There is a history of American football pod. No. 33 How football began - Who invented American Football For those wanting to know, American football does come from Rugby. He has plenty of random history pods like rugby in Brazil, Canada, etc.

If people are interested in AFL, Rugby, Football history you should all listen to Tony Colins pod Rugby Reloaded. He’s probably the worlds no.1 ‘rugby’ historian. - afl is not derived from indigenous games and is basically AFL propaganda as said above. - there is very little proof that William...

Article coming out tomorrow saying if the league season is canned, the Panthers are looking at a $40mil hole as they are in bed with so many leagues clubs with pokies. Could potentially see the whole Aus sporting landscape push the reset button from this. Could have a huge impact on future...

This situation is obviously horrendous for the game financially. However in a strange way we are in a better position than the NRL in many ways. Yes they have more money to lean on but they also have 16 clubs to take care of, we only have 4. If they receive $0 for television rights and no...

You’d think you guys are talking about some failed career and not someone that has been nominated for World Player of the Year, has won the John Eales medal and the Waratahs all time caps winner.

Normally I avoid these conversations as it would never happen and often pointless, but unprecedented times has created some chat in the newspaper today and it’s got me thinking what would a Wallabies ‘League’ side look like? Here is my team, hopefully it’s something fun for people to do by...

You do realise basketball, soccer and gridiron are the richest sports in the world. Secondly they didn’t develop a game, a company approached them to use their name to develop a game as there was millions to be made. Thirdly the A-League has the luxury of been associated with the Premier League...

If rugby can find a spare $30-40mil to develop a game then great. For example it cost the most recent COD $40mil to create and that was with a pre-existing engine to work with. Fantasy stuff

If there is an opportunity for domestic based games I’m thinking the following would be a good format considering the limited time frame that would be left. Aus domestic - 8 games (Force, Rebels, Tahs, Reds, Brumbies) NZ domestic - 8 games (Highlanders, Hurricanes, Crusaders, Blues) SA domestic...

I’d be drafting in Uelese, Fainga'a and Mafi. Uelese has just turned 23, Mafi turns 24 this year and Fainga'a turns 25. All have plenty of time on their side. Rangi is 32 this year, so unless he’s going to be our no.1 rake then I don’t see the point in considering him. Fainga'a should probably get...

Also a kick up the arse to Naisarani????? Again I’ll say to people, what game are they watching on the weekend? He’s been great this year. DHP has been in great form as well and Hodge has played 3 matches - two of which he didn’t make it to half time due to concussion and injury. Jake Gordon...

Yep, they need either a power winger or centre, prob better to look at centre with the good prospects available on the wing, and someone in the back row or at lock. The backrow is fine if there was big gain line options at 4/5 but unfortunately there is absolutely none in the team. It’s probably...

I’ll be streaming in a game of GRR this week. The more rugby the better in my household

Holland was fine in the final. We were a little harshly done by with some calls but ultimately NZ proved their rugby IQ by running down over a min of the clock with only 1 tackle been made.

Aussie men on in an hour in semi vs hosts Canada. Thoughts on Lachie Anderson getting a gig in Super Rugby next year? Looks a 13 to me and there is a team in Sky Blue that could desperately use one

In my eyes there are only 3 guys that should be in contention for the lock spots. That’s Rodda, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Philip, the rest are a combination of honest pros, experienced players with underwhelming form and young guys that will become good players but aren’t anything more than Super Rugby standard...

If he’s good enough then he’s old enough. As long as when/if he gets picked he’s the best player in the position that’s all that should matter.

Ramm looks good. If I was Clark I’d be calling the 7s team and heading back in that direction.

The QLD lock at the Sunwolves is probably the only one worth looking at. I wonder what Caleb Timu is doing in France? Also not sure if anyone keeps up with French rugby but Stade Francais is currently in the relegation zone. They have 4 Aussies that could be looking for a job if relegated...

Completely forgot about Samu. He’d be a given for the bench. Valetini is quality as well, wouldn’t lose anything with him in the side. Turning into a quality player.
