30 year memberships in 1997 would mean a decade to go.

Need a win. Big time. The form of Ireland and France hasn't been overly convincing (pot kettle black?) So a win here, and a good one could set up 3 wins. Horne fit, Strauss fit, Visser fit. Hopefully Scott and Maitland too. He's not stupid enough to rush back Gilchrist, with Swinson a bees dick...

Couple of issues player wise it seems. Jones 0 game time. Sefa certain to miss. Stirzaker one or the other. Still looking forward to it. Hanson should improve both our scrum and our lineout if Weeksey stays fit to compensate for no PAE. Thomson straight in for Higgers helps too. Will be nice to...

This'll be fun. If I were an arsehole, I'd announce, today, that if you're currently playing domestically, you need to either be playing in the Super U20s, or signed for and made yourself available to play for an NRC side. That'd throw the cat amongst the pigeons, and be a good counter power...

He signed a contract till the end of the season there.

utr, I genuinely don't understand that argument. From an outsider looking in, Dargaville is easily the 3rd best winger at the Brumbies after Tomane and Speight. His utility value shouldn't prevent him from deservedly starting. All it means is you can play a specialist winger and/or gamebreaker...

Cummins had the opposite as far as I'm aware. He signed a 2 year deal in Japan, and his side over there let him play Super Rugby between Seasons. Lilo will have one between 2016 and 2017. Did Inman have one for us? Went on a World Cup joker contract to Toulon.

No, it's halfway between, the losing bonus point is still within 7.

SANZAR? Can the Frenchies play for the Lions now? "Oceania" rep team though. That I'd like to see.

Nasi over Thomson is an interesting one. Nasi isn't best 15 at Edinburgh. Thomson is best 15 at the Rebels. Either way, surely just saying Europe would make everything easier to compare. How well the Japanese based players are playing in comparison to their counterparts is difficult to figure...

The major concerns on the site re 2 opensides starting, not just the thread generally seemed to be based around either the assumption that they would be played at 6 and 7 rather than 8 and 7, which would have required dropping Fardy, one of the few players who could create the balance, and the...

If you can't fit in a double round robin, the undisputed king of sports, conference systems are the only one that are remotely feasible. It's almost beautiful from the South African side. Got the double round robin within their own conference so there's maximum opportunity for the double point...

Everybody in your partner Conference once (4 games for the Saffa and International sides, 5 for the Australasians), one conference from the opposite group once (5 for the Saffa/Internationals, 4 for the Australasians) and 6 games from teams within your own conference (everybody twice for the...

Got it wrong anyway. Jaguars travel to Tokyo. Will be even worse for the Sunwolves next year I'd imagine then.

Biggest difference between the two seems to be that the Japanese have the away match against the Argies. Otherwise it's ~1500km between the two.

The Blues would have been fine had we sent over/had available a decent side.

Relevant Game was on S4C, the Welsh language channel (welsh being Welsh can't simply say something like BBC Alba, they have to have their own name), so I turned on the VPN and watched on BBC iPlayer. EDIT: Been unfair to the Welshys there. BBC Cymrru exists. It's only an iPlayer arrangement...

It wasn't intended to be a negative assessment of the Reds lock stocks dru, more a comment on the relevant development of LLT. He's a player for the future. Along the lines of the original plan was for him to maybe get a game or two at the end after the JWC, with Neville, Simmons and Douglas...

The only thing I'll say is that you've signed Tui on the expectation that he'll have minimal gametime. With the 2 Wallaby incumbents and a quality Super Rugby player in Neville, alongside Adam K who can cover lock for a 10-15 minute burst. Whereas of those 4, now you're down to Neville and...
