Aligning with the change in leadership. I suspect a lot of their investment programs are in similar boats.

OVO produced the John Dent coverage if I'm correct.

In other leagues. No. Not that I'm aware. Thanks mostly to increased financial opportunities in their own league and an emphasis on growing the standard of play in the league. There are at least two new teams coming online next season to bring the number to 8 and several projects ongoing...

Fully professional. I think it's a tad unfair to take their form in the ENC as a guide as they overall quality of that competition has risen markedly in the last 3-5 editions.

Overlooked Namibia. If Canada qualify I suspect they'll be entirely professional thanks to the inclusion of the Arrows and the likely signing of a number of Canadians by MLR teams. Hong Kong has a number of professional players from my understanding as does Germany. Kenya are somewhat semi-pro.

There was some semi-pro status in their 2015 squad but yeah mostly amateur. A lot has changed in Uruguay since then though. Most of their top talent are contracted professionals within the Union exposed to a full time training environment. I was just thinking about it earlier but this could be...

Lot's of really positive signals for sure. Interestingly I was listening to a podcast featuring a guy I know who is aligned with Houston and he mentioned the TV metric used in the US. According to him MLR saw a 50 to 1 viewer ratio. So for every one person in attendance they had 50 people...

Ontario confirmed for next season alongside NY bringing the number of teams to 9 in 2019. And both New England (to be called the FreeJacks whatever that is. It has Paul Revere on the logo) and Atlanta are confirmed for 2020. It's likely that they're will be at least one more added for 2020 to...

http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/09/25/world-rugby-women-rugby-championship Apparently WR (World Rugby) are considering looking to fund a women's Rugby Championship equivalent. Though perhaps not exactly the same in terms of composition. Personally, I'd prefer to see some kind of Pacific based structure...

The QPR 7s are only featuring single 7s squads. Not entire clubs.

Round 1 of the QPR 7s was run and won over the weekend and it has me wondering if or when something similar to this concept will occur in NSW. It could involve the current 11 Chute clubs plus a Suburban team representing Subbies. Could even look to include some of the close by regions in Hunter...

What was the turn out like? Really like this initiative. Hoping the NSWRU and the clubs can sort something out down this way.

I think we'll have to take what we can get at present regarding the women's game. We need to develop it more to create more depth and then an overall expansion of the Super W competition.

The Cranbrook one is spot on from my experience.

We have Latu, Fitzpatrick and JP Sauni. Do we really need a forth hooker?

Apparently someone is sniffing around the Pro14 now.

All good questions. I'd really like to see some more detail surrounding this.

According to this https://outline.com/aTD44w RA are looking to head off the like of League and AFL by bringing Rugby talent over three different stages starting from 15 years old and above. Thoughts?

My issue isn't about whether it's lightweight or not. It's in the technical aspects of play. I've always thought of Ryan as being comparatively weak come scrum time. For us to sign someone who he got the better of pretty decisively in the SS GF is a concern because if you are going to go with...

I watch Cricket and American Football. Which it is good for but unless GoT is showing I'm not overly interested in their other offerings you have to bundle it with.
