Mate, Melb City are owned by the same group that own Manchester City. They have been able to build that facility thanks to the owners literally having money to burn. Also, I've just watched the video. It looks fairly standard for professional sports these days in most developed nations. If you...

Wait, so we have the two NSW squads playing off in the final and Vic and CS in the 3rd/4th place game. Where have the QLD teams ended up and have either the Vic or more surprisingly the CS boys finished above either of them before?

Well considering the Tahs have 'Team Tonga' in their ranks perhaps they should look at heaing out to Nuku'alofa.

Personally, I think that would be the most ideal solution in the interim. At the very least try to take one game a year to each of the Islands.

Very little about it has been released. From what I have read it appears to be coming out of the FRFU itself. If I find out more I'll pass it on.

I can almost see the little grin on your face as you typed this.

At the elite end of the spectrum. Yes. But the beauty of 7s is that you can have difference classes and divisions in which to compete.

The clubs could always organise a 7s circuit to fill the gaps.

The Fijian proposal has the team being primarily based in NZ and would take a couple of games to the Islands each year. You'd imagine it would be Auckland with it being the 'biggest polynesian city' in the world.

Good to see I'm not alone in my thoughts on how poorly coached our U20s squad was.

I know. I was referring to his time at Gloucester.

I remember wondering a little while back what had happened to Meakes. He was always a standout a club Rugby. Big, strong etc. Good to see him get a crack at professional Rugby and even better to see him coming back. Would be a good get for the Force. Though, as a Tahs fan with the loss of Beale...

My understanding, at least from what my cousin who attended Hurlestone is that the entire school is moving from its current location to somewhere in the Hawkesbury region of the city.

There's also this article by Gregor Paul ( http://m.nzherald.co.nz/gregor-paul/news/article.cfm?a_id=196&objectid=11667796) which briefly discusses both the US and Spain. Hawaii would be an interesting out of the blue choice on the face of it. Honolulu is the centre of a metro area with a little...

Well, according to the speculation the team would be based in either NZ or Aus with a game in one of the PI teams each.

Here are a couple more this time regarding Fiji. Evidently after the success of the Chiefs/Crusaders game the Fijian Rugby Union are set to begin a push to enter a combined PI squad in Super Rugby. Additionally, they are also keen to get a squad playing in the NRC.

Yeah, he's been very impressive. Also plays with a pleasing abrasiveness that has often been wanting in Australian forward play.

Yeah, it's 15s. Don't know the motivation but providing players with higher levels of competition would likely be high up on the list. A Spanish official evidently let slip about it mentioning that they are looking at each nations having two squads each.

From what I can tell it would be another 7s circuit akin to the World Series. No idea how many teams or locations. You would have to imagine that it would have a promotion/relegation set up with the WS. Hopefully they manage it. Would be good if they can manage to get more nations involved.

I think it's to come into line with the trial laws WR (World Rugby) has initiated across different competitions worldwide.
