I thought the previous system worked best. Derbies both home and away woth each team playing three teams from the two other corresponding conferences. Conversely, we could do the two conference thing. The Atlantic and the Asia Pacific. It's likely Argentina will be looking for a 2nd franchise...

The Spanish Copa Del Rey now officially sold out. Still a fortnight to the game. Receiving coverage in both the local and national press. There now a push to move the game from being broadcast on tape delay to being live and involving a TMO.

As for the game itself. I was really impressed with the pack. Apart from the odd scrum they had the wood on the students in most aspects of play. It was great to see.

My biggest issue with him is that most of the niggle he brings is totally unnecessary. I understand that he plays with passion for his club but he needs to channel that more constructively. He still has a bit to offer at grade level even if he's getting on a bit. By playing the arsehole he's not...

Call me reactionary but show Gibson the fucking door now. Concentrate on blooding new players for the rest of the season. The Tahs are rudderless. Their skill execution is worse than shit and even though they sometimes use the rush defence its so fucking passive. Seriously. They don't seem...

Is that even legal? Can a club effectively solicit business for a sponsor by forcing members to take up these loans which by the say aren't as simple as the quote suggests.

ProRugby's ace in the hole is their USA and World Rugby sanctioning. Which while not essential makes life a lot easier. A lot still has to go right for these other two groups to be even to the stage of announcing anything. I suspect one might be United World Sports (the group that runs the Las...

And yeah, I did write an article about it a few weeks back. Will likely doing another the week leading into the first game as well.

There's been a bit in the media about the sell out for the Top 14 that will be held at Barcelona's Nou Camp (98,000) recently but another significant story for the Spanish game has received a lot less attention but should be acknowledged. VRAC and El Salvador will contest the Spanish Cup Final...

Neither. I have had an interest in the going's on in the States for a while now. I've been active on a number of message boards based on USA Rugby and have managed to connect with a number of the Rugby media over there. To the point that I'm on a number of their mailing lists and some even know...

They've also publicly stated they want to double the leagues size in year 2. They had issues will facility availability or suitability this year so had to forego a 6th east coast franchise. Those issues will be resolved next year evidently. So I'd expect to see a New York and Philadephia enter...

Very true. Pretty much everything seems to be set now. The squads have been training for the better part of three weeks now. Tickets are on sale and while not detailed as yet at least two locations will have local TV coverage and there will be league wide streaming available. They've adopted a...

Yeah. He's playing out of San Francisco. There's also another former Shute Shield player in Harry Bennett has signed on with Sacramento. The Batger brothers are also over there playing for the Santa Monica Dolphins (same club as Bennett) in the Pacific Rugby Premiership.

Shhhhh................an inconvenient truth.

I wasn't actually getting angry or annoyed. There wasn't and still isn't any point in doing so.

That would suggest that I had some preconceived idea about the state and its population. Which to be honest I didn't. Outside of Perth being the capital and what I'd seen of the WACA on TV I had no idea. I didn't hate my time there. Enjoyed most of it. Still have close friends in Perth. But I...

I think you need to look up xenophobia. Last time I checked WA was still part of Australia. Additionally, I spent three years in the state. Managed to get around a bit and yes, these conversations happened.

The NRC had been secured for the next 5 years and you'd have to imagine will feature in future bundles as well.

Which has me questioining how they've come to the determijation that either Ryan or Tilse were better. Neither offer anything in the scrum and are arguable more useless around tbe park. Ryan has major issues at the scrum and has had them for a while. Yet hasn't appeared to address it. I know...

Something people who haven't spent anytime in the West seem not to realise is that the whole blaming of the ARU is just the continuation of the West Australian narrative. Sure, in the east we identify to our state and tend to throw barbs at others. NSW and QLD, Vic and NSW and so on. Ultimately...
