I have no inside knowledge. RA don't want to go broke. The most likely way that happens is the super rugby teams perform even worse than now and state unions have to be bailed out. The most likely way super rugby teams would perform worse is if Twiggys comp signs a bunch of super rugby...

The clubs do get compensated by the RFU for losing their players during international periods and also get funding for player development. It's a couple of million per club per year I think. Tv deal is around 4m GBP per club each year Club owners, through interest free loans that are likely...

Is it a sellout? Can't buy any tickets at the moment Edit - nope. Just ticketek gremlins. Plenty on tickets available

He won 1 out of 10 lineouts on the weekend. Played 52 mins Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

If so, he's smart enough not to tweet those views out loud

Is it anyone's fault? Skelton didn't leave because he wasn't wanted, he left because Saracens were willing to pay him more than the Tahs could (in the absence of a topup). Same goes for many other players. Skelton may well have got his act together here in Australia this year.

It has to be by design - and Foxsports must have had a say in it, given they pay for it. So why do Foxsports want games played at the same time?

Lots of matches appear to be being played at the same time across the season. That would have to be at the request of the broadcaster wouldn't it? Why would Foxtel want that? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Are these contracts getting bought out? Or are the Euro clubs just playing nice?

Not too surprising given the teams and timeslots, as well as Shute shield gf, but neither NRC game snuck in to the ratings - both less than about 35k Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I'm not as familiar with Sydney, but I reckon you're over rating the support base of the Queensland clubs Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Always interesting when we despair over the state of Super Rugby to see what crowds the "successful" competitions are getting. First round of the premiership in England was this weekend Bristol drew a healthy 26k, but the remaining 5 games had 13k, 11k, 7k, 10k, 7k. Average of around 12k Pro...

To'omua started at 12 and played 67 mins and TPN around half an hour in the second half while getting pumped by Nic White's Exeter 40-6. So back on the plane for those guys. Think it'd be pretty unlikely that we'll see either of them in the starting team this week given they will only be back...
