Assuming you have Jooste or JJH at 12, you'll probably get away with it. Particularly with the front foot ball the pack should continue to provide

Think the "unexpected benefit" that Turiniri is talking about is the one I've been spruiking: A greater understanding of how to play your own role comes from playing another one, and consequently is good for development.

There'll be no great revolution in Club Rugby bar getting bigger. French are restructuring. Federale 1 is going to turn from a Semi Pro/Shamatuer comp with 40 teams in 10 Conferences to a fully pro version with 16 teams, and potentially see the Top14 grow to 16 teams. England too are always...

Traditional timeslot. Continues the "winter sucks balls, we need events to bring us out of it" theme that Europe has, but is comparatively absent here. Boring part of Domestic football, with the Champions League being midweek. No GAA or Cricket issues splitting interest. And on top of that...

1. Cruze Ah Nau (Footscray/Melbourne Rebels) 2. Pat Leafa (Box Hill/Melbourne Rebels) 3. Tim Metcher (Moorabbin/Melbourne Rebels) 4. Sam Jeffries (Melbourne University/Melbourne Rebels) 5. Alex Toolis (Edinburgh (UK)/Melbourne Rebels) 6. Jordy Reid (Melbourne Unicorns/Melbourne Rebels) 7...

Not 2016, but Stacey Ili has signed a contract with Connacht. Obviously Auckland form got him there in the end, but good to see a non-Soup Alumni doing well.

Kuridrani to 8?

So: No official international period in June of the leap years for the sake of World Cup Recovery. British Rugby delayed by a month or so to allow Summer Internationals to take place after Super Rugby. Two smart moves given Summer European Rugby was never a genuine possibility. Just need...

Think the tyranny of distance (getting 23 extra players up or down) combined with the "Owners" only taking control of the Rebels, the Rising and the U20s means that it's unfeasible for now at least.

For Sefa, it was more that he was named on the bench then replaced with a backrower (Taufa). Don't think Toolis is a Blindside, would prefer to rotate the locks for the remaining games and start Fox and Rob. Jack had a few stuff ups, but I'd much prefer him there than Placid!

What was Sefa's issue? Just withdrawn? Hope the three of them are fit for next week, and Dom for the week after. Colby and Maddocks for me at this stage are: it's a bonus if their fit in time, but I'm not expecting either to play. Hope the Bip 10, Jack 15 gets persisted with, think it's good...

Diverging slightly, but I thought that the transition to LCD was also influenced by 1) relative lack of image burn into the LCD as compared to Plasma, 2) cheaper to repair screen faults like discolouration, and dead pixels, 3) relative cost, where you could get an extra 2-4 inches on an LCD for...

It'll definitely be interesting. Wales start with their new coach, and domestic players only. Then you boys play us, we'll be out for a little bit of revenge and a few of the non Glasgow Boys will be looking to impress Toonie. Les Blues in Paris is always a tough ask. Ireland in Dublin after...

Also can't deliberately throw or knock the ball into touch. Most leaguies, particularly those in the back 3, get carded in their first season or two (Vuna, Folau and Hegarty defo did, think 1 or 2 others have too).

When illicit streams are more live than legal ones, the problem is not with the illicit stream.

Northam is in the first year of a 2 year deal with Edinburgh.

Correct end result, quality performance from both teams. Hanigan, Figg, Gordon Deegan all very impressive for the Eagles IMO. Think we can afford to lose one of our Opensides next season, Tupai looks a real goer. Just wish the Refereeing had been to the same standard.

Fuck me. The ball gets thrown into Placid's chest and gets a card.

Bloody hell, Houston is having an absolute shocker here. Forward passes from us, Paddy Ryans hinging, Figg not being held, Leafa's not straights, the not back 10 that didn't get the penalty. Margin is correct, but that's in spite of the ref.
