I'm going to assume you mean national coach only, as Rob Baxter, Mark McCall, Dean Richards and Richard Cockerill would all disagree... Also, to attribute Clive's success to his time in Aus & NZ is ridiculously narrow-minded. The lack of knowledge people have about Northern Hemisphere...

I would have Higginbotham int he squad or at the very least on standby, but I know Cheik wouldn't.

They are a rival car brand in every possible sense, in the same way that McDonalds is a rival/alternative to Neil Perry's burger project

I would also like us to look at Rob Baxter, Dean Richards, Vern Cotter...

And I get that. And I know we need the money. It's just the little things, and maybe my wording was a bit strong, but we continue to uppercut ourselves as a code. Not dissimilar to sending Meakes, Philip and Faulkner to Wallaby promos in the past 48 hours and then not picking them. Wouldn't...

Only changes I would make: Gordon in for Powell, have to find room for Higgers (pathetic that he is overlooked when we have such a dearth of fit backrowers) in for one of Banks/DHP/Naivalu, or else move the goalposts and pick Fardy. At least he hasn't reached on...

I'm sorry, but this is moronic from RA. 95% of fans will hear 'Mitsubishi' and think of the car brand - Land Rover would be furious, and this will surely impact their decision to re-sign when that deal expires. I get the need for a series sponsor and the $$$, but you've got to have integrity...

Good feedback here from Mrs. Kuenzle ;)

Really close to being what I would pick. Would replace Cottrell with Lukhan Tui and Hanigan (inj) with Timani. Would replace Naiyaravoro with Maddocks, and possibly replace Banks with Matt Philip to have an extra forward as Rona can cover outside.

Such a shame that Shota doesn't get to come back and play at AAMI Park, Matsushima too, but at least Gaki-san does! 11 changes from the starting side last week, but still some national team players: "Joseph said 10 of the players named were still with the Sunwolves in Australia, but that...

Under the terms of the new CBA, in 2019 (increases on 2018): $75k Super Rugby CPS (minimum 28, maximum 32 in squad) $850 p/w WTS (minimum 8, maximum 10 in squad) NRC is minimum payment $1,500 for the season (non-contracted players only, contracted players not entitled). Garden-Bachop would...

Richard Hardwick?

Evidence of Garden-Bachop taking a pay cut? Seems highly unlikely seeing as their ITM Cup contract could conceivably cover his FDP contract, let alone the Super Rugby element..

There's a possibility that Craig will be back for a stint next year with no Top League for a year - Rebels want him to be there.

I thought Fereti Sa'aga had a good impact with ball in hand.

Ruru was very poor last night. He's not an international 9 by any stretch of the imagination, let alone a quality Super Rugby 9. Makes letting Stirzy go/forcing Stirzy out after being the skipper even more disgraceful.

Jaguares are on top here, up 20-12 with a two-man advantage and pushing for more. Relentless. Great to see, and despite my own opinions regarding the time difference and lack of genuine rivalries stifling Super Rugby in Australia with teams in SA & ARG, from a Rugby perspective they are...

I truly don't know - it was a random thought and I'd love to hear others' perspectives. I just think he is one of our better players and it would be great to find the right spot for him...

Two thoughts I had today... 1 - The Giteau Law should include any Australian-eligible players over 32, such as Fardy. He came to professional Rugby late and had a huge impact in a short space of time, but should not be begrudged the chance to earn some big bucks and play overseas before he...

Have LONG thought this, especially with the international nature of the game. Hell, even at International Cricket Captain level I'd be happy
