That's a fair enough concern but that's why I think time with in the Women's 7s set up would be the most ideal. Actively involved in the game but with less physical intensity allowing time to develop. I know this is getting ahead of things here but I've now seen this young lady play twice and...

Don't think she missed a tackle all game against bigger opposition. She also put on a number of big hits on back at the Schools nationals as well. Quick, fast feet, tough and fearless. We'd be nuts to let her slip through our hands and into AFLW.

She's tough and can put a hit on as well. Surely she'll pop up in the 7s squad very soon.

Watching the game now. Courtney Hodder dominating at the tender age of 17. Not much of her but holy crap she can run.

I have been told that the HKRFU are investing heavily in youth Rugby with the goal to have practically every school in the city state participating in one form or the other in the next 5 years.

Haha.........probably.

How long ago were you living in Hong Kong?

And Hodge only being 1 point better than Godwin. Umm.........no.

Am I reading this wrong? Is it actually suggesting the Naivalu loses out to Peni?

The most obvious choice in my opinion is a Women's equivalent of the RC. Perhaps also involving the Japanese Women's team.

It is a shame particularly as they have the players sitting out internationals in support of the main backer of the game in the country. It's hard to find out the exact details. Apparently the financial backers (who owns Stade Francais) wanted more say in the Unions operations while the Union...

Talking about Spain. They are two wins away from the RWC. This weekend they play Germany at home with their King in attendance in a game they should comfortably win. This isn't the same Germany team that made waves last season. An internal dispute between the game's backer and the Union has...

I tend to think that the primary reason WR (World Rugby) has been as open to Forrest's IPRC concept is because it's planned structure essentially does this for the region in many respects. Meaning instead of spending the money to do something similar they can afford to back this Sth American effort. I agree...

Okay. More on MLR. There will be at least ten teams next season and if everything goes well most likely 12. NY are already known but apparently they will be joined by two more US based squads. Suggestion of them being both Dallas and Chicago who are/were founding interests in the league...

So, this has been confirmed as a thing. To be funded by the Unions, WR (World Rugby) and private sponsorship. More details to come. In regards to number of teams. It looks like it will be Brazil 2, Uruguay 2, Argentina at least 2 possibly 3 and Chile 1. There is some suggestion of Colombian involvement but...

Ten point tries and varying values of penalties dependent of distance are well. Silly in my opinion. I know I am the one who suggested them but the ideas I posted I believe would achieve far greater results in regards to ball in play than either of those. Probably the game's biggest issue is the...

Umm..........once upon a time that may have been true but those days are well and truly gone the way of the Dodo. Locks aren't just lineout winners and scrummagers anymore. They have to contribute with ball in hand to be considered effective. Without that they are more or less passenger in...

The 10 point try was trialled in the Varsity Cup in SA. I cannot see it sticking. There are a few things I'd like to see tried. A strictly enforced shot clock on forming both scrums and line outs. No more than 30 secs each. Same for kicks for touch. Give them no more than 15 seconds from the...

If I'm being completely honest. I'd rather NZ come with us on this and allow SA to head north. But I'm not as certain now as I was post Super Rugby last season about SA making that jump en masse to the Pro 14 considering the crowds for the Kings and Cheetahs haven't been wowing anyone. And while SA are...

I can see a Hong Kong, Singapore and potentially the Sunwolves entering or moving across to join the Aus franchises plus a Fijian franchise. Find a 10th and we'll have our own time zone friendly competition to compete in. Reaching out into what could (and should in my opinion) become a major...
