Got to be born in year - 20 (so 1996) or after and have finished schooling to compete in the Junior World Championships. While I can see Ineligibles like Tupou playing, can't see any overagers being allowed to play.

Probably depends what the 12-13-15 setup is. If it's Beale - Carraro/Horne - Folau, Horwitz is probably the front runner since he plays a lot of Inside center at club and NRC level. If it's Horne/Carraro - Folau - Beale, Hegs pace and experience at full back probably gives him the nod. This...

Thought that Dagg's "EPS" contract was due system holdover from the NPC. Since his domestic side (Hawkes Bay) isn't technically in his Super Sides Recruitment Zone (Crusaders), he has to wait till the 2nd round of contracting, which is supposed to be used to give priority access to local players...

Aviva Premiership, Pro12, Champions Cup, and Challenge cup (new names for Heineken Cup and Amlin Cup respectively), are broadcast by BeIN Sports, an Dubai based network that took over the contracts from Setanta when they went bust. It's slightly more expensive than Setanta was (~$18 rather than...

They're not on the list, but St Kilda were basically in the bottom 10 across the 5 big leagues in terms of Social media, they're now comfortably middle tier, we had a crap season. Played to the lowest common denominator a bit, but lots of memes, captioned photos, sillier match day commentary...

Two dads and Mitchell eligible but overseas and not a world cup or Lions year, Tomane moving overseas and hence ineligible after the Rugby Championship, Horne likely to return to the centers at the Tahs, TQN looking like staying in Glasgow, Cummins yet to announce a Super Contract. By my...

Biggest Road trip in 2015/16 European Rugby was Galway to Krasnoyarsk, the best part of 8000km. But yes, that's a one off. It's one of the biggest advantages of Europe. Players physical welfare is compromised by the sheer number of games, with a French side theoretically capable of playing 36...

They'll probably get it. Fox may be desperate for anything to retain football subscribers. BeIN has been buying up club football left right and center, ESPN seems to have a monopoly on the European internationals, and Optus went big and bought the EPL. They're down to 2 La Liga games a week and...

The Frenchies will be all over him if he performs anywhere near his World Cup Form. Sent from my LG-P713 using Tapatalk

Mafi is only on a 6 month contract for Bath. Bath were always looking for another 6/8 after they lost Fearns between seasons. Then they lost Burgess as well. They bought out Denton's contract from the SRU, and Faletau is coming at the beginning of next season. Mafi is just cover till he...

Are they the ones that were actually kicking short (OMG, Possession = good! )?

Potentially he could be a better McCalman, with ability to be the 2nd lineout jumper and able to cover lock as well. Best option IMO would be for Pyle to come home in June, so Jones can spend a few games at 6 before the Rugby Championship. Would mean a backrower (probably Thomson) missing out...

Italian league is King of the "Semi"-Professionals. Money there would be significantly better than NRC, with a standard somewhere between the NRC and the SS.

If he was just chasing money he'd have gone France, or Bath, or Sarries. A battler suggests he's serious about wearing white. Obviously the Not-Nots and the Falcons are in and around the relegation battle too, but there's still a reasonable risk of relegation there. Worcester gets him a starters...

I know Chisholm has business interest in the South of France, but he's playing in Munster ATM, has his family not moved? Sent from my LG-P713 using Tapatalk

Satchels are the way forward M8.

Looking to turn out for Ingerland then. The fact that it's Worcester rather than a Sarries or a Bath, or a French side suggests he'd be serious.

Ono is hardly a Spring Chicken, has been at the 07,11, and 15 World Cups, but yes he is a gun. Think the squad evidently screams politics between the clubs and the JRFU along with the influence of Eddie. A certain number of players are employees for their companies rather than paid players of...

Not bad. Probably not as good as we were hoping when they got first announced, but nonetheless, shouldn't shame themselves.
