Scotland tried to juggle professional Club Rugby and Regional/Provincial Rugby (in Europe) at the same time. It was such a financial black hole that it was scrapped after 2 years, but led to the disbanding of the Caledonia Reds (yet to be seen since the 90s as anything but a select XV), the...

Pama Fou and Cameron Clark have been linked to the Rebels and Tahs respectively. Either way, I don't think it's perhaps as doom and gloom as you're framing it JM. Naiyaravoro will be back and will likely play for the Rams. Damian Fitzpatrick is rumoured to be on his way back too. Hilterbrand...

Veep too.

Happy enough with that. We were always light on going into the season for playmakers if any two of Hodge, Harris, Hawkins and Hdebreczeni (the H is silent) went down, and we've spent good periods with just that happening.

While you're not wrong, if we could bring in a Super Rugby Standard player, even just on a 12 week loan (Say, Maitland or Tikoirotuma from London Irish, or a number of others), I think it would be a good thing for our season. Could of course be that nobody would want to, or it could be...

Fucks sake. Think we need to be talking with the British and Irish Clubs about bringing someone over. Bottom 8 in both leagues have their last games on the ~7th of May, so there'd be enough time.

Likely Hawkins. Maybe Asquith. Fuglistaller if we go 6-2 split

Wildly Successful? Seems to accomplish the best part of fuck all from an outside POV, particularly with all that hogwash that was Paddy Ryan getting 10 minutes in 2nd Grade then coming off the bench and counting for nowt.

Just remember the day well. Had an exam the previous evening, so a late start. Few Scots were in the BILs line-up. Burgess was back from Toulouse and thrust straight into the starting line-up, with it being Stirzy's first Season and Phipps was with the Wobblies. Was thinking it was good to see a...

So I was right. Excellent. Like, not in a haha, suck it Rebels website/media guy way, just in a, I'm not going crazy way.

Just on the article. It says the last time we met the Cheetahs (Round 1 2014 Season) Colby, Sean, Bip, Toby, Tamati and Cruze all made their club (not Super, Club) debuts. Now, maybe I'm remembering wrongly, but I thought Cruze made his debut against the BILs in 2013, because that was the first...

Not the best thing in the world, but given the Stars' demise was inevitable, probably the best outcome. Just need to ensure that the Tahs get more than a half dozen playing NRC, and hopefully a small number of Rebels, Force and Brumbies players get in there too.

True, but there'd be very few players who'd turn down a full or EPS contract in another location, in favour of a training deal where they are. Someone like Robertson who's halfway through a medical degree. Blokes settled with young families. Blokes with say, significant business or other...

10 or 11 months out with a badly broken leg, then in that time, he's put on what looks like at least 6kg in upper body mass. likely needs to re-adjust his running style. I don't think he's match fit/had enough of a preseason to be starting yet either. As I said (somewhere) the talk about Box...

Back selections tough with Inman, harris, Shippers and Engo out. Maybe Hodge, Sefa, Ellison, Tuipulotu, Crawf, Jack, Nic with reserves of Bip, Hawkins and Placid/Matsushima/Asquith While I do think Sefa is hopefully becoming a Quality 13, with the 2 frontline wingers out, I'd prefer his pace...

Win essential to season. Dom potentially out with that knee injury. And Weeks looked to be in a hell of a lot of back pain when subbed. Toby should be back, which is nice, but we'll still be missing a number of important backs. Wonder if Matsushima or Asquith will get the call up. Placid has...

Nonu and Smith was still arguably the best combo in the World, even when Nonu was largely crash balling. His development in the back half/two thirds of his career simply made the two unstoppable. "Big" 12, creative 13 would work regardless of back 3 combination. Creative 12, "Big" 13 also...

Might need some Garlic. That's how Murrayfield did it anyway.

Pat got binned 3 minutes for grabbing the neck into the BH-PH game. Didn't appear to be happy about it!

Apperently it was 13 all at full time so they went to 10 minute Golden points. Arselickers. a draw is a legitimate result.
