    Rugby 7s general chat

    One of the "problems" (comparing the Sevens to 5 or 6 years ago) with the current Sevens is that in most of the established Rugby Nations, it's not adequately bringing in either the day out on the piss crowd (staple of many many tournaments, and the primary source of the great atmosphere) or the...

    "Transparency" at the ARU

    On top of that, I think players are starting to see through Chieka's "interest" horseshit that he's apparently been spouting to every Aussie under the sun.

    Paris 7s - 13 and 14 May

    What's the S&C profile for the 7s squad? Getting at least 8-10 of your best 12 out there week in week out is much more important than having a 20-25 man squad available for selection. Also complete player buy in to a coaching team, but that's much easier when you can get a consistent group out...

    More like the bloke potentially voted off the life raft threatening to slash it if that comes to pass, given that the Rebels going is basically the death of Victorian Rugby as anything but the amateur club game and the home of the occasional schoolboy deserving of a NSW/QLD School Scholarship.

    Rebels 2018

    Need Mad Dog to stay. Need Mafi to stay. Need strength and conditioning boys to step up. Need new blood in key areas (Lock and Fly half primarily). Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    No Sevens thread this week, so this one will have to do. Classic Kiwis.

    Waratahs v Rebels - Sunday 21 May - Allianz Stadium

    On replay, Mumm should have gone to the bin in the Hanson rucking incident. He's 2 metres out from his own line, ref has called tackle, and then, once again, called hands away. Definition professional foul. Latu being in the bin already and an overeager TMO shouldn't influence that...

    Super Rugby - I am bored

    New Zealand derbies are amazing. Everything else gives me the shits, and I much prefer to watch NH or Sevens if the Rebels aren't playing. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Gotcha Cox is playing 3D Chess to scrounge the ARU of as much cash as possible and then hand back the License, despite numerous statements to players, coaches and media that they won't be let go to be killed off = legitimate and well reasoned theory Cox is playing 3D Chess to put himself in a...

    Because cash is the asset that the ARU lack. And by making very reasonable demands (from a legal and business perspective at least), that your opponent can't fulfill, it gives you maximum bargaining power. Beyond that, this ongoing saga has now meant that I personally couldn't care less about...

    And why don't you think that'll be exactly what will be achieved? An out of court settlement guaranteeing both the Rebels share of broadcast revenue, and the removal​ of both the Rebels Salary Cap and restrictions on International recruitment are without a doubt the most likely scenario given...

    A reversal of current circumstances? Sounds good to me.

    Waratahs v Rebels - Sunday 21 May - Allianz Stadium

    Will Goddard actually get off the bench? Not that he'd probably make much impact, I'd just like to see him actually play, instead of getting 3 weeks of splinters. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
