Long term 'glass half full' rugby fan - Wallabies, Wallaroos, Tahs, Marlins + 7s

Correct. Just think we need to move on from just selling the international component especially as Super Rugby no longer goes to Argentina or South Africa.

Done deal: Wallabies star signs with NRL powerhouse in brutal reality check for RA at start of 'golden decade'

Am coming to the conclusion that the Wallabies/Super Rugby is becoming like Super W to NRLW. If you want a serious professional footy career go to the NRL, more opportunities, paid more, getting greater recognition & profile.

Was pondering where Teagan could play in 15s, agree possibly 12.

Agree Maddi’s defence needs a bit of work. It’s different these days but back in the day Campo’s attack offset his miserable defence.

Have been a Teagan fan since she debuted in Dubai 2021, you could see the potential. But Teagan and Maddi play different positions & have different roles. Its like saying who is better the striker or mid fielder, you can’t, you need both.

You will never get a commentary team that everyone likes, personally I’m not a fan of Rikki Swannell. I was irritated by a couple of the commentators during the WXV but its all just an opinion.

I’m guessing the coach would have got advice from the S&C

With Longbottom I’m guessing it is load management, he has just come back from injury.

ALF likes to also tackle upright & then hold the player up off the ground. The problem is when the player is coming at pace you get the increased chance of a head clash. I’m sure Tim Walsh will be providing some advice to her.

Cracking game & a terrific win by the women. Terita really stepped up with Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea out. Teagan Levi is now one of the most important players in the women’s team. Also have to mention NZ Jorja Miller is a superstar.

The women are a quality team but in reality we’re not really tested. The knockout stages will be interesting, the USA physicality is often a challenge for women. But Black Ferns still overall favourite. As for men they just didn’t look good in the first 2 games, not sure what was missing. Really tough QF against Sth Africa.

Agree, need some rugby IQ, that was always my thoughts on Trae Williams also.

I actually like this rugby content but I do like 7s, so find it interesting to get a bit of background on the players. As for the speed factor, I find that interesting as one of the issues the men’s 7s team has had over the years is a lack of out right pace. I can’t help but think part of the success of the team over the last 2 years has been Corey Toole & Darby Lancaster. They aren’t currently in the squad so have wondered who is the next speedster.

Looking forward to see him in action. Speed is such a valuable asset in 7s.

I would add Darby Lancaster to the wish list. He was outstanding this season.

Sure they will get the sponsors, negotiations will just be a bit more challenging & maybe not get the same level of $$.

You would not want to be the Head of Commercial heading into the RA office this morning, wondering how can you sell rugby & Wallabies to potential partners/sponsors. At the same time knowing RA is financially ‘challenged’ & desperate for funds.

No, just a general comment that the Brumbies have been consistently competitive on the field. Whilst winning is the goal, have reset my expectations on Australian rugby & just want to be competitive. As for reducing the number of teams, whether it is right or wrong it does not matter it isn’t an option RA is considering, so I no longer ponder about it.

The Tahs may as well give it a go, they shouldn’t have but have been struggling on & off the field for a long time. Do wonder if the team had been successful on the field like the Brumbies & commercially doing well whether they would have been as keen on this proposal. Don’t usually associate the Tahs & altruism.

Have to say it’s time to move on from the Eddie story. Will admit I haven’t read the above article (sorry Christy) & I understand it gets the clicks/ reads just by the amount of comments here, including mine. So appreciate mine is a pointless perspective. Just for information, over the weekend was the Oceania 7s up in QLD. Good to see the Fiji women qualified for the Olympics as did for the first time the Samoa men. The Aussie women won the title, sort of, they actually just played 5 matches against a NZ development squad the Fiji. The Aussie men tried out a few new players while Aussie women was all their big guns. Also good to see Laurie Fisher joining the Junior Wallabies next year. Just a few positives. :

Sure can’t stop him talking to the Roosters but probably just reflective of the lack of trust & confidence that RA will offer a quality contract. Just another negative rugby story.
