Might be excessive there. Scrum penalty 5 metres out, knock it over. Scrum penalty 5 metres out, knock it over. Penalty try and successful conversion, 13 easy points to a dominant scrum side.
Maybe free kick on halfway mark?
One thing's for certain if these rules were adopted to super rugby - the reds would win every game!!!!!!!!
The Rams have a 2mil person catchment of non-adverse Rugby Supporters?
Sounds like a fairly even chunk of the pie?
^^^Is there a draw out yet?
This seems to me that they are being set up to fail.
Are we heading for 2 Sydney NRC clubs only?
Poor NSW.
Imagine if there were some professional sporting organisation in the state with affiliations to rugby union, one which had coaching, media, logistical, management and S&C resources which weren't even fully utilised at that time of the year that could be leveraged to support the NRC teams...
Rubbish AD.
Players already have gone to teams not linked to their club. Harry Jones for example plays for Warringah, but played for the Stars in 2015.
Sam Talaikai played for Sydney Uni in 2014 but went to Brisbane City.
Duncan Chubb played for Southern Districts in 2015 but went to Melbourne Rising.
Why? Because they want to be professional rugby players. Professionals follow opportunity.
What it does seem to show is that players will go to NRC teams their club is not affiliated with, but remain at their club. Not using the NRC to poach club rugby players as many club people wanted to suggest.
PeopleShute Shield fanatics think Club Rugby/Shute Shield rugby before NRC andsome observersevery other rugby supporter in the country just don'tget thiscare.
