He might well be Super a Rugby talent. Where does that place to dozen or so players that outplayed him this year?

I would love to have a beer with the Woodies decision makers and the Wicks decision makers. Is one of them way off,or is the answer in the middle somewhere? I have heard Papworth on the radio a few times,and to say he was lukewarm about the NRC,would be dramatically overstating his view.

The players in high demand,will not accept what is effectively a performance bonus,when their alternatives are guaranteed salaries.

Those squads are now set. There is no movement between the squads now. In your scenario,the 3 from NSW gets injured.he is replaced by someone from the 1's bench,and a shadow player is called in to sit on the bench.

If it's a troll,they picked an interesting name. It's been an interesting few years for someone with that name.

Most posts mentioning his size,commented that he punched well above his weight,rather than suggest he was not big enough to compete. The posts about Mungoe and cycling were complimentary to him about him being multi talented. But back to the Wicks,it's interesting that they have played him...

Given the speedy elevation to first grade,I'm guessing he went well!

It will be a learning experience. Pretty big ask for this many youngsters, to be up against arguably the best backline in the comp.

Nothing so country as Coogee Oval is there?

Don't pick the chicken runners for two years and see where you rank. You guys will not be able to cope with being ranked behind Italy. Happy to see you trial it!

I agree it's not a level playing field. The only way around it is to have them trial as individuals,not representing an association.

Probably because they played the weaker sides. How many of the teams CCC played had players selected? ISA 2 had one player selected as well.

I think in the cases you mention,they are officially representing a yacht club,not a nation.

That's the difference,we're looking forward,and you guys are looking backwards. It's still nice for you to be able to say you beat the champs mid season.

Hammering the Tahs? Have you not been paying attention this year? I actually don't blame for taking your eye off the ball,it's hard work watching the Brumbies this year isn't it? the Brumbies are making less breaks than the Tahs when Foley was in charge.

I was right with you,until you inferred they took notice of anything at the fan forum!

Yep, that's if they do it in style and pay to accommodate local kids who could just as easy come from home every day. I'm pretty sure when the Opens were held at Ballymore in 2011 it was every man for himself,in regards to accommodation. If everyone pays their own way,it will probably cost less...

JOC (James O'Connor) went from a Schoolboy straight into Soup footy.Very few do that. Don't understand how it happened,as you say he was not a star in the National team.

Why is there a need for funding?

If it's on SS form it's 1 Nairayaforo 2 Cararro 3 Crawford I don't necessarily agree that Cheika would want a kicker like Crawford, against an expected long range kicking game. He might well want his back 3 to embrace the challenge and take them on with the ball in hand.
