From a neutral perspective in the ideal time zone I must admit I am desperately disappointed about the demise of the old Super Rugby.…
You’re pathetic, such a cliche for why people hate English sports fans, come on to gloat to one of the few countries you still can? Oh well, I’ll maybe head over to an English forum and post pictures of the Calcutta Cup, getting quite cosy here in Edinburgh.
Decision time: Clubs queuing up to pounce on Rebels' best as Rugby Australia given warning over in demand Wallabies
Astute observation, one thing Andy Friend might have going for him that other candidates may not is that he has experience going up against heavyweights like Leinster with rather limited cattle. If we get a ROG, Jake White or Joe Schmidt they might get unenthused with our playing stocks compared to what we’ve had at home.
At the very least the next head coach should be looking to him to run the attack.
RA must not fixate on an Aussie coach - why Ronan O'Gara is best choice to lead Wallabies after the Eddie calamity
I would argue the Finn Russell comparison is moot because he wasn’t selected in the initial squad, regardless of availability, it would be like saying victories over the Wallabies at the moment should have an asterisk because we haven’t picked Quade Cooper. Bare in mind we also had Will Skelton playing in La Rochelle and Marika Koroibete playing for his Japanese team, I understand they made themselves unavailable as you put it but I really don’t see how that makes a difference? The bottom line is both teams had a number of first choice players missing, arguing it doesn’t matter the Wallabies won because of XYZ not playing is just conjecture.
I was intrigued to see where Pivac’s wide-playing Scarlets style would take Wales, I worry for them they’ve gone back to the safety net of “Warrenball” which is working at the moment but are the WRU just delaying the inevitable changeover period?
It’s different to our knee-jerk reaction of getting rid of a coach who was yet to hit his peak because a more experienced option suddenly became available (by being sacked for terrible results).
RA 'committed' to Eddie despite 'bitterly disappointing' RWC campaign, in talks with NZR over northern threat
Brendan, I mean no offence here but I won’t cop the “window” excuse you seem to keep rolling out for Scotland and Wales losing last year, if you think the Wallaby team that faced Scotland and, even less so, Wales was full-strength then I have a bridge to sell you. Plus, Scotland & Wales seemed quite happy with their wins in 2021 when our Japanese-based players were yanked at the last minute then all turn round when the shoe is on the other foot and say “but… but… the window?!”

“Oz are hopeless and will lose BC and Ashes this year”
I thought this was meant to be satire? That’s all true 😔
The Wrap: Drua delight shows why Super Rugby finals structure is right for now
The Rebels coach is South African…..

Brett, I think he’s referring to the Munster folk that coach at La Rochelle (ROG, Ryan, Dillane).
Super Rugby Pacific tipping week 15: From second to fifth and seventh to eleventh anything is possible
I’m afraid so mate, will just make it all the more sweet when you beat them and sneak into the finals 😁

That’s funny, throwing around derogatory comments then accusing others of not being culturally aware? I see you are completely unarmed for a battle of wits, safe travels 😊

😂 😂 You’re too much bro, if you don’t like a response it’s “pathetic”, what do you actually gain from coming on to an Aussie forum and talking down to the few fans we have left? I’m not even mad I just kind of pity you if you need to do that to make yourself feel better.
'Power and pace, it's frightening': Why Quade reminds Eddie of Dan Carter, and a huge hint over Skelton's RWC role
“Are you really this pathetic” 😂 😂 from a kiwi who trolls on an AUSTRALIAN sporting website, we get it mate, NZ is, and always will be, better than us at rugby, worry about your own team….

Jeznez, thanks a lot for your comment mate appreciate the feedback, like your suggestions they tie in with what I was trying to say 👍
Where to next for Aussie club rugby?
My suggestion is Super AU as the third tier with the five current Aussie teams, the Blues/Maroons/BBs would compete in the new Super Rugby competition with 5x Kiwi franchises, Moana Pasifika and the Drua.

Paul, cheers mate, yes I see no reason a sevens programme couldn’t follow the same path, would probably lead to a more competitive sevens team than the Olympic one if the guys were playing regular top-end sevens (at least you guys have your own sevens team).

I really don’t understand where your arrogance comes from? Are you under the impression your team is good? As a Scot, listening to an English rugby fan trying to be all high and mighty is laughable.
