Don't like that Phillips still gets a game for Wales. Very very 1-dimensional from Wales, England played good rugby in the 2nd half, but they didn't really need to.

Unless the Club views him as no. 5, and Gillespie/Metcher as development options. Of course, I'm not a recruiter.

BeIn only has the Challenge/Champions Cups though, no coverage of Pro12/EngPrem/Top14 as of yet, albeit Eurosport has the latter ATM.

Probably sign Ben Whittaker as an injury replacement, think he's currently training with us.

The fact that we got Toby, Cruze has come good, Gillespie was available and Fereti is waiting in the wings means that the loss, in terms of playing, will be less heavily felt. But he seemed like a ripping guy, based on what I'd seen and heard. Glad he got his opportunity in England again.

Hopefully we can start bringing through some Vic youngsters too. I mean, fair enough, there weren't many, if any in 2011, and we've had few successes in leading Victorians home, but hopefully U20s and Schoolboys from the last few years have enough talent and potential so they can be full...

C Mm

Gives a little bit more depth to the stand offs, given we've really only got 3, could also give him more game time at both Soup and NRC levels, if Nicky is a future captain.

Why are the country sides separate from the city sides?

What's that, 35 players? Potentially 1 more left, international or otherwise. Ah well, looks like another reasonable signing.

Another odd squad from Mr Cotter. Killer Bees well and truly out of favour, but picking both Hidalgo-Clyne and Pyrgos ahead of Cusiter is the strangest one for me, unless he's picked up a knock for Sale. However, it's worked so far, no reason to lose faith.

Reckon something like: 15. Crawford 14. Shippers/Kingston 13. Ellison 12. Aussie Mike 11. English 10. Hegarty 9. Stirzaker 8. Higgenbotham 7. Fainga'a 6. McMahon 5. Jones 4. Neville 3. Weeks 2. Horie 1. Smith 16. Sexton/Leafa 17. Cruze 18. PAE 19. * 20. * 21. Burgess 22. # 23. # * =...

Box hill Fiji FTW.

Ridiculously unlikely yes.

Ooooh.... Steyn. Sounds like a TT signing...

On Genia to Bath, they've already signed Glasgows Fijiian Internation, Nikolai Matawalu. Now, he is an impact player, and capable of playing in the back 3 as well, plus stringer is old as fuck, so Genia could still find himself there.

Is Mafi quick/Mobile enough for Sevens? Could try and exploit that loophole if Steve and the ARU are so inclined.

I meant go on their own. Scrap the Premiership/Championship split and do a double round robin.

If the Saffas dropped out, the Kiwis could easily just expand the ITM Cup. 26 weeks H&A, 2 weeks finals series, 3 week break for June Internationals, 6 weeks off for Rugby Championship on-weeks, 5 weeks for November Tours and a further 10 weeks for off-season/preseason. That's what I'd do...
