Is Blake Enever injured?

How come Maddocks isn't playing?

Bring half the team home and train in Perth!?!?

True. No one destroys an opposition maul like Arnold though!

I've said this before as well. He's contracted until 2022 but with this Jack Maddocks swap it seems anything is possible. Surely the Tahs are in his ear and trying to lure him back!

I went with only the 2 to make them rep teams like State of Origin coming from the biggest rugby populations. Brumbies, Force and Rebels would live on via NRC whereas Reds and Tahs don't as Queensland and NSW need to be split into more teams. And I'd have just round robin with finals.

What I would like to see is the NRC expanded to be our main competition. And then a reduced Super Rugby with just the Reds and Tahs being picked from the best of the NRC players, competing against say 3 NZ teams (Blues, Hurricanes, Crusaders based on largest towns), Sunwolves and Fiji. So Super...

I'd forgotten about Tom Carter! He must be one of the longest serving Super players to not get capped?

Good news for the Rebels but I hope this doesn't mean I have to endure seeing him on the wing for the Wallabies for the next 4 years.

You guys certainly had some players come and go through the years!

But the scary thing is that it's not clear who the starting flyhalf for each team is! Could be any of the following; Tahs - Mason, Harrison, Beale Reds - Hegarty, Lucas, Stewart, JOC (James O'Connor) Rebs - To'omua, Deegan Brumbies - Pasitoa, Lolesio, Kuenzle

Makes sense. Thanks mate.

How do Wallaby top ups work? I just assumed you had to have been capped to get it!

As much as I like Deegan I just can't see him starting at the Rebels which will definitely hurt his Wallaby chances. To'omua last week was saying 10 is his preferred position and wants to play there. That's why I was surprised Deegan went to Rebels and not Tahs.

Will pubs show super rugby then if it isn't on Foxtel. Pubs in Perth usually have main screen showing AFL and then smaller screens with NRL/Super/ALeague. If it's not on in pubs then it's even more out of sight out of mind.

I thought that bullshit was meant to stop when we "shrunk to greatness".

Yeah the funding should be used to get rugby into non traditional rugby schools. Therefore more kids are exposed to the game and not just given the option of soccer and AFL.

Isn't he still attack coach at Rebels?

The press release said the following but I have no idea of the history. "Samoa also played this year, however, the 2020 team carries a different name and the backing of the Samoa Rugby Union."

FF (Folau Fainga'a) as first choice obviously. But what do you guys expect to happen with the order of the hookers within the next couple of years?
