    Ideas for NRC 2015

    Bluntly, everybody contracted for a Super Rugby season should be playing in the respective NRC, as the kiwis do. An additional 15 or so professional players in the comp would certainly have further improved the standard.

    Aussie Player Exodus

    New Scrum rules have screwed up a lot of previously established rankings. Argies and Italians remain very strong as do England. Pacific Nations about the same. Japan is better. But for the Celtics, France, plus the old tri-nations, how much has changed for better or worse, is pretty subjective.

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    Everyone but Paddy Ryan needs to be in contention for reserve tighthead.

    Pyle already looks to be a stronger scrummager/Mauler/in tight for Stade. He's still strongest out wide and in the lineout, but those other areas don't appear to be as exploitable as they were for the Rebels. Hoping he's only gone the two years.

    Ideas for NRC 2015

    I'll admit I was focusing primarily on the Rising games, but weren't nearly all the games afternooners, if they weren't the Thursday ones. Albeit I think the Rays had 3 or 4 Thursdays, which fucked them a little bit.

    Wasn't it a cap, scarf, and then you could pay ~$30 for a top?

    Of Course, Grenoble is like the Brumbies European outfit ;)

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Rebs stayed longer this season, but that was because of back to back NZ games. Wellington did the same for their Australian games. Flew in to play the tahs, then moved down to Melbourne for the week, trained at Linen House Centre (St Kilda Training ground) before the Rebels game.

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    At Soup level, he should really play 10/12/15. Because his skillset is too good to pass up on the wing. At Test level, he's not secure enough under the high ball for 15, not big enough for 12, and not a good enough playmaker for 10, so he plays on the wing. Simple.

    Rebels 2015

    I think we've known for 2 or 3 weeks now. It does make sense. He'll not make the RWC squad in 2015, so 2 or 3 years on big cash, along with battling a lot of uglies, gives him the opportunity to come back in 2018/19 and have a red hot go at the Wallaby squad. Assuming he doesn't get injured...

    Super Rugby 10's tournament

    Looked like Les Makin, Ruarighdrae Murphy (shocking spelling) and Ruan Smith in that front row, yes?

    Rugby 7s general chat

    With Scots its more of the opposite. Backs and loose forwards mostly play both. If you look at a lot of the blokes in the squad, there's always a number of blokes currently in 15s, (excluding the Comm games, James Eddie, Richie Vernon, Lee Jones, Mark Bennett, Nick de Luca and a couple of others...

    HSBC Sevens World Series 2014/15 - Round 3

    No team cohesion amd general crap from us v the canucks. 12-14 a fair enough result.

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    Worded poorly. Bath are playing really poorly. But Montpellier are so bad its embarrassing to watch. Throw in some inconsistent officiating, and some that's objectively wrong, and you have a game where Bath should simultaneously be ahead by more, but don't deserve to be leading by 20 either.

    Northern Hemisphere Rugby Season 14/15

    On the Champions Cup, not a great game from players, coaches or officials. Obviously Bath are the 2nd worst team on the pitch, but they're not 17 points less bad.

    Wallaby 31 players for 2015 RWC

    The Darkness normally have 3 kickers: Fly Half, Dagg and Ben Smith. On top of that, Aaron Smith is a great kick from 9, and both the centers are half-decent field kicks. That's not to say Australia need plenty of kickers, but a third decent one in a position e.g. JOC (James O'Connor) on the wing, would be...
