Hamish Douglas, founder of Magellan, one of the businesses McLennan is the chair of.

No I worded that badly. ‘Financial landscape’ would have been better wording. I’m referring to third party sponsorship becoming more prevalent, and probably outside equity for teams and/or competitions. Keep our players and crank up the perception of the sport and the broadcast dollars will...

Wing/fullback

I wonder if there’s any AOC (7s) involvement? I know that was a carrot that was dangled earlier. Not that I think the Olympics will actually happen next year.

Wing last 2 years but a move to fullback is likely.

That’s a good point, but I suspect it’s a sign that RAs financial fortunes are about to change..

McLennan’s employer is ex Kings...

Wow. That’s huge.

Or Scott Sio that can play all 3.

As Wilson alludes to it was the direct quotes by our one which were the pertinent parts. However he points out in the article today that the NZ Hurld said Australian rugby ‘was embarrassingly out of its depth’ by wanting to compete with NZ rugby and then highlights the most recent results from...

There is no clause currently that allows bringing those blokes back for the tests, so RS is still likely to get a gig.

That article is gold. Middle finger kind of stuff.

Yes I think 8 allowed on the bench, but only 5 subs can be made, except in the case of a genuine front row injury, and if that happens after the 5 subs have been used the front rower who has come off has to go back on, unless he’s actually injured too.

he was throwing a ball around at Jubliee Oval in Mudgee last week, I believe he joins the Brumbies this week.

Sound like RA are going to stick to their guns with 5 teams in any TT comp. Force are secure financially, Qld & NSW are untouchable, Vic govt invests heavily in rugby and would play a major role in RWC2027, leaving only the Brumbies which could be cut, which is the team most wanted by NZ...

Two proper wingers it is then. One of DHP, Banks and Maddocks will be 15, one will be #23, the other will be trying again next year.

This begs the question - for those who know a lot more about Dave Rennie than me, is he one that plays a conservative game, or does he roll the dice and play for the 50/50’s? Therein may lie the answer. Eddie rolls the dice but it went pear in the RWC final. Less pear the first time around...

So do most actual wingers. Name one who can attack and defend above average. I think that’s why most test teams have 2 fullbacks, defence in test matches is about territory, not tackling. Hence players with a strategic kicking game.

Could be at #23 though. Banks could be selected on the wing, has a motor. And DHP has been several times.
