward pass...

    There was talk of him going to Gloucester full time, but I can't imagine that a serious offer hadn't been tabled to TPN in that case, from the ARU at least, if not from Wessells and the Management.

    Think the ref wasn't harsh enough on the consistent AB infringements, but otherwise you're correct, we should have done better at converting the play into points. Still not too bothered. Overall good performance, particularly given the quality of the opposition and the injury disruption to the...

    Chieka Chieka Chieka. Is the coaching ability worth the embarrassment for RA? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    I was misinformed clearly. Thought that was one of the big draws of the comp. Not necessarily a bad thing though, just slightly disappointing. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I think with McMahon, Toby and Inman gone, Colby is the heart and soul of the pre-existing players, and he should start, and IMO, should be the captain, particularly as I don't see much between the two of them on form and current ability (potential may be another matter but I digress)...

    Hanson over Uelese: probably experience. Colby over Hardwick: Culture. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Like Stirzy, but not surprised. Needs a fresh start to rediscover his potential, never been the same since he got the captaincy. Not good for Harry though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    Casual Audience is why Broadcast (and to a lesser extent FTA) is still important. It's fine to release something without a time restriction: A movie, a TV show, hell reality TV as long as it's not sequential. Live things are a much smaller market, and its difficult to carve out anything but a...

    Without numbers and inside knowledge at hand, I think it's fine, as long as its not a symptom of declining or stagnant Senior Men's participation. Concentration of Rebels talent (and potentially/probably those who seek pro careers/high level Rugby in general) is a good thing for the premier...

    I thought they were talking about being able to produce full teams week in week out in both 2A & 2B rather than stretch themselves so thin that they were lucky to get two sides out on any given weekend. No idea though. The more the merrier down in Broncoville. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I know we don't want to talk about it, but it was hardly surprising: we were wobbly against the Rays, then had 5ish weeks of really high quality Rugby, then more off kilter performances against the Rams and QC (Quade Cooper) post bye as injuries built. Throw in losing Engo, McMahon and Jones for that first...

    Gut feeling is that that is nearly the final squad Reg. If we aren't getting Lance, I have a feeling Worcester would have signed him up already: he's an improvement on Heathcote. Coleman is yet to be confirmed as well, but can't see him going anywhere else. Some on here have put Cummo on a...
