For context, any rant can't really be about the Super sides playing shit, they don't sign the coaches or the player. If they were all competing in fornt of sell out crowds we wouldn't be in this mess

But he is a back ......................... prop rules clearly state if one gets within grabbing distance he is to be hurt

Melbourne also has decent sized stadiums Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

But Jones wants no Super Rugby

It will be an interesting argument. 1/ We are bleeding cash 2/ We are being propped up by the ARU 3/ There is little evidence that losses will change in the medium term 4/ The ARU don't want to fund you anymore 5/ We want to claim damages for not being allowed to lose money anymore

But how many are still there that made those original decisions? or would have actually made different decisions without the pleasure of 20/20 hindsight? Will a HQ restructure actually do anything except payout a few contracts and make few disgruntled happier to see further pain inflicted on...

nah, always hope (they have the makings of a good side), but best to wear a cricket box

It was always going to be patchy , the 'canes match is the perfect metaphor for this season, lots kids with potential, no great depth, so we play absolute crap for 40 minutes the come out and do OK Some weeks we are going to better and just when we get any resemblance of hope, we will be...

Why would any player be happy with the endless mistakes of the first half?

I am quite happy there was an actual reason for his display other than his form had gone down the toilet

But aren't the Japan games linked to their general tour? So the Japan flight is either via Aus or NZ

Whereas I just want a Super Rugby comp where they play each side home and way and we can compete week in week out

The Sunwolves play some bloody nice rugby in front of loud good crowds in Japan, why they then play in Singapore baffles me

You don't do this type of stuff without the board being aware, they might not like the outcome, but they would have seen the figures and watched enough games over the last few years to see something had to change It wasn't working, it isn't profitable and we weren't winning, the only reason we...

They know who is going, they just don't know how to spin such bad news, whatever they do it will be bad press. 5.05pm on the Thursday before Good Friday sounds like the kind of timing

Despite the good work Gordon was doing, Phipps drove the forwards better Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

It is always laudable to support refugees from third world countries, especially if they can play rugby

With both the Tahs & Reds, I think the issue is as much, too much loyalty as "bad" talent identification.

This is the perennial argument, whenever some clubchoses "A" over "B" and "B" does better, the sky is falling, whether it be Waugh over Smith, there will always be the one who got away. (the Eels in the NRL are always being given the same shit) Meakes when he went overseas wasn't any better...

Meakes is a solid pro. I think there is a misconception that every player must be able to score 100m tries stepping the whole team and smash in defense. There is a role for guys who put in solid, consistent shifts week in, week out. The Kiwi sides are littered with pros who do the basics...
