Being a 6 Nations weekend, you'd imagine that Toulon would be largely composed of Southern Hemisphere Players, some Frenchies and Samu Manoa. Probably not even any Georgians given its an ERC weekend too.

Poop. Cummins and Jeffries will clearly be our starting pair then, and Timani will probably play a lot more lock than Chieka would like.

;)

Watch some league then. Gets ridiculously bad when the refs have no balls and refuse to send players to the bin for all sorts of crap.

It would be disappointing but fundamentally fair for some boys to miss out because of injuries not suffered at the time. Nel the other logical victim of that ATM. Francis and Furlong have both been very good in 2016, particularly in the November Internationals, then with Dan Cole being fit and...

The "It's on in Sydney" campaign that Tourism NSW does is pushing it quite hard, both on FTA and Pay TV. Not seen much physical. But no independent adverts AFAIK, whereas the 10s seems to have a significant push on its own.

The only thing wrong with that call is that Barrit didn't get at least a yellow too. BBC overreacting, every media outlet followed their lead.

Dubai and Las Vegas have been going reasonably strong for 18ish and 7ish years respectively too.

I understand why you feel that way Amirite, and admittedly it's a very tempting one from an attacking perspective. For mine, Jack has always played best either having the 2nd playmaker at fullback or being the 2nd playmaker at fullback. And dropping Inman, particularly to fit all 3 of Sefa...

We were discussing backlines with the signing of Volavola, and the backrow forwards were relevant to the 2 man bench I named. I think we've got a reasonable set of tight five players. Not amazing by any sense, but should be able to compete with the rest of the Aussie Conference. Chibbas a...

My reckoning is that we'll see something like this to start the season: 9. Stirzaker, 10. JD, 11. English/Koroibete, 12. Hodge, 13. Inman, 14. Sefa/English, 15. Volavola 22. Meehan, 23. Koroibete/Sefa/English And we'll play 6 forwards on the bench so we get all 3 "opensides" (McMahon, Colby...

Kickoff 9am ADST. Thought I'd maybe get to this one being in New Zealand at the time, but am in Wellington on Friday rather than Saturday. Ah well. Someone else will have to update scores and make angry comments about non-Australian/New Zealand sides.

London is always last. Dubai is always on the last weekend of November or first of December. Las Vegas is always the last weekend in February or first in March, and Hong Kong is always the last weekend in March or the first in April. With the partnered tournaments in play, that more or less...

Very Happy with that. No pressure on JGB or McGregor to make starts now, or for Hodgey to move away from inside center.

The unlimited broadband is still Horseshit. They're still almost all 50-200GB at proper speeds, then drop down to 256kbps or less for the remainder of the billing period. That's before the fact that Australian internet is awful and neither the Coalition nor Labor is willing to do anything to...

Stupid Students having a life outside Uni and Partying.

Dunedin Sevens! Party party party!

McCall wisely doesn't play Big Will and Big Jim at the same time. Sarries, to their credit have built from being just a successful club to a club playing a good style and developing their own players as well as bringing in the mercs. There wouldn't be many places (Maybe the big 3 Irish sides)...

Stiles being full time head will help. Gill and Holmes are big losses, but Moore, Cooper, Higgers and Smith in more than cover for it. There's a lot of quality lost from the Ponies. Moore, To'omua, Ruan Smith, Tomane, Pocock, Vaea, plus Lilo can't play. Godwin is a nice in, but the Faingaas...
