Mate that’s where they target growth but let’s be real as rugby grows in those nations there will be more and more support for their own National sides. I know Kiwis always push this but who will the American fans be behind in 31? The US, they won’t be buying AB shirts. One or two out of window...

It would be great to have another side. Unfortunately it would be a massive struggle to have the numbers for three clubs in the area Edit: Did a quick search it looks like they field a rugby team at different university games but don’t have a week to week side playing in a club comp

No Northern and Eltham are probably too close now.

But buying into the wallabies buys you a share of the revenue of two world cups and a Lions tour. You know with the political landscape being what it is at the moment there will be money for grass roots rugby for the 2029 women’s World Cup. On top of that the amount of funding will increase as...

Look I think it’s a bit harder in Sydney because you have to take on League in public school’s but I don’t think it’s impossible. I think they should build on the program to be honest. La Trobe is a main sponsor of the Rebels. They have amazing facilities, even if the Uni starts it’s own Dewar...

To be fair Aus will finalise their PE deal after the two world cups become official in May RL is aiming to up its presence in NZ with the South Island being looked at for the 18th NRL team. If the Auckland city council gets the western springs redevelopment done then they will look to grow the...

Well yes people still watch TV, but rugby dropping out of the top 20 could be more to do with the fan base having other things to do

With lower broadcast numbers, I think we have to remember the biggest factor of all. Covid, life has largely returned to normal, I think last year I watched all of the super rugby AU games. If not all definitely 90% plus. The last two weeks I have not had time to watch any game outside of the...

With all this doom and gloom about rugby crowds. 4,000 in at Giants stadium

I agree, a lot of government money getting invested in women’s sport at the moment. Also no way taking a shot at the women, but I feel it is a lot easier to close the gap between where we are and the best sides

Naea talks at the end about wanting to become a teacher. For mine this is the real success of the program. As in time he will take his love for rugby back into the school system and inspire the next generation of kids to play the game

If we are going to replace a coach we have to look nation wide/internationally for the best candidate

Still can’t get over the passion from the Fijian fans. They bring so much to the game and are so deserving of a side. Can see playing them in Suva becoming one of the more difficult road trips in Super Rugby

Tom Banks was very stiff, Jack Grant did the same thing last week wasn’t even a penalty for his shot on Vaihu

Best game I have ever been to at AAMI park. Full credit to the Fijian fans. They made the night. The excitement every time the scored was insane. The singing everything, the atmosphere they created was incredible. I can’t wait to hopefully go over one day and watch the Rebels play them in Fiji

I have never won anything. You have won more prizes than the club has games……

Hi Dr Nick

I see, I normally get the team selection news on social media so when I get the email from the club I don’t open that article but I will be in the future

So we are good at developing locks, 3 local locks all junior wallabies and 22, 20 and 19 respectively.

Something is wrong at the club, you can not tell that’s best practice
