Wait, are you describing Twiggy?

Is there really?

Jones and Papworth? Fuck right off..........

The Wallabies did have a strong lineout for a number of years with a succession of good lineout players - Eales, Giffin, Vickerman, Sharpe, Mowen........ There were a couple of times in there when it wasn't so great (2009 - Mark Chisholm calling it), but it's really only been a consistent...

I suppose this thread'll do....... 10 year ban for this dickhead: https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/newcastle-rugby-player-banned-10-years-for-shocking-ref-punch/news-story/22d253f720073c63359c8aa309e84c33

Giteau's law as reported back then.......... The fact is that players in a hypothetical Twiggy league couldn't represent the Wallabies unless they've played 60 tests for Australia.

But what are we replacing them with?

Boudjellal is apparently only worth a measly 40-50 million euros........... In fact he's on the bottom of this list: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/rugby-rich-list-rugby-unions-5-richest-money-men/ But there are 5 European rugby billionaires on there........ and a few of them can match...

I'm not sure if this has been shared already......... http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/09/05/force-needed-twiggy-earlier-aru

I believe he's still eligible for us, but has signed on with the Crusaders long enough that he'll eventually be Kiwi eligible................

I highly doubt that........... But let's wait and see if Twiggy actually creates this thing first, and then who is involved......... but with the limited options of players and teams available I don't see the product being sustainable long term.

If Twiggy sets up a new competition, I doubt it will rival Super Rugby - he simply won't have the players or teams to do that......... but hopefully it will add as a placeholder for the Force brand in the interim, and in a year or two we will see a new revamped Super Rugby with the Force reinstated.

As mentioned in the past........... he wasn't interested in the game, just the networking.

But what defines it as Australia's most successful comp?

They've rejuvenated their traditional base and found fta success in a single market......... But how are all of those teams doing? The west is non existent.

To a limited extent.........

No, I don't believe it does.

Although I don't support the ARU, I simply can't lay blind trust in a character like Twiggy to be the saviour of the game nationally.........

All of these NRC level teams could hypothetically jump ship and join this competition........ but what players would they field? I don't think Twiggy's pipe dream could rival Super Rugby, let alone the NRC, as the options of teams/players able to participate would be very narrow and not of a...
