The Highlanders host the Woodies in today's televised game. Happy days are here again!!!

As many as it takes, I imagine. The more the merrier.

I doubt that anybody investing in rugby can expect to make money, even in countries where the code is comparatively more popular than it is here. At the end of the day, if those of us who love the game are not prepared to pay, one way or another, the game will not survive as a fully...

One thing is for sure. If we are facing the abyss, our minds will be wonderfully concentrated. Maybe, just maybe, we will all work together for a change, top to bottom, side to side, and back up again.

Jordan Uelese played for the Highlanders, according to today's "Hurled".

Fark.

Who does the scouting for the Tahs?

Illegal abortions, sly grog, SP bookmaking, 6 O'Clock closing, adultery as the only feasible way to get cause for a divorce. Oh, and homosexuality was also illegal. Anybody who looked like a p******** could be bashed on sight. And thrown over a cliff, if one was near.

Relegation and promotion might be a tool that could be used to include the best performing district clubs. One thing that is certain, the district clubs are repositories of tradition, and no serious domestic competition is going to be successful without a large element of tradition, and...

Sidelineview, I was not talking about his money, I was talking about his public stance when it comes to living out his faith. As for bigotry, please explain whether people who are same sex attracted are born that way, or do they just wake up one Saturday morning and decide to be gay? If...

Yep, that's the thing. Hard to argue with somebody who has these beliefs. As I have said earlier, he would have a lot more credibility if he was living out his faith in actions that help people in need, rather than using words to attack others (as they see it).

The end of the world is nigh, apparently. Explains everything, if you believe it. Mind you, there are at least half a dozen of these predictions current at any time. Just google. But we are still here.

As others have said, our stocks in the second row are better than they have been for many a long day.

One thing I am pretty sure about, and that is that Japan rugby and its machinations are not all that easy to understand, or predict.

Sadly, if the Corporates believe there is nothing in it for them, nothing will happen.

I have always assumed that it was Jake White who taught the Bumblies to maul properly?

I think it is true to say that rugby in Japan is beholden to the corporations who own and fund the clubs. All the players are company employees, or used to be, I suspect that this would still be the case.

Or just rugby (other than internationals against the Darkness, the Oirish, or the British and Oirish Lions)?

Just like the ARC being introduced during the lead up to the 2007 RWC.

Impossible, if the participants are not all Australian teams. This is an incredibly complicated competition to schedule, that seems pretty obvious. A Trans-Tasman competition would be simpler to schedule, of course. But that is not on the table at the moment. A fully domestic competition...
