Lions have turned into an even bigger occasion than they were even 30yrs ago. Don’t think there would be a player running around that would pass up the opportunity. Basically adds an extra 100k to your value when talking to Japanese/French clubs in the future. I personally have thought maybe...

https://nextgenxv.com/2022/10/30/world-under-18-xv-2022/ A list on next gen across the world. A few Aussies in here, unfortunately a few off to RL

100% Melbourne are getting a test. Remember reading a deal struck pre-Covid with the Vic government for some Bledisloe and Lions test. It’d be great if a 4th can come to fruition so Perth can get a test.

You’re right. Not in the same class but they don’t receive the same development at individual schools for obvious reasons (investment, competition, school priorities, etc.). Often a few of the better guys head interstate to get better rugby education as well. This Tahs team is very good tho...

Every comp does that the season rolls on. In NZ ‘19 to ‘20 Super Rugby market share increase around 5% from ‘21 to ‘22 it dropped back to the ‘19 figure after 2 season with the sustained increase. Admittedly not a lot of games involved in each season to derive a large sample size (n=30). M10 has...

Can we dispel some myths. - numbers did not drop for SRAo. In fact they were higher than the previous Super Rugby versions and last seasons numbers. Maybe this was down to Covid? But there isn’t any evidence to state the 5 teams weren’t working, snapshots would say it worked better, but there is no...

Saw that. Not a great sign when the principal shareholder openly admits he would offload his shares just for club security. Entire system is a mess over there. It was only a few months ago Wasps directors were telling fans the debts weren’t an issue and under control.

Speculation time…. Rumours London Irish in trouble financially, any odds Coleman or Simmons wanting 1 more season in Aus for a late RWC push if they get pushed out of contract. Demand for services in locks is less than it would of been with the market having Eng internationals Ted Hill and...

Rebels are the most unlucky team with injuries.

Ignore that, decided not to be lazy and look myself

Love the interaction. Is there interstate membership options?

Ned was pretty impressive in the wide channels in the second Aus A game, dominated collisions and guaranteed front foot ball. Was bouncing off players in the Tahs win against the Highlanders. I’ll go out on a limb and think he will start the out of release tests at no.6 or at least be in the...

Ability to play either side as well. Could be a valuable squad member in years to come.

Talakai played yesterday for Rebels in Japan, so has some game time under his belt. But reality is he’s close to last man standing. Eloff becoming eligible can’t come soon enough for depth

I think a 4/5 week comp with the Super Rugby teams playing each other is more than likely in the next 12 months. Was rumored to almost be over the line this year

If we can get a system set up with Super Rugby then an Aus championship with the 5 Aus teams, could still get 14-15 games a year out of him

Angelo Smith was good and Cooper-Jones looked like he belonged. Would of loved to see more from the starting front row, but they weren’t poor either.

Both teams taking it seriously which is nice. Always worry these games are hit and giggle with limited gains, but think this has been a good hit out
