    World Rugby announce new law trials

    The definitions in Law 19 refer to touch and touch in goal so presumably this will apply to both. Your last point, will just mean a 22 drop out instead of a scrum where it was kicked won't it?

    France v Australia, Saturday 19 November

    The French have picked a pretty huge pack, lots of big lumps in the back row. However, the team is possibly even more inexperienced than the Australian side. Doussain playing 10 for the first time. Hopefully, the Aussies have all managed to introduce themselves to their team mates over the...

    All-Time Crim 1st XV

    New entrant for a prop position (Rugby "star" might be pushing it, but played Heineken Cup) http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/exrugby-star-ran-breaking-bad-crystal-meth-factory-a3398371.html

    Fiji into Super Rugby?

    BLK was surely the potential kit sponsor and potentially one of the multinationals

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    Duty of care extends to the tackler too though doesn't it? If players are getting concusessed while tackling (to an extent beyond some limit?), then the laws may have to change to address that. I have no idea what those changes may be, but Tuilagi's initial suspension in the world cup might...

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    Just doing the maths - 17% of concussions happened to ball carrier in the tackle 54% of concussions happened to tackler during a tackle 28% of concussions happened elsewhere

    Concussions and Protecting Our Players

    Think the interesting thing to come out of the study is that in the majority of cases it's not foul play, or head high tackles that are causing concussions - it's the tackler getting their head in the wrong spot. So protecting the ball career is important, and the foul play laws can be used to...

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    To be fair Peter people have been using Force Fans stats to promote Hooper or Pocock ever since he started publishing them. And its usually to criticise Hooper. Not saying you are doing this, but that's the background.

    Rugby News from unexpected places

    Will the owners of SANZAAR be happy to do any signifigant revenue sharing on the TV rights? Supplementary question, how much do Argentina and the other new teams get as their share, if anything.....

    EOYT 2016 - Possibles, probables and general banter

    So probably just one of the props, a second row, back rower and an inside back need to be there for both games?

    France v Australia, Saturday 19 November

    Still very difficult for kiwis to get the permanent visa required to gain Australian citizenship as far as I'm aware. There's been some changes recently but they don't take effect until mid-2017 We might be cutting off a fair old supply of our talent there Scrubber!

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Anatomy of our tries 1st try Pocock get a turnover penalty (good work by him but Kepu didn’t ever let go of the tackled player so somewhat fortunate – Richie Gray is taken off for a HIA after collecting a friendly knee). From the lineout, Arnold bobbles the take at 4 to Genia, who passes to...

    Thanks Braveheart, that's a pretty bad miss by me, reviewing a pretty bad miss by him!

    Scotland v Australia 12Nov16 Saturday

    Anatomy of their tries 1st try Scotland, desperately defending, get a scrum 5m out from their own line. Speight drops the clearing kick into Genia and the Scots kick the resulting penalty to just short of halfway. From the lineout, the Scotland 5/8 chips through and a flying Jones gets a good...
