Thought we made a mistake by taking Naisarani off, his go forward was good. Leota good but still looks like a 6. Uelese very good as well. Magnay very good, for me the MOTM for the Rebels. Let’s keep this team for next week and build from there.

There is actually 5 teams with a worse win percentage. One Aussie team is in that 5 ;)

Rugby Victoria has launched a public schools trophy for the first time.

Actual times for us are 2hrs earlier if anyone is confused

It’s not the Angus Bell people are thinking it is. It’s a Tahs development player that plays fullback/wing

Philip also increasingly becoming unavailable because his team is the most likely to be involved in the relegation playoff

Looking like no French player involved in the Top 14 finals will be involved in the tour to Australia. This will dramatically weaken them

Issue is if you play Ili it’s a backline of midgets lol. Honestly the body size difference against the Blues last week was ridiculous

I just don’t understand Leota at lock, the lineout last week was ordinary and the scrum got mangled. Also it should be Lomani or Tuttle not both, just makes no sense

Anderson essentially done for the year. Joined 7s squad for a tilt at Olympics.

Didn’t let him go. He would of signed on but the contract freeze last year stopped him renewing. So signed a short term deal in Japan when clubs were not allowed to re-contract players.

Previously nobody got a prize

I think people fail to understand that a fully fledged TT comp won’t be 22 weeks home and away plus finals. It’ll be 16 rounds play your own country teams twice plus one pacific team twice and then play the other countries teams once. Which is exactly what we have this year (minus pacific...

Nothing wrong with a 5 team comp if you play another 5-6 teams during the year in another comp.

He was sensational last year in SRAU and the 1.5 international games he played and great this year for the first 4 matches and then poo for the last 4. Just need to go back to the GAGR team of the year votes for both years to see how well he’s played sometimes

The only reasoned argument in my mind for a fully fledged TT comp (which we know isn’t going to be a home and away as NZ won’t sign up for 22 weeks) is the international broadcasting dollars argument. SRAU will attract less international $$$ initially as its perceived as weaker and if its...

Can someone please explain how playing 4 different teams over 8 games is boring. It’s not like you’re playing them 4 times over 16 games. Also considering you’d then play 5-6 other teams in another competition during the year. So effectively playing the same amount of games as you used to...

I think the Rebels desperately need a player that can get post contact meters. Without Pone and Naisarani the team has almost no player that’s going to dominate collisions. Normally you’d combat this with players that have quick feet and speed however there isn’t any of that available either...

No on the MLR. Their zone is in the americas. We should all be wise enough now to realize how bad and unsustainable forcing viewing times in the modern day just doesn’t work. 9am Sunday might seem like a solid time slot for the hardcore fan, but marketing wise it fails the test on building...
