A couple of pages I suggested the “NRC” in March - June. I reckon only 2 each from QLD and NSW. I love the ‘counrty’ concept - but how does a team build a fanbase being the travelling wilburies... anyway minor details. 7 oz teams plus Drua. Is 4 games enough content? Would keep standard up a...

Balancing commercial needs with player development and retention issues is the true juggling act when thinking about the next phase for rugby in Oz. There is no doubt that Super Rugby has lost a large portion of the potential rugby fan base in Oz. So far the changes made haven't won any fans back...

TOCC. I would have liked your comment 100 times if I were allowed.

not great reading for those hoping for a real overhaul of Super Rugby http://www.nzherald.co.nz/rugby/news/article.cfm?c_id=80&objectid=12019608

Jeff Miller replaces Frawley as Chairman

Has anyone considered the Cooper thing is ARU driven? National coach has already shown he would select a winger to play 10 ahead of Cooper. The coach went out of his way to make this obvious. He will not be selecting him. So that leaves the ARU paying 2 years of high wage for a guy banished...

So Phil Kearns is being described as the leading contender for the next CEO of the ARU. Oz rugby is disappearing up its own orifice.

That draw is a crowd killer for the Reds. 4 home games in the first 13 rounds. How do you build a fan base around that??

Just when you think oz rugby can't get any more clueless, along comes this idea... just wow. Mind blow!

Oh cheers! Only one letter wrong

The hard part about club v NRC v Super Rugby is that as a society we tend to like our 'footy' played between march and sept - then we duck off to Bathurst for the cars, and then the spring carnival followed first cricket test... I know there's a global rugby calendar but domestically there is only time...

Interestingly, a Papworth led Eastwood is now sole controller of the NRC Rays

I love the idea of a national comp to replace Super Rugby. To be a success it should tap into any established team brands, fan bases, or tribalism it can. I love what the SS is doing currently in reinvigorating club rugby. However, for a national comp to be of a high enough standard so it can feed test...

SMH headline doesn't match the story it links to

SS isn't on the bris/QLD tv guide.

Wasn't have a go at the players. Just find the similarity of their departures interesting.

So Gill, McMahon and Magnay have the same manager... hmmmm....
