    Where to for Super Rugby?

    A domestic comp replicating similar teams/locations as NRC as the second tier is completely different to the NRC. Standard will be higher to start with given that the Wallaby squad are integrated within the teams. Bar possibly NSW and Qld all Super franchises have been "contrived regional...

    All Blacks vs Kangaroos?

    Easily.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    Double yes. It has been said here for ages. Given these supposed constraints then a TT is not tenable. Adam, probable outcomes - Aus franchises are further reduced, effectively or actually to only the teams wanted by NZ. This outcome seems likely though there has been no explanation by it's...

    It's not even rugby.

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Nobody watches it? I’d imagine viewing numbers would be higher than any 2020 Bled if it is handled in anyway seriously.

    Waratahs 2020

    ^^I see I have drifted the topic off thread, which is a pity as it is interesting. To get back on task, I’m quite excited to see Harrison develop. Has everything in front of him.

    Waratahs 2020

    Thinking through those numbers the importance of academy pathway seems a major issue. From the outside those pathways seemed less effective for Mason than they have been more recently.

    Australia domestic rugby 2020

    Perhaps, but Perth is looking good for a Bled.

    Reds 2020

    We had reached a point where the entire pack was very promising, more to the point our depth in the row had become a current and future strength. And then, Picone-esque, it fell apart. It adds a layer of additional challenge for sure, but surely with Brad we have the right bloke to deal with...

    Waratahs 2020

    Yep, I thought he was muscling up, too.

    Waratahs 2020

    I don't know about that. Sure I don't study Waratahs as much as I do the Reds, but I have felt that Dempsey is underrated for a while. Could become something very impressive. Let him fight for it, but don't write him off.

    KOB, I (usually) like your thoughts. But no, I’m not being righteous. Just reacting to sanctimony. It was unnecessary and a meme that is well over-played. It’s also way old. Time to freshen up?

    This really is the poorest of poor responses. To anything.

    The concept that I should be enthused as RA get involved, and the franchises cease discussion, is frankly amusing.

    Wallabies 2020

    4 is definitely overkill - but two home games each with the much needed income is a good thing. Let's hope the fans don't get blaze.

    Australian Rugby / RA

    I’m turning Baba. My negativity was on a steep down trend, but it is starting to turn to less steep. ;-) On a positive note, the Kiwis inviting Aus franchises, possibly including WA, to discussions is interesting. Perhaps they are starting to recognise that Australia has requirements - and that...

    No. No shadow. Moved on, yes. Disappointing, yes. Shadow? Nup.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    I didn’t think much of the Chinese ambassador stunt, but otherwise have great respect for the guy. I’m with you btw, some of the comments (skimming $ etc) have been below the belt. His appearance within the rugby world is 100% good as far as I am concerned.
