Apply the current WR (World Rugby) eligibility laws. As far back as a grandparent or 3 years residency. The vast majority of PI players would find themselves eligible under those laws. Which ever groups gets it up and running would definitely need to help build local pathways on the respective nations. As...

Yeah. Why not? The Green & Gold series doesn't necessarily need to be a series either. It could be The Green & Gold game. This could also help getting O/S based Wallabies eligible players back for the game.With the Wallabies squad released the day after the day.

If they go with the SoU format then I hope they go with NSW vs Qld and Vic vs WA. I'm not a fan of parachuting in players from either state into either NSW or Qld. If we go down this path we should be looking to both enhance what makes the SoO concept such a success while also putting our point...

Tell me. In terms of Aus/NZ Rugby what have been the primary sources of information we've been working from. Right across the forum. Sources that are very public and accessible.

That's along the lines of what I'm thinking.

If you want to discuss what I've actually said and not some bullshit angle you're trying to work then great. But you know you're talking shit now.

I aslo don't pretend to be some Rugby Oracle that demands you take my word as law. I like to pass on information I get about the game that I find or receive to in this this case G&GR because I think you lot would find it interesting. Particularly that of US Rugby and the MLR of which I have...

I've never claimed to be involved in the process and you know that. Drop the pissy attitude. I said they've been mentioned across several sources in the past weeks. Look them up for yourself.

So the answer is I didn't say talks had stalled. You can show insolence and be in talks at the same time.

Did I say they weren't talking? Show me the direct quote where I said negotiations had stalled. Go ahead. I'll give you a minute. I said they have a insolent attitude.

And yet. A surprising number of the guys who I interact with turn out to be just who they say they are and provide good information.

Are you suggesting there are times when I don't?

Having lived there for 3 years I can endorse this comment.

I don't hate NZ Rugby. I dislike the attitude they entered this stage with and their continue insolence in regards to swallowing their pride (many say arrogance) and working with RA to achieve their initial stated goals. I believe a 10-12 team AP/TT competition would be the best in the world...

Which is why if they go with states and Vic and WA series should be considered as well.

What you seem to be describing are just the traditional BaaBaas. Which are an interesting spectacle every so often when they tour but not something I could see becoming an annual thing capable of maintaining long term interest. The whole premise here is about building something that can engage...

Speaking from my personal perspective its not that red hot. Sure we like beating you but it's not an all consuming drive. But that's my perspective. Like with Rugby. I probably hate the Brumbies more than the Reds. I deeply dislike the Reds but I also respect them for all of the talent they...

Hey, here's an idea. We could have a series featuring the Green and Gold teams. Alongside NZ's North and South Islands with perhaps even the PI nations added in.

How would that be different from the Green & Gold Series. Gold could be the incumbents with the Green being those trying to knock them off. Simple and from a marketing perspective is a lot better than Wallabies vs Aus BaaBaas in my opinion.

They're not too far off the mark. Just need a few good recruits to make them a threat in every game. I'm actually happy for them to continue to look overseas for talent as well. As long as they provide that pathway for local WA talent then what they need to do to ensure a competitive squads is...
