Ireland heading to the Women's final in red hot form, just savaged Great Britain, wining 31-7.

Cards/pending bans aside this tournament has already turned out very well for the Women's side. With the other finalsts in 6th (USA: 22 points), 7th (Ireland: 18) and 9th (Great Britain: 8) on the standings they're set to extend their lead of 6 points at the top of the standings by at least 2...

Yeah, it's a very savvy move they've made, investing specifically in hotel real estate that is closely tied with the game. Given the amount of travel in our game, both international and interstate, it would've been a great investment off the back of the 03 world cup. The lack of actual assets...

He's got a fair bit of versatility covering 10, 12 and 15 so he could slot in well as the 22. Still, I think it will probably his last season at the Force as they look to rebalance their backline talent.

Last one was 6 games reduced to 3 so it seems like a pretty likely. Hard to see her getting away with anything less than 3 at the very least.

Girls coming home so strong here, love to see it

I think Dan is saying he hopes that the Rebels/RA and those involved don't attempt to engage in any sort of phoenix activity as a way to escape the debt. As far as I'm aware that sort of behaviour is illegal and particularly unlikely to go unnoticed with such a public situation.

Yeah Joe Brial is the one on the second from the left, thought he was in the 2nd row but just realised that's Connor Anderson

I was going to say back row 2nd from left was Cormac Daly, but that might be him between Vunivalu and Smith. Far right looks super familiar, I think maybe John Bryant? Agree that it's Vest with hair, he's also only an inch taller than Annan on listed height's so that lines up. Edit: Just had a...

https://www.espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/id/39387739/melbourne-rebels-enter-voluntary-administration-amid-debt-crisis It sound slike Wexted have been bought in to assist with the debt situation but the organisation are not in voluntary administration, at least not yet. Still a pretty dire...

That and the big yellow banner at the top of the article saying it's more than 6 years old:

It's from 6 years ago, when RA agreed to drop to 4 teams in super rugby and spent months trying to work out whether it was the Rebels or the Force that got cut. As much as the Rebels current troubles might bring back memories of that period I don't think we need to relitigate those decisions

By all reports that was in the works well before any of this happened, with talks starting before they even lost Nawaqanitawase. As much as I love an opportunity shit on the tahs, this isn't it.

https://reds.rugby/news/queensland-reds-v-western-force-trial-match-tickets-on-sale-now-2024115 First Trial of the season coming up next weekend. I think the Reds forward pack is probably already pretty set coming into the season but there are lots of questions about how the backline will shape...

I'm not particularly interested in carving the Rebels up for parts will they're still breathing. Certainly we should be talking to players like Eloff for next year (when he's off contract), but I don't think it serves us in the long run to look at their list like a catalogue we can pick and...

Any more word on this? He looked in good nick and spirits in the media day clips they've just been sharing on social media.

Probably not obligated to, given the need to run a full a squad to meet commitments to the competition. That said a buyout offered for a player where there is a fair bit of depth in the roster (prop, backrow and maybe centre) would be hard for the organization to ignore, particularly if the...

Thats a big blow. I'm sure a lot of guys were already considering their options, but seeing someone like Kellaway sign might open the floodgates and signal to them to get something locked in sooner rather than later, particularly if they're keen to stay in Aus. This is where the disruption to...

That was again a function of the club run teams in NSW and absolute disconnect between the NSWRU, tahs and the NRC teams. It wasn't a problem in Qld where super rugby contracts were up for grabs and the NRC teams were filled out with the top club players.

So for 10 cents then?
