I'm confused, why are you comparing crowds in the NRC with tests in NZ? Australian teams only drew a couple of thousand to the Grand finals. Nobody is suggesting playing a club grounds, all I've heard discussed is Townsville, Gold Coast and Parramatta all more than 15,000 capacity (I agree, I...

if just on Fijian population then it will be Western Sydney

Dan, I agree with you :eek: I think the Super Pacific will stay around for a while yet. I regards to the US & Japanese involvement if think it is more likely in the form of a Champions league type set up involving MLR & Top League, potentially down the track also SLAR.

I want any player to play for any team in the competition without prejudice

I thought I read somewhere that RA were going to allow selection from any super rugby side - it was a while ago and maybe it was they would be open to considering it. Anyway I think all countries involved should allow selection from any team in the comp. Australian from Drua, MP (Moana Pasifika) or NZ and...

It is strange...

Pretty sure he was still under contract - so they didn't grant him a release to join another team - slight difference. But yes it should go both ways

This surely must happen - it will give us something to watch while the test players train and have a week off between tests. Right in the middle of the rugby season it all comes to a grinding halt as we go from 6 matches a weekend to roughly two matches every three weeks. Edit: Not to mention...

Yeah it's not exactly what I had hoped for but I do agree Dan, lets give it a shot and be optimistic. I'm also in two minds about the finals but a top 8 does keep the matches meaningful and fans engaged for a longer period.

Without a medal there probably isn’t any money to pay him or the squad

Missing Chloe Dalton for kicking - not just for goal but kick-offs

The biggest issue with that result is we needed the USA to take care of NZ in the semi-final.

yes, read it the wrong way - if we lose we play Fiji & win we play GB

Looks like China are going to be 2nd best 3rd place at the expense of Canada (defending Bronze medallist)

That means if we beat USA we play Fiji in the quaters

By the look of it we play Fiji in the quarter finals :(

I think we needed to win by a large margin to improve on 3rd. May impact on our 3rd place ranking for finals?

Other than afternoon club matches in Brisbane (when other local rugby is on) or the SA Lions series in the early hours is there any rugby on offer? We really need something to follow up these numbers :(

I read somewhere that Dylan Pietsch from the 7’s is coming onboard after the Olympics.
