Best thing you can do to rise through the ranks at this time of year is not play and get flogged by the All Blacks. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Two good teams there. Should be a beauty Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Bear in mind that SARU is just about broke (case reserves of $1m) and these comments were made in the context of justifying why they spent a (relative) fortune ($3m loss last year) on getting those two teams into Europe. https://www.sarugbymag.co.za/sa-rugby-in-financial-strife/ Sent from my...

Yeah I reckon in an ideal world you'd have Brisbane Ballymore South Queensland Robina Northern Beaches Brookvale North Shore North Sydney Eastern Sydney SFS Western Sydney Parramatta Canberra Melbourne Perth An other(Drua etc) 18 rounds + finals + byes gets you 26 weeks Sent from my Pixel 2...

When was the last time you saw To'omua play at 10 BR? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Premiership clubs doing it tough https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/aug/28/premiership-clubs-finances-sustainability You look at competitions around the world and it does seem like the key is finding a way for someone else to pay for your football team (private equity, pokies/clubs...

Ireland had arevenue equaivalent to $135m AUD last year and Scotland had $100m. We generate around $120m each year normally. They aren't really playing with limited funds any more. The timezone and market they're in are going to equalize a lot of these things over time Edit - rereading I see...

Cooper couldn't stop getting himself sent from the field at critical points in the match He will never again be picked by Cheika, and probably any other Wallaby coach. I don't support Thorns blacklisting, but have no problem with Cheika's Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
