BTW, former Scottish International Thom Evans is making a playing comeback for the UR7s invitational side at the non-series tournament. He retired after a severe neck injury in 2010, where he had to go through severe physical therapy, to the extent of learning to walk again. After playing in a...

If the SARU prop up the Kings sufficiently and the JRFU get the sunwolves coaching and playing squad sorted, that would hopefully get the deal done in a matter of days. Sent from my LG-P713 using Tapatalk

Good opportunity for you guys to get out of the cycle of 5th place.

DB, the Portuguese stuffed up and didn't get into the Repechage. Otherwise good analysis. Canucks the favourites, Samoa need to step up but can't be discounted, Russia 3rd simply due to series representation and Ireland the dark horse.

That's butt ugly. No offence. Most teams globally have had at least 2 or 3 stinkers, but that looks like they tried to emulate an international style top, with no elegance or tradition involved.

Creates debate is a misnomer. There wouldn't be many who'd disagree that the allocation of Super Rugby players favours the Rising, the Spirit, the Vikings, City and to a lesser extent Queensland Country, and could/should be readjusted. But at the end of the day, the Super teams pay the wages...

Seeding is a bastard like that.

Fiji boy has withdrawn from the squad because he's been capped for Sri Lanka. Somebody stuffed up administratively.

Schmidt-Cotter pairing come 2017, or Gatland, or promote from within?

Only 4 outright locks, one missing almost all of the season and one of them in his first professional season. Couple of those backrowers may be spending some time with their heads between some front row arses.

3 Hookers (Pat, Siliva, Chibba) 6 Props (Toby, Weeks, Cruze, Metch, Hagan, Cocker) 5 Locks (LT, Jones, Rettallick, Cummins, Jeffries) 7 backrowers (Colby, Fugs, Jordy, Sean, Thompson, Leota, Fox) 3 Scrummies (Meehan, little red, Snowden) 2 fly halfs (Jack, Hawkins) 4 Centers (Hodge, Inman...

If league players want to play Rugby at the Olympics, they can play in the Rugby code. Whether that's auditioning directly for a sevens spot, and playing in the World Series, or playing Super Rugby and dropping down it doesn't matter, but Sevens is a Union institution first and foremost...

Hope he works well. But not until after the 6 nations. Sent from my LG-P713 using Tapatalk

6 teams in fine to start with. If the Canucks put up 2 teams for 2017, that's 8 without any need for further internal expansion. Then maybe trying for another 2 teams to make 10 in 2019. 3000 seated stadium is fine, especially if it's as centrally located as suggested. 2800 people in a 3000...

Finding a weekend to squeeze ~5 games into will be fun. Couple of crackers among them too. The Toulon game and the Glasgow/Racing game. Sent from my LG-P713 using Tapatalk

I think so too, but it's been fun to have seen them lose only 1 match since yhey started about 12 months ago, using only the U23 academy boys. Can see them being potentially the most likely to beat the two series regulars, especially if they top up a little.

Ireland, Ireland, Together standing tall! Shoulder to shoulder, We'll answer Ireland's call!

It's interesting that there's such a difference ethnically between the PI nations, despite the relatively short distances. I mean the Tongans are a lot closer to the Fijians geographically, but genetically, they obviously share a lot more the the Maori and the Samoans than they do with the...

Well, for the European games, let's have an Aussies abroad update. Champions Cup Leicester v Stade Francais Former Tah and Rebel Peter Betham started in the 13 jersey for Leicester, and was denied a try by the TMO as they took the Bonus point 33-20 against Stade. For the men in pink Pat Sio...
