I read somewhere that they were contractually obliged to play all the men's on the main field?

Still, it's good publicity for the event.

I think it's more relevant to discuss who they are missing from their current squad. Holland is a huuuuge loss,Porch injured adds salt to the wounds. Then Jenkins,Parahi & Killingworth leave a huge hole. So the injury toll has had an effect. However, when uncontracted players are selected in...

They won't affect us, they will be in the cup 1/4's :)

It will be interesting! I saw him late last year, he has clearly be enjoying his retirement. I hope he is fit enough to show us some glimpse of the glory days.

That's the same barrel Tietjens was recruiting from. Yes, you need talent, but you need someone with a clue to identify,then foster that talent. Welcome to our world of pain.

The Reds should put the commercial interests of a third party ahead of their interests in preparing for their season?

I agree, except don't compare them to SA compare them to Canada. That's the game he seems to be imitating. We are a fair way from doing it as well as the Canadians.

Got to beat Japan first :)

We cant throw it around quickly. We have picked players without that skill set

4 clubs own Ray's, each had to invest $30k pa to fund the franchise. Syd Uni were the dominant partner in the Stars. Rams had several clubs involved in their ownership structure. So yeah,with money.

That's all great, and in theory,we all share the same goal in having Rugby as a strong & successful as possible. But our definitions of success differs with our personal preferences. It's naive to expect that volunteers investing in many cases,both time and money, should work harder in a...

I was responding to your post that he was unavailable due to injury this week. Which inferred he was ready now. He's not.

He might well be in the future, but I think he's at least a year away from being competitive at this level.

You think players will miss SS games to play against Super squad fillers in a match designed to give Non match day players a bit of fitness? Wales played one mid weeker against a Super Team in NZ. Clearly tour length/squad sizes have reduced in the modern era. I don't believe there is an...

I was actually suggesting it was petty for SS clubs to orchestrate the clash, But again, in your desperation for revenge you can't think of who possible opponents might be. Any suggestions? I'm not labelling anything as yesteryear,I'm acknowledging that touring Test teams are hit & run...

Knock yourself out. Who do you suggest they play? In the good old days players would be lining up to play visiting International teams, but that's in the past. They are not going to miss club games to play some nothing game, designed to fuck over over the SS. Time to move on, the clash of one...

I wish the debutants the best of luck. It's a tough introduction,first two games are against arguably the best 2 sides in the world.

Unfortunately, they look about right for me....

No idea, but apparently daylight savings punishes the curtains doesn't it?
