Not really. It would be fun to play in Japan or Europe. The travel burden mostly better too.
John Welbourne said he loved France. Tough stuff on the field and a glass of red with lunch.

Haven’t noticed his pace

Sure moneys good but there’s also fun. Money and fun is good too

Geoff, twiggy could fund that orange schools program Australia wide. He actually doesn’t like spending his own money but for the sake of tax deductible 2 to 3 million per year to be the god father of Oz rugby it could be sold to him. Better marketing and less outlay than the 50 million he was talking about before. You should get your mate onto him. Twiggy would love to be a big man with Victorian kids

Good thing about cheika is that he’s independently wealthy. He doesn’t actually need the money. Maybe get him to agree that half his salary goes to a schools program?
That orange guy in Melbourne really needs to talk to twiggy coz that sort of program would really speak to twiggy sense of being seen to contribute to the community. And cost him nothing. I reckon you could sell him on funding it Perth Melbourne Adelaide and Darwin. Total annual cost less than 2 million. But problem kids getting educated etc.

It looks to me like playing rugby in Japan is a lot more fun than playing super rugby. And it pays better. Money is important since pro careers are short but you should not discount the value of fun.

LSL went north and was mentored by Lawes. What serious lock 6 would not want that!
Noah was mentored by AW jones!

You don’t get much of in super rugby anymore.
Andy Friend is the guy who could do a Le’s kiss. He’s learned how to coach.

If Joc could pump up to 100kgs and play 12 then surely edmed could. He’s got a lot of 12 about him and at 100kgs would not be smaller than his dad’s playing weight

Out of the stadium is 6 and out surely?

The true inventor of Bazball was born 150 years ago, and his records are still utterly bonkers

If the club comp is Saturday then super Sunday arvo not Saturday night. Afternoon games are fun

Player meet-and-greets and truckloads of Gilberts: It's time RA started looking at grassroots growth as an investment instead of an expense

Mcreight does seem to have a good head on his shoulders though and he’s a Michael hooper type in stats.
Do you go an interim captain with the rwc captain as vc? Maybe. If AAA was captain he’d be subbed off letting the 80 minute player step up. Would also give Rodda time to show durability

West Indies a tough place to get your family ahead. IPL a god send

Scooter is an 80 minute player and guaranteed to start. Best nz lock and hard to see him drop back to 3rd best any time soon

Pretty sure mcreight was the Oz 20s captain.

Wasn’t mcreight the Oz 20s captain in his day? Liam and Tate both look like good leaders to me. Don’t want 3 co captains. A firing Rodda will be an option down the track.

Wright and Noah come as a 10 15 pair. I’d add kellaway and try wright at 15 on attack and kellaway there on D. If kellaway gets stuck at 15 on a fast transition then still no harm done as kellaway can attack too.

Kells, Wright, Donno, Jock or Kurtley? What Joe Schmidt's past tells us about the Wallaby fullback sweepstakes

Tizzano is a west Aussie

Super Rugby teams round 13: Frost to No.6, Noah back for Brumbies, Aubrey starts for Reds, Pone in for Rebels

Appreciate that but a player blows a knee and he’s done. Harrison is young enough to cash in and come back. Doubt he’d make the Wallabies over donno carter and Noah this season and next season he’s up against those same guys plus the two reds

Another way to fix Australian rugby: Why not just let our players go to Europe part-time?

It’s a new thing for us in Oz. We’re actually developing low level depth and to be fair guys like hanigan leewarner Sinclair Swinton are all pretty good players. Maybe not all in the one roster but each of good enough to slot. Into a top club squad somewhere

It remains true that guys who play elite level into their late 30s and early 40s spend more time warming up and warming down than playing.

As long as they are all motivating each other to get better

Kiss teams do have leaky D though. He knows that too.
Nick Phipps found a passing game at Irish. If Tate does then what a player he’ll be

Bayley Kuenzle is improving. Can play 12 and wing and maybe 13 now too. Joey Walton has some talent too. There’s also a big unit from the u20s and dare I mention it pasitoa if he can make it back onto the pitch

Booster has a big boot too.

I loved in rwc 2019 the small Japanese winger showing what real toe can do. Burning off bigger guys. Love to have Toole and Ryan in the mix

Dagunu may be an option to move to 12 . Strong guy with over the ball skills. He’d make a decent emergency 12 coz you need some power. Tizzano and pocock were both teenage centres. Maybe Hamish shoulda stayed at 7.
