You've got to wonder if it's genuine naivety or willful ignorance sometimes.

Isn't that the same situation as it was pre-Stan? You couldn't just get Fox Sports, you had to buy Foxtel and then the sports package on top of that?

Saudi is everywhere, if they're serious, I can't see how they don't get something

Saudi on Tob

That's a big fixture

Sometimes I wonder if people have social lives when they say shit like that.

2013 was a long time ago folks people forget the specifics

I'm much more invested in the European rugby and the esports world (much to the detriment of my sleep schedule)

Honestly no fucking idea mate, just suggesting that from both offhand chats with coaches at various rugby events in melbs over the past 8 or 9 years and his selection record at WOBs level since debut means there's something in his game that the average punter (very much including myself) is not...

From debut, Dave Rennie and Eddie Jones had both went out of their way to select Leota whenever available even if he was coming off LTIs/very limited minutes/not amazing form. I wouldn't necessarily rule him out this early, there's something he's bringing that coaches love.

Expats in Thailand you say... Might have some more contenders for the Criminal XV

You sometimes see an odd 3 or 4 here that can only mathematically be explained by the losing coach putting one in for one of his boys, but across the course of the 23 games it typically comes out in the wash.

When you look back at 14-15 through about 18-19 the series felt genuinely inspiring and exciting to watch. The hype of Olympics was extremely fresh, new Nations were starting to properly invest in the game, you had 10 events with some great locations like Las Vegas and Paris that felt like it...

It's really really important for people to understand the difference between: Transfer Fees - Private arrangements between two professional sports employers to transfer the current contract of a player between them in exchange for mutually determined financial compensation. Training...

Cheifs roster moves have consistently been slightly odd. Last season or the one before they had 4 looseheads who were all in and around starting premiership quality but lacked depth in other positions.

My own reading is that it's a plan for a URC B using the existing "professional" clubs in line with the other moves (i.e. selling Zebre to a local enterprise) and providing an (eventual) route to Challenge Cup and potentially URC inclusion for these sides, which are currently locked away behind...

I think it could potentially have the opposite effect. Right now, "generally speaking" European/Japanese/American teams can sign Australian players confident that they will have full seasonal availability to play: for French teams in particular this means that they are available in both the AIs...
