Yeah, but both should be able to progress through the Pool rounds to the Cup rounds. I am looking forward to seeing some of the new faces in both squads getting an opportunity.

I don't now much about him but I believe Hadley Tonga is

I like the look of this squad. Hope they have a great tournament in Dubai and get themselves off to a good start on the table.

From a practical perspective, there is a facilities dimension to any 3rd tier competition that looks to develop players and grow the supporter base. Players should expect to play on good surfaces, with ample space to warm up. Assuming there will be both a mens and womens 3rd tier then there...

Interesting to see Michael Hooper looking to transition to SVNS and hoping to make the team for the Olympics. Targeting the Perth tournament as his first possible run if he can get selected

Aussie Women 7s win 4 and draw 1 against the NZ Development 7s, which will give them some confidence going into Dubai. A lack of precision and unforced erros from both sides will be a focus between now and December.

Some promising new faces in the Aussie Men's team getting an opportunity at the Oceania 7s, Were very competitive against both NZ and Fiji with both games coming down to a couple of kicks. Will be interesting to see the composition now of the Men's team for Dubai in a few weeks.

With the first tournament due to kick off in Dubai in a little over a month, any thoughts on the restructured WRSS format and/or Australian teams

I am reserving judgement until I see how he performs when challenged with high balls (which Georgia didn't do), and he demonstrates an ability to counter attack (as distinct from just kicking back) as well as inject himself into the backline as a potent attacking threat. While he was mostly...

Not if GPS also knocks off Bond

If the opening is still scheduled for this week, will it be a public opening? There doesn't appear to be any media associated with this.

Is the National Training Centre still scheduled to open this month?

Right outcome. Wrong explanation. Highlander No 8 never onside

That goes both ways. The stats indicate if GPS got all their kicks they would have won by even more.

Modern day League players greatly overestimate their ability. They are no longer professionally fitter nor are big hits limited to League. Not very many of them at all would succeed in Rugby Union - particularly League forwards and inside backs. As a generalisation it has usually been only...

GPS new clubhouse facilities to be officially opened on 24 Feb.

I believe the second tour match is being played as a curtain raiser for the Drua/Crusader game

The best teams at present win the majority of collisions in both attack and defence, which the Wallabies are currently poor at. In attack this provides better platforms for the ensuing phases and creation of opportunities, while in defence provides better opportunity for pilfers and counter...
