It's actually an outright shocker of a suggestion from Horan. One year contracts would make franchises almost impossible to run and the quality of the league play would suffer immensely. It would create immense instability and destroy any level of cohesiveness within he club. America has had...

Nah he's clearly shit and that's why he has been repeatedly and regularly selected :eek:

It also doesn't require the coach to be in the country for as much of the year as being a Super Rugby coach does. There isn't a lengthy preseason, etc. Most of the work he would be doing in the off season can be done remotely, although you would think he'd want to be in Oz for the purpose of...

Zander Wallabies job has much more time spent in the 'off' season than the Super Rugby coaching jobs do with the current schedule. So in all likeliness it would actually facilitate him spending more time with his family much better than the Brumbies job does...

I'd like to see him back in Super Rugby for sure but I do think RWC15 will be a stretch. The guy will be over 30, plays in a very intense and physical manner and in the position with the smallest margins for physical performance.

Could be, but why would you drop your backup 12? Just checked the Rebs players profile page and it turns out it isn't just the picture missing, but their entire bio. On the flip side there are only 21 player bios up on that page right now, including 4 EPS guys. Hegarty is also listed at a 15...

If they can teach Digby how to not turn over the ball while he's in France that would be wonderful. Then again it is Stade so who knows if he will learn much than how to pose in his underwear. Actually, he may be leading the class. Wallabies are really missing his consistency in getting over...

If they updated the photos for the season those guys may have been unavailable during the shoot day. This happens to at least 2-3 guys in each squad every year and usually results in some pretty hilarious photoshopping by the franchise interns.

the sabanator TE in the second row, maybe..but most RBs are under 6'0" so I think 8 is out of the question :p Historically though these conversion attempts have simply not panned out. It takes 8mos-1yr just to get these guys match fit because you literally have to tear them down and build...

I can see how you perceived it that way but I wasn't calling for violence towards the guy. Just shocked as to how it hasn't happened with the way he has allegedly carried himself for some years now. At the least you'd think maybe he had to hold the tackle bag for a few more reps than anyone...

As long as his hamstrings stay in one place this year. Fingers crossed. :confused:

Brumbieman Anything can be made to sound that simple when it is broken down that way. The reality is that playing those positions even in the 2nd/3rd tier of test rugby is much, much, much more complex than that. USAR simply does not have the resources right now to spend 2+ years getting...

That's funny. I've done a few thought experiments about what would happen if JOC (James O'Connor) pulled what he's pulled while playing for any of the clubs I have..ends in a beating every time.

If Betham wasn't such a shit tackler I'd be calling for him over Tomane. Tomane would be lucky to be considered 'solid' in his tests so far. If anything he's been very quiet and has even made his fair share of mistakes in spite of doing anything special or remarkable. Hopefully he makes me eat...

I'd reckon those are questions for his therapist, the second one at least.

This is really all that needs to be said here. Seriously, as a 22 year-old myself it is just fucking mind boggling the way he continues to behave.

the sabanator Converting NFL rejects has been a fucking disaster 99% of the times USA Rugby has tried it. Carlin Isles has more or less been the singular exception to the rule, and he was a Track and Field athlete..not a gridiron star. Rugby Union is one of the most skill-intensive codes of...

Why was JOC (James O'Connor) flying to Bali in the first place when we are going into the last break of the TRC after barely beating Argentina?

We'd be very lucky to have B. Barrett starting at no.10

Don't forget you need someone in the squad who can remind him what a good line out throw is supposed to look like as well.
