Like the NZRU, I don’t need to provide evidence to back up this claim 😂
Rugby Championship draw changed to assist All Blacks
As part of the deal NZ also gets to submit Expressions of Interest to join a Pasifika team in Super Rugby AU. 😂
Rugby Championship draw changed to assist All Blacks
The game can’t appeal to everyone. And making it more like league while the rest of the rugby world doesn’t seems pointless to a large extent.
Super Rugby as we know it all but over after South Africa votes to quit, send teams to Europe instead
What does that mean?
New Zealand Rugby unhappy as SANZAAR releases 2020 Rugby Championship draw
Unfortunately all teams this year have to make sacrifices. The games in February this year were ridiculous – high 30’s. Hopefully it doesn’t reach that kind of heat during this tournament

It’s all going so well …

Especially as he doesn’t want to play for the ABs 👍
Wallabies' Bledisloe call-up reveals why he chose Australia over the All Blacks
There is so much more opportunity elsewhere these days. Fighting to a very bit part player, or getting a decent run of games in a lesser completion isn’t really a hard decision
Anyone bemoaning the lack of Aussies in the English Premier League is missing the point
I hear what you saying but there appears to be little evidence provided about what has been said. People link SS and RA being based in Sydney and think they are the same thing or ther is undue influence. However I suggest you ask SS clubs what they think of that. If you look at guy like Brett Papworth – ex Wallaby , ex President of Eastwood, media profile – he would be one of the guys you think has this influence. He is very critical of the approach of RA over the last few decades. Add in that the SS clubs are consistently calling for players from the Waratahs to play for them when available, but often aren’t allowed to, and the fact that RA also stopped funding club rugby too means there is limited proof that they are in bed together.
The magic of the Shute Shield
Professional sport in NSW & QLD in particular has been run well given the pandemic. At the moment reports are that NSW & QLD – where the games will be – has about the same number of live COVID cases as NZ. I appreciate this may change but given that fact, quarantine issues and money it seems like a logical decision.
CONFIRMED: Wallabies to get home-ground advantage for 2020 Rugby Championship
Thats seems to be the go to argument about the SS. It’s a great competition with a long history and has passion and loyalty from its supporters. This has only grown in recent years as RA has messed about with Super Rugby and the Wallabies have misfired. The fact it has always been on FTA has also helped people stay connected too. No doubt the passion and loyalty applies equally in Brisbane and other states as well. I used to read about the great South teams in Brisbane when I was a kid and wished I could watch them. They seemed to the equivalent of the Randwick from the 80/90’s with Wallabies spread throughout the team. I am sure all SS supporters were happy to hear of the big the crowds when Quade Cooper was back playing club rugby. Also great to hear of other SR players turning out for clubs in their home cities.
The magic of the Shute Shield
Well done Stratty. The Shute Shield on a sunny Sydney afternoon, is one of life’s great pleasures.

Yes. Of all the places to play rugby Southern France is one of the best places to end up living in
Aussie abroad: Manny Edmonds
Yep, not every discussion needs to be turned into a RL v RU argument. Unless that is the discussion.
Stronger apart: The future of rugby in Australia and New Zealand
Fair enough. I think there is more justification for a final with 5 teams, even if was just the top 2 teams who qualify.

There should have been a final.

Why is the NRL relevant here?

Thanks. Let’s see what happens. If they get a team it seems like it was set up for them all along.
The Wrap: Topsy-turvy round throws up so many questions
Whether it is part of the Hawaii based group or not, the proposed Pasifika team just looks like a 6th NZ team to even out the numbers.
The Wrap: Topsy-turvy round throws up so many questions
I would think so. I would also suggest that they have also burnt their QLD bridges while Thorn is still coaching. So any return to AU will have to be elsewhere

Maybe focus on why NZ got smoked by England.
Wallabies coach yet to give up hope Joseph Suaalii will stick with rugby union
I understand that. But you don’t think this is a planned long term move to shift the tournament dynamics? If it isn’t a long term move, then why would NZ look to support a NZ based PI team for one year only? What would Arg say to its players go and get overseas contracts? What would NZ say lets only open to 2 Aust teams? It doesn’t stack up.
Sorry Australia, the other two nations will supercharge southern hemisphere rugby
Apologies, I meant in its current format. Things chop and change so much that there has been no continuity to anything in Super Rugby.
Debunking the lack of depth myth
NZ need to pay the difference in any revenue shortfall.
