Well just something of interest Twiggy looking at buying Virgin, now that would help with travel costs locally.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/300001193/time-to-close-the-door-on-super-rugby Hell, looks like even the Kiwis want to go domestic.

I think we do have to look at the A-League, why is it struggling so much. Because every-time we mention a domestic competition for rugby the A-League is brought up as a comparison of why it won't work. If we start a domestic competition, would it be any different from the A-league. What could...

I would argue that it doesn't just have to be open slather. You could restrict imports to say 1-2 players per team. It would also be reciprocal, introduce a semi draft system. The point is to introduce a system that is beneficial to the competition not suit a specific country over the other.

That was pretty much my point they need to address the format of the game moving forward, and content is a huge issue. Even before this whole co-vid issue, the CEO of the Waratahs said next years super rugby format was financially unsustainable for the Franchise, so whatever money said...

Good old windy Wellington, you can't beat it on a nice day. But its literally Hell's gate on a bad one.

The worst thing they could do is some half-way measure, to put Super rugby on hold in the vain hope of coming back to it in a couple of years down the line would just about kill the game here. Yes this year may have to be a bunch of scratch games, but from next year the competition format...

Well haven't they acted well on behalf of the fan base for the last 20 years then. Maybe transparency is the word i should've used.

"This has not been an easy discussion, but it has been a necessary one to ensure that we are able to emerge from the other side of this crisis in the best possible position for the game to move forward," RA chief executive Raelene Castle said."It is important to note that these measures are a...

Historically wasn't Australia not really having a domestic competition along the lines of CC/Mitre 10 part of the thinking behind Super rugby. Also economically it has always suited NZ to have 4/5 professional teams. But moving forward, there still does not seem much desire especially from the...

If Pichot can get the World league up and running which includes the expanded RC, then who needs an unpopular/unwieldy & expensive Super rugby team.

https://www.planetrugby.com/no-bailouts-for-sanzaar-nations-agustin-pichot/ So if they are looking at reviving a league of nations style format, then Super rugby becomes just that much more unwieldy & prohibitive. An expanded RC/league of nations championship would render the Jaguares a...

look some of the stuff this guy rights is waffle, but theirs a lot to like about this one, isn't this all about the top down approach of the game here. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/never-break-the-chain-how-fleetwood-mac-can-help-rugby-rebuild-link-to-fans-20200415-p54k5c.html

I made a comment that I did not think she has handled the pay situation well considering a week after she then has to adjust it further, my point was the perception of that decision. "she really fucked up there' play, is quite frankly retarded. Maybe we can keep the discussion civil.

By staff, I meant players for god sake.

Then the board should have been more perceptive to what offer was to be made to staff.
