Sorry, how is this her responsibility. It was the SRU that pulled the plug. And this has been an ongoing issue for a long time. Well before her tenure. At least give her some time to fuck up.

Have you ever lived in WA? Because I have and can tell you them being dumped has probably been the making of them in regards to being backed by the state's population. West Australians are easily the most parochial population of any within our borders. Yes, even more so than Queenslanders...

They've spoken a lot about fan engagement at the ground. Which is a fairly big thing for Rugby. Not something we've ever really excelled at. Hopefully everything works out well on that front as it's easily as important as what happens on the pitch and will be key in maintaining these levels of...

Or link up with the IPRC concept and go that route. Start with our 5 plus a team from Japan, Hong Kong and potentially either Singapore or Malaysia and build from there.

Absolutely. Have separate divisional finals and Champions. The champions from each play one another in the overall Championship game a fortnight after to determine the Super Rugby Champion. Final hosted on a rotational basis between divisions. It's actually the model I suggested on another forum about...

Another option could be to split the competition into two divisions. An Asia-Pacific and an Atlantic division.

Short answer. No. At least not for those involved in the two Americas based ventures. Perhaps those involved in this planning stage for SANZAAR might like to think that's how it will work out but that only suggests that they haven't been talking to those on the continent at all. MLR has every...

An option for SANZAAR that no one is looking at is the new South American league set for 2019/2020. Depending on the overall sustainability of the number of teams in that league (it current looks set to launch with 10) it could be a source of another conference.

MLR will be a 16 team league in five years from just the current interested parties at present. New York and Dallas are confirmed for next season and it's expected Ontario will be soon after the season ends. There's even still the chance Chicago will be ready for next season. But at the moment...

Most people calling for a domestic competition are talking more about one that fits in better with our time zones than having to exclusively be based in Australia. That doesn't necessarily mean contraction. Just re-orientation. In regards to the US. MLR has launched and has growth plans...

Domestic or timezone based followed by the 16 team knockout Champions League set up would do nicely in my opinion.

The "fans' Championship" is essentially the equivalent of the NFL's Pro weekend. Honestly, the US isn't an option at present. Not with MLR up and running. Really cannot see it happening unless it's in some form of Champions League set up. Robinson is pretty entrenched with RA so we can all...

1. No way are clubs offering 15 year old's 50 grand. 2. GWS is still costing the AFL a bundle.

The way it worked in the Varsity Cup was that it had to start in the 22m and not brought back in order to instigate it. I assume it will be the same here.

No idea on the strength of the Fiji team. Hopefully pretty close to the full national team if possible. As for watching it. It will be shown on delay via Fox Sports and there is supposedly a FTA component as well. Other's mentioned that Ten has a two hour block between 8:30 - 10:30/11:00 on...

It is. Perhaps as this isn't a WR (World Rugby) event they aren't permitting to overtly display WR (World Rugby)'s logo and branding.

It actually fits with the UAR's plans on developing a deeper field of professionals in the country to complement the Jaguares. They dumped their provincial championship this year in favour of the club championship but stated they intended to push for a more professional club structure. Which was...

Round two of the inaugural MLR season concluded over the weekend. With San Diego overcoming Utah 31-24 at home, Glendale holding off Seattle 14-19 in Seattle and Houston accounting for Austin 50-38 in Houston. So far the games have been pleasing on the eye with the Seattle/Glendale being a...

Friday.

55-15.
