Do the clubs get to keep the massive subsidies from the National sides under this model?

54 handling errors according to vodacom Rugby app - 209 passes made. Begs the question, why are those games still entertaining with so much dropped ball?

Was $30m wasn't it? I'm no fan of JON, as TWaS used to point out this money pretty much disappeared with the reduced test matches in 2007, 2011 and 2015 World Cup years, and the ARC. That's the mismanagement. Not planning for the lean years.

Quick look at the fixtures. Ireland will be 19. Three Argie games - up to 22. We'll be game 23, with Samoa number 24. Break the record next six nations. Some tough games through there but then there were some tough games in the 17 games before that.

England must be close to the world record by that game if all goes well?

One of the big issues with this team is (as always for Aussie sides) the lack of kicking options and skills. QC (Quade Cooper) was on one leg all game which probably had an impact, but once Frisby goes off, the team basically can't get out of its own half. Kerevi, and the wingers can't or won't kick (0 so...

There a clause in Regulation 17 (World Rugby discipline/foul play) addressing this The ref clearly thought it wasn't a strike (he kept referring to it as pushing throughout that part of the game) so he could have penalised/carded if he thought it was warranted, but he didn't. Thought the...

Its great to be back in a position to lose these close games again. Just like old times. For too long we've been so shit that we were never even in front.

That's clearly a tactic so tough to blame Frisby. Did you see how many times they ran in inside their 22 to just outside before kicking?

Should be a penalty for the tackle before that try. Brought to ground, knee down and he just gets back up again and takes another coupe of metres.

Reds getting all the calls here

Kerevi! Unstoppable from there

Ireland will be really disappointed with that performance I reckon. They built up so much pressure with wave after wave but then couldn't get through the Welsh defense. Lacked a fair bit of creativity

Chiefs v Hurricanes - 44k Brumbies v Force - 61k A-League - 48k Broncs v Cowboys - 879k FTA + 308k Fox = 1,187k Total

Kurtley getting parachuted back into the Waratahs is an obvious example of how the ARU could improve the fortunes of some of the other Super Rugby teams. The ARU top up is basically subsidisng the Waratahs salary cap. You could easily make the same offer $$$$ wise, contingent on Kurtley moving...

It's a meeting of the World Rugby Council. Robinson and Pulver are our delegates to the Council. Robinson's even a member of the executive of the WRC http://www.worldrugby.org/organisation/structure/council?lang=en

All of the World Rugby members are meeting in London at the moment to agree on the post-2019 international landsacpe. Presumably the SANZAAR meetings have been arranged in the same location to fit in with these. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=11814662

Massive ones, as it means we'll get England/Ireland/Wales tours once every 12 years (2 mid-year windows out + Lions tours)

There were lots of reports earlier in the year that there would not be an international window mid-year after World cups to give more recovery to NH players
