Bullshit - the AB's would never say no to playing the Boks because they were worried about getting smashed.

It's still not GRR...

I would much rather the Force & Fiji...

FFS just select a team and come or don't and lose $10 million. I'm sorry but using the example of the All Blacks from the 1940's is the weakest excuse there is - they were a weaker team and got beaten - it happens. When the Wallabies lost to the Boks by 50 how many people said we should not...

And the majority of all income of participating unions income for the year....

More positive rugby articles in the last 24 hours than in the past year... Maybe Fox are suggesting that they can play nice seeing there we are close to finalising a broadcast deal and they are really keen to retain the rights?

What about Temora, West Wyalong, Grenfell and Young juniors?

I think if they want to play matches in Australia they would also need approval from RA. Also, I'm pretty sure World Rugby wouldn't sanction the competition without RA giving them the go-ahead.

Fiji

Without knowing I assume the 8 respondents with an EOI in SRA would be the 5 existing with Moana Pasifika and Kanaloa Hawaii along with the South China Lions-BOP bid. I have read elsewhere that none of the 5 Australian teams entered a bid so doubt the Force would be included. RA should sign up...

Probably Twiggy's money too

Not according to the SMH Dan “In New Zealand, teams would have been forced into strict hotel isolation for four days. From days five to seven, they’d be in a bubble of 15 people. From days eight to 14, that bubble would expand to 25, which, as Robinson said, "makes it difficult for the way...

but only in small groups - in Australia the whole team can train together from day 1 provided nobody enters or leaves the 'bubble'

I think he was player of the match in the 2017 grand final and then recruited to Canberra (maybe Vikings???) Anyway I reckon the Phantoms would be disappointed with the choice of photo given he hasn't been there for a few years now.

What sort of a pay cut has be taken this year?

I don’t see how anyone can take an open border policy to mean that someone else other than the All Black selectors will pick their team. Only that instead of 5 teams to look at they have players potentially from 10 teams.

I agree with everything else but really this would be a very disappointing outcome, not that I can see it happening.

From rugby.com.au Clarke said Australia's plans had been discussed with the other countries and said his organisation was still committed to being a part of SANZAAR for international rugby. "I think the situation, partly driven by COVID, partly driven by individual countries' intentions has...

Yeah channel 7 didn't even mention it but spent time on the A-League, FA Cup and NBA, maybe someone at RA needs to let them know there is a competition on?

I don't get why they would - if their plans come off they will probably have the strongest league in the world, I don't think they are going to treat a 3 tier league of 30 teams as an 'NPC type thing' They may consider participating in a Champions league.
