A great initiative and obviously desperately needed. The devil will of course be in the detail though. The Irish method seems fair. Only start 6 out of 8 games, off the bench in 1 and rested for 1. In an 18 game season it really only equates to rested for two games and off the bench for two...

That sure is a complicated way of doing things. I think he just fucked up.

Legends.

I want AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) into 13. The way he tore them to pieces in 2010 should have them fairly jumpy, he will draw two defenders all night hopefully creating some space.

Hope your right, but we have been winning ugly. The poms are the masters of winning ugly, I think they will give us a lesson in how to play dire and still win.

More here. What's the feeling. My tip is that we will beat the French and Italians, lose to the Poms and draw with the Welsh.

No, I like Beale, the exclusion was a typo, I meant for him to be at 15 (Harris just isn't an 80 minute player in two positions). But i'm not sold on he is the answer at 10. He has had a couple of solid games, but he hasn't proven to be the messiah yet. Barnes is significantly better IMO...

How's this for a roughie? 10. Barnes 11. Ioane 12. Harris 13.Tapuai 14. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15. Beale On a soft nothern hemisphere track Barnes tactical kicking could be a big advantage. Harris at 12 gives us another kicking option.

Wamberal nailed it. The only time rugby should look at a league convert these days is if they come looking for a game. But you must say, the NRL must be pretty stoked with their luck at the moment. SBW will undoubtedly draw in a few Rugby followers to see how he goes and Folau will do the same...

I hate the fact that our CEO needs to be a businessman first and foremost, but that is the reality we find ourselves in. We don't rake in the cash like the AFL, so the man at the top has to have a tight fiscal focus. The other thing we have to do different to the AFL is negotiate deal with the...

The team I'd like to see: 1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Kepu 4. Timani 5. Sharpe 6. Dennis 7. Pocock 8. Samo 9. Sheehan 10. Beale 11. Ioane 12. Tapuai 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Cummins 15. Harris 16. Moore 17. Slipper 18. Alexander 19. Douglas 20. Palu 21. Hooper 22. Barnes 23. McCabe I personally think that...

Haaaa, it would be epic. Can you imagine, the French fans would probably be supporting the Wallabies if we turned out a pack like that.

I'm sure it is well done, but most blokes on here (probably 99 out of 100) only have a rudimentary understanding of the rules. Look at the passage below, i'm not sure if this passage makes things clearer or the opposite. Let the IRB near something like this and you will need an advanced...

Hmmm.... well this reflects well on Robbie.

That gives us no jumping options in the 3 backrowers.

What a waste of time and money. Blind fred could have seen how it was going to turn out. The AFL doesn't care, it got it's advertising in Sydney's west meanwhile Folau wastes 3 of his best years.

I never mentioned Pat McCabe or any other player? I was commenting on Quade and his punishment. I hope if Pat did something as stupid as Quade did he would be given another shot. But the ARU doesn't have the luxury of cutting off their nose to spite their face. A good compromise usually leaves...

Is it worse to be wasteful or cynical? That's alot of talent and potential to throw away to make a point.

Meh, it's all about perspective. I personally think the punishment was mid range and quite adequate. The truth is the ARU still want him in the game and if they had put the hammer down on him they ran the risk of driving him out. Though I wouldn't have minded seeing a community based...

I think the idea for an unwanted but previously capped international being able to move to another nation has merit and deserves serious consideration by the IRB to help grow the tier 2 nations. The mechanism could be very simple. Something as simple as meeting two conditions. 1. The player...
