I've tried my hand at everything rugby. My serious playing ceased 40 years ago. My social playing, Fifths with my brothers, finished 30 years ago. I've refed, managed and been a delegate to the QRFSU. I've taught rugby as a school subject to boys and girls and I am still coaching schoolboys with an old mate, Got to loves the 4th's. I agree with the old colonial powers, spread rugby and develop leaders for the future in the community. You don't have to be 1st XV or a rep player to be a leader.

But it was, and still should be, the first position considered at the selection table. Then your kicker, then the other 13. Then find your captain.

I hear you. Used to love standing back at 15 and watching them sort it out, but respected the work that went into the position. 👍

I’ve made replies to a number of people here today. Here are some points that might help.
1) We’ve got a great product.
2) Publicity through an NFL Films type channel on YouTube, promoted by State Unions and SR clubs and their data base of members.
3) Let’s get back to some SH inventiveness rather than worry about how the NH has made the Laws to suit themselves.
4) Get off the refs’s and TMO’s backs. They enforce the Laws, not write them. The only blokes on the paddock who’ll never get a win. Show some respect.( Personal bias, get rid of TMOs and slowmo replays.)
5) Just support the game. There are enough people out there trying to tear it down without us doing it for them.

G’day SS. How about my comment to Ehhh just above yours? You can’t rely on others to do what you should be doing.

I suggested some time back that RA should set up something like NFL Films. Positive shows. Even if it starts as a YouTube channel, it will gather a strong following that mainstream media will want to pay for in the end. Let’s get that media arm WORKING for the good of the game, not just putting out media releases that the media ignore.

The difference between Sydney and Brisbane?

G’day S81. Back in the day Aus and NZ rugby were smart. With 30% possession against NH teams the WBs could run the ball and win tests. Sure we have to battle up front to “win the right to go wide” but it seems we now want to play the NH at their own game.
I see part of the problem as RA, and possibly NZR, wanting coaches to go O/S to gain experience. This seems to be what most of them bring back. Remember a time when our isolated and innovative coaching and tactics won us World Cups?

G’day KFTD. About 4 years ago I wrote an article about getting rid of the TMO all together. Sadly my computer at the time died, like genuine rucking, and I am yet to find the enthusiasm to re-write. The Law says “The referee is the sole judge of fact”. Let’s bring back some of the respect that is now missing. The first way is to get rid of, after the TMO, the replay, especially at the field. Any replay should be done only at real time speed, that’s what the ref and touchies are ruling no.
As for Dan Cole… remember the good old days when the front rowers (and their dark arts) used to sort things out themselves? Good times! 😱 😂 😂

“Come to a grinding halt” would imply they no longer enforce changes made and numbers are on the increase. Perhaps it might be said that the number of concussions has plateaued at a low level, eliminating the illegal and dangerous, which was intended. Now the numbers reflect the accidents that are going to occur in any contact sport.
I hope that this is the situation that WR is trying to reach. I presume comparisons between community and professional concussions, Y/R cards and other measurements will add positively to indicate where tackle heights etc should be placed in the interests of both player safety and spectacle.

30 seconds to pack the scrum, 15 or less to repack, they’re already on site.

Thanks Osr. I had hoped so. 👍
Five things we learned: One area Gordon must fix to convince Wallabies boss, ABs bruiser should be on notice
Whose is? I think he’s got more positives than any other so far.

Maybe. 😂

Does he have to be though? He can put others into holes, good pass, good support lines, good kick when needed and the best defensive 12 and defensive organiser we’ve had for years. He’s not too small or too slow.

Back in the late 80s and 90s we tried to promote 7s in the State High School system in Brisbane. It was played after the League season was finished. It was working well, being pushed by local club development officers. But as teachers transferred and the clubs could not afford DOs, interest fell away. This is sad as I know that there were leaguies at the school where I was who went on to play club rugby. What might have been.
What's the point of Sevens? It should be used to develop Test players, and would be better at it than Super Rugby
Funny you should say those things D10. Watching school teams train, there seems to be a lot of agility ladders, and poles and wrestling. My mate and I always started with an old fashioned game of touch. Timing of passes, on both sides, support lines, cover defence were all covered before “training” actually started. And surprisingly, the boys took that into the game. Who’d have thought?

Indeed, it worked for us before with Ella and Michael Lynagh in ‘84. But it does take the right man in the 12 spot. HS is a converted 10 I believe, but if not him, there are a lot of positives with Carter.
We also have to keep in mind the farce that was Lolesio and Foley. Like I said, the right man.

Maybe if he was faster he’d get to the 10 before the ball was gone. Or he’s lazy. Or maybe he’s just a bully who likes to hit late when people aren’t looking? Certainly not the type of role model even I’d expect to see in Black.

You want a 12? Hamish Stewart!

G’day Jimbob. Understand your point about different application of the Laws at different levels. However, I’m one of those who looks at the Laws, notices there’s no recommendation that interpretation depends on the level of game being played. If it’s a late tackle at U 10 or Test, then it’s late at SR.
Our game doesn’t need players like that being examples for our kids and scaring off parents.
By the way, has he tried this tactic with any other ref?
