That would be 10 Wallabies that have left in the last 2 years by my count. There can't be a another side in World Rugby with that much international player turnover?

The chart posted above is from Wikipedia, which uses the Ausplay survey as it's source, which literally does count all of those pickup/informal games in its metrics. The issue for union in using these numbers is there aren't very many informal games of rugby union breaking out. Those kind of...

Just cause rugby likes to be complicated, the threshold for this is "deliberate" act of foul play, not "always illegal" (mitigation for cards etc). I think it was reckless, but possibly not deliberate, so ref got it right under the current guidelines

Can't be a company director if you are bankrupt either

Off to the Force

The Force have announced he is heading out west

He's also exactly the type of player that we can't afford to keep. No Wallaby top-up to swing a deal

You are right. They head off to basketball or get paid to be a ruckman instead

The laws define it as Advantage ends when: The referee deems that the non-offending team has gained an advantage......The referee allows play to continue. So refs have to ask themselves whether the non-offending team has gained an advantage. Would they rather have the previous penalty awarded...
