So he should do the most carries AND hit the most rucks...lol Hitting a heap of rucks is not his role and that's not the ABs need from him. But sure, take the ball off best ball-carrying forward in the team and get him to hit rucks.... lol

How many AFL teams are in Melbourne? edit: Wikipedia says Melbourne has: 10 AFL teams 2 NBL teams 3 cricket teams 3 A-League teams 1 NRL team 2 Super Netball teams That's not including teams or clubs in VIC but not in Melbourne and not including motor sport

The reality is that Australia did not and does not have depth and quality of player stocks to field 5 teams. The Rebels should have never happened. I think they were given an exemption on the number of international players they could sign as well.

LOL....the memes are always funny :) Ardie is near the top of the lists for tackles made, runs made, post-contact metres....but people don't like that he screams occasionally. To each their own...

McCaw and Kaino were both in their mid-30s in 2015 weren't they? As long as Ardie is still performing, why would anything be wrong?

If only those 'tight knit rebels' could win games and get people to come and watch. I don't know that a 14 year old club that celebrated a 35% win rate as their best season should really be calling anyone shitty LOL

Nigel Owens: I didn't think the 20-min card as meant to change players behaviour. It was more about games not losing their spectacle because one team suddenly has a 1-man advantage after 15mins. If there was no change in behaviour, I would think that is a good thing because it means that a...

What? Don't the NRL know that they have to grow the footprint of the game and provide pathways and opportunities for professional contract of their game will die?!?! All of those league players will now head overseas....

What game does Australia have the players for? Rennie was too complicated, Jones was too much of a change, Schmidt is too Ireland....what is the game plan that suits the Australian player?

I'm still excited for the 2025 Super Rugby season!!

Oh OK.... so VIC produces the 3rd most - not the most or the 2nd most but the 3rd most - players who go and play overseas. Not Test level just overseas. Playing internationally not internationals. I see what you didn't there.... lol And now because there will be no more Rebels in 2025, those...

You haven't shown that the VIC market will be 'killed off' just asserted it. Just like your assertion of a 'huge number' of test players. You are incapable of articulating how 'growing' to greatness has worked. Was Australian Super Rugby better with 3 Super Rugby teams or 5?

Stop making bullshit claims. There is absolutely nothing purposefully dishonest about what I have posted. The claim was there are a "huge amount of Victorians playing at an international or test level." Rebelman has provided 13 names over 15 years. Even if I double that number, it's less than...

Joe Powell is from Canberra...

I ask for the number You tell me to 'google it' I give you the google results I'm disingenuous Why don't you just and be honest say that you don't know what the number is either....

Good for you. I'm talking about the Rebels because this is the Super Rugby 2025 thread and you keep bringing them up , for what reason I'm not sure because they won't be in it.

I'm told it was 3 on the weekend. So I googled "wallaby players from victoria" and from Rugby Victoria's own website there were: 36 in total 6 in the last 20 years 3 since the Rebels What should I google next? https://vic.rugby/about/about-us/history/victorian-wallabies

Right....you don't think kids are attracted to the team that is winning premierships as opposed to the team that celebrates 5 wins from 14 as their best ever?
