    British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand (2017)

    Eh. Mako used arms, hit the chest, and it was "at the ruck" (yes, he wasn't blocking the ball or anything, but if the 10s there, you smash 'em.) Don't particularly like the bloke, I'd vastly prefer McGrath to start in the final test, but the only reason it was any more than a penalty and a...

    I'd say it's due process. Australian Rugby consistently seems to be very very insular in it's coaching ranks. Obviously there would be preferred recruits who'd be pre-listed, but why turn down Rob Baxter or Frank Azema if for some reason they'd want to coach in the Southern Hemisphere, but...

    British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand (2017)

    It always has. The problem, as it probably can be described, is that there's a small but growing number of groups (primarily those who prioritize Club Rugby, those who prioritize International Rugby, and those who view BILs tours as little more than an underserved financial subsidisation of SH...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    RFU funding to the clubs (non-broadcast/competition) is contingent on using on an average percentage of English Eligible players in their Premiership match day squads, with allowances being made for Internationals and/or long term injuries. EQPs are important, and much like in football, it does...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Marquee rules basics only apply to English Premiership Clubs, are weird, and there seem to be so many exceptions that they effectively nullified. Far more importantly in this case, is what you need to work. AFAIK, if you have: a British or EU or Kolpak Passport, or even a non-tourist/student...

    I think there won't be envisaged success in SBW running straight over the top, but his offloads become significantly more deadly, due to Farrell's rather good one on one defense, but comparatively poor structural defense outside the current Sarries system. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    As I said, no balls. To select them, and then not play them is cowardice and self preservation of the highest order. What pisses me off is that if what he's saying is truly to avoid criticism, his use of Dell in both in games, and Russell in the 2nd doesn't make sense. By getting on the...

    And Russell forgets he's playing Gatland Ball and looks for an offload rather than recycling or kicking Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I dunno. I think having Glen Jackson on your National Refereeing team basically deprives you of the right to complain about anyone else.

    That doesn't sound right to me. 2 Weeks of Super Rugby H&A 3 Weeks of Super Rugby Finals 1 week Bye before Rugby Championship That sounds to me like definitely missing 1st Bledisloe, maybe making 2nd, more likely held back for weeks 3 and 4, if not getting match fitness via the Rising in...

    Australia v Scotland, 3:00pm 17 June Sydney Football Stadium

    We're making the same mistakes you blokes made against us: particularly in not taking the points. Also missing Finn quite badly. With him and Dunbar missing, that's the best backline and Mark Bennett all out between injury and BILs duty, and it's showing, particularly in the halves. Sent from...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Leone Nakarawa was on a pittance when he was first playing for Glasgow, yet he had a good dozen or so Fijian Senior Caps. Obviously he's a major outlier on pure talent, but, it does suggest there's stuff there. Nayacalevu was playing in Melbourne after getting his Fiji Sevens caps as well, he...
