I'd say he should have ended up as a wankstain, but I wouldn't wish that on any sheet or pair of underwear. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Ref is trash, but finally got one right at scrum time, only for us to miss touch and gift the reds a try. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Just a standard SH Rugby attitude I'm afraid. 20 seconds of thought is enough to form an opinion on something I have no direct knowledge of. Not saying it applies to everyone, not by a long shot, but with the exception of the "NZ raids the islands" morons, I think that the relatively high...

I agree. I thought that was why they were so pish, they couldn't get Australians/Kiwis playing for them the same way the Samoans could. Obviously they're just bad and that's it.

I'd imagine that much like NZ and Scotland you nominate Australia A, but never bother to schedule any fixtures for Australia A. I think that if you had nominated the U20s side, it would have been specifically announced at some point, and reps from year 20XX forward wouldn't be considered...

If the English model doesn't work, and the New Zealand model doesn't work, then that leaves the Irish model doesn't it. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I'd argue that Wales would have been preferred, at least the Japanese have beat them already! :P In all seriousness, I think that the short breaks will be to our advantage for once​. If Laidlaw and Nel can stay fit and performing strongly, along with Fagerson and Price continuing to develop, we...

We beat them twice from two attempts with a half strength team playing like crap last June, in Japan. At this point in time, our aim should be to top the pool, and the pass mark is making the Quarters.

More or less guaranteed quarter final with Italy being so poor currently, and the Repêchage/African teams have typically occupied bottom slots in whichever pools they've found themselves in. Plus having NZ in the Pools would mean you can't possibly meet them in knockouts until the final itself.

Happy with that. Wanted Pool B, but at least we avoided Argentina. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Fiji did use the U20s as their A side for a while. I think they stopped when they fell out of the Championship and didn't get straight back in. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

So you more or less need to be in the country by mid-November this year to have any chance of qualifying (based on the last tier 1 Internationals of the year). Happy days. EDIT: I like the other changes too. Almost more than the 3 to 5 years. In addition: 10 years total residency gives...

Very interesting. I'd argue that there's a lot of pessimism about the future involved in the 16-25ish plus age group nowadays, which doesn't leave a lot of room for romance in the choice of career. If I'm 21-23 and on the fringes of a Super Deal ~ at approx $40k AUD (The figure Sefa Naivalu...

To play in the Premiership without an EU or Kolpak Passport (probably soon to go to UK only) requires you to be English Eligible, a valuable contribution to a team (a minimum number of overall Test caps or involved in a certain % of Tests over the previous 18 months to 2 years) or to have...

I disagree WOB. It sums up the last great bastion of amateurism in the top level, in so much that an event with so much honour and respect can't also be a massive piss take. It's almost certainly on its way out, but embrace it while it's here. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Not exactly right WOB. The European team in the Continental playoff is the winner of the playoff between 2nd in the REC and the winner of the playoff between the winner of the RET and the winner of the Playoff between the Regional Conference winners. Boy that's a mouthful. Sent from my...

Is removing the Stump from the Ground only a law for Run Outs? Alternatively, have the Bails have been dislodged from the middle stump?
