I can confirm it was complete horseshit.

Always thought Hill was a little hard done by, between the awful (in retrospect only) recruitment for 2011, plus the Beale/O'Connor/Cipriani shit on top of it being his first time as a Pro Coach. I'm not saying I wanted to keep him on or anything, just a lot of issues were comparatively not in...

Just another name for the 10/Fly Half/Five Eighth/First Five. I think it comes from being the player who "Stands Off" the ruck/scrum/lineout to be the first receiver, as compared to the occasionally used, but much less common "Stand In" used for the Scrum Half.

Scotland Squad Nel is touring, you guys are fucked ;)

And if Contempomi had been correctly called offside, they wouldn't even have beaten us. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Argentina's problem is more that they can't consistently beat the NH teams in either the June or November windows. Whereas you lot, the Kiwis and the Saffas win most of them, with the occasional slip up. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

NRC U19s. Maybe with 3 or 4 overagers a teams The vast majority of players for both the Super U20s and the final squads SHOULD be coming from those in their U20 year, who've had the full year out of school before the season begins, and so should be able to participate in an U19 comp without...

Probably. Definitely not. No idea. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Didn't mind Ha'angana over Schatz, the latter has been nothing short of invisible. Agree with that otherwise. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

McGahan has played ugly Rugby and made objectively poor and biased selection/recruitment policies from day dot. When we looked to be building a strong culture, and had some results to back it up, I was happy to let it be. But we went backwards last year, and collapsed entirely this year...

It's definitely not working for the Australian side now yes. Assuming Super Rugby survives in something loosely resembling it's current form, the JWRC would probably be pushed back another 5 weeks post Japan '19, in the same way the current Summer Tours would be. Would that 5 weeks provide...

4 of our 6 remaining opponents are Australian opposition. Plus we play a Jaguares side on tour. Saving the season is impossible, but there's a little bit of respect left to be won, given we've got games against all 4 sides. With McMahon, Timani, and Colby slowly returning to the squad, that...

Literally Nothing. Just based on the games I've watched (between the Super U20s and the tournament just gone) I thought Ha'angana might be parachuted in to be a big, dynamic, hard running, 4/6/8, particularly with guys like Leota and Valenti injured. But I think Valenti probably has the...

Lee, is there a time period on "played Super Rugby"? Because Uelese played at least the Blues game for the Rebels this season, maybe the Canes game too. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

How the fuck did Goddard get there when he was the 4th stringer? A little surprised, but not very much that Ha'angana didn't get selected, but when I saw Valetini was named, it all clicked into place. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

At this stage, is Australian Rugby not better off abandoning Super Rugby, allowing full overseas selection, and creating a 10-12 team league for developmental, depth and domestic broadcast purposes, aligned Calender wise so its players can also play in the Japanese Leagues if they choose to do...

Transfer fees are something that the ARU, as a "Seller" should be pushing for, and advertising that their players are available to buy out contracts rather than expecting it to come out of thin air and/or altruism. In the last couple of years alone, the SRU have "sold" 4 contracted players to...

Retallick is the softest lock I've ever seen too. I'd be tempted to just play Ha'angana off the bench for next week, and use Timani as a lock for the rest of the season. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
