and there players are constantly critisizing how many games they have to play, and the clubs are having to have huge numbers of players on there books to cover all these games.

The Wrap: Rebels young gun rockets out of Wallabies contention, and why Samipeni Finau's 'brutal' hit on Edmed was fair game

get fiji and japan into the rugby championship asap.

Rugby Australia announce $9.2m deficit, board member fails to be re-elected but coup falls over

forget what league does. they dont have a proper international calendar, and they dont tour europe every year for a month.

good column, with plenty to digest for breakfast. pretty much everybody should be happy with this yrs super rugby comp. its very unpredictable, which is what every comp should aim for. there has been no whingeing about players stood down, and even the refs havent been blamed (mostly) for results. Rugby aus has got itself between a rock(vic gov) and a hard place(tax office), and I cant see an easy out. and thats not thinking about tv and what one less team does for content. hmmm.

Id say that most kiwis have the rebels as their favourite aus team. maybe its all kiwis fault(default setting). 😛

UPDATE: RA say they were blindsided over Rebels' finances, reject private consortium claim as administrator backs club's survival

yes,a malleable population is very open to suggestion. thats why new sports? such as mma and e-sports have taken off, and are also likely to shrink just as quickly.and as kingplaymaker has correctly said,many fans are only fans because their workmates and friends are fans.its another form of peer pressure. wanting to fit in ,etc. when in rome etc. you see it in bars and clubs, follow the crowds, even if its over a cliff …… it reminds me off a favourite line from life of brian. “repeat after me, we are all individuals”!”Im not”..

Five surprises, five disappointments and five things to figure out as Super Rugby 2024 reaches the end game

if his manager is throwing out multiple different sports and scenarios that petaia is thinking of, what IS the “right” thing for rugby aus to do? he doesnt sound overly committed to anything.

'It's disappointing': Petaia's Super season over - and it could end his Reds career

fun fact. financiers and bankers have never run anything well for more that one balance sheet, not even banks or finance houses. they dont have the ability or training to look long term.

'Definition of madness': Rugby reform must start with total cleanout of RA board - and this should happen next

everybody shows remorse when they are caught.its a bullsh*t claim. nobody ever stood up(unless they were a fool without a lawyer) and said, “yeah, Im glad I did it”. I often wonder if legal claims of remorse come from the catholic idea of confessing yr sins and getting another turn next week. As in , this is yr last, last ,definitley last (maybe) chance,(unless you show remorse and go to tackle school, you hardened pro with 15yrs of pro rugby).

The Wrap: Why SANZAAR must hold Frank Lomani accountable for 'going back for his hat'

embiggened.

Im at sunny foxton beach. the hurricanes are travelling well 😊

The Wrap: Why SANZAAR must hold Frank Lomani accountable for 'going back for his hat'

Ive thought about what you have written geoff,re frank lomani going back for his hat. didnt see it, so have a couple of questions. was he just a spectator in the crowd,?i.e. not there as an official drua rep,etc. NOT wanting to re-open the folau can of worms, but individual free speech etc. I realise Im in danger of dancing on a pin head here, and dont in any way condone his on,or off feild antics, but as a private citizen , surely as long as its not an obscene gesture, he is allowed to wave his arms around?doesnt make him any less of a tool.

The Wrap: Why SANZAAR must hold Frank Lomani accountable for 'going back for his hat'

its only a few yrs ago, that the crusaders were mid-pack in super rugby. with blackadder as coach ,and a couple of guys named carter and mccaw.

more than half empty phil. pretty sad . they should fill that glass to the top,with concrete, and knock it back.

CONFIRMED: Wallabies land final piece of coaching puzzle as ex-Lion signs on ahead of showpiece event

wow, talk about comparing apples to rubiks cubes. sth africa and australia are nothing alike. financially, racially, or distance wise to club comps. just because sth african rugby players have to live out of a suitcase doesnt mean anybody else has to.

Scrap the Giteau Law: Rugby Australia should look to Rassie's 'Boks RWC recipe if it wants to re-join the big boys' table

not coffee, a cup of concrete to harden up.

The Wrap: Crusaders' shot clock fiasco and shhh, don’t put the moz on Darby

that only applies to one aus team. hmmm.

The Wrap: Crusaders' shot clock fiasco and shhh, don’t put the moz on Darby

good column. I am looking for the headline”financially embarrassed aus super team with under-fire coach, finally win another game”. hah!

good luck to him, but schmidt and beale are nearly the same age, and it would be an indictment on the aussie game if they had to go down the dads army route.

What Joe Schmidt told Kurtley Beale about his Wallabies future

what is it between the roosters and rugby nsw? get a room.!

Rooster must remodel: Angus Crichton says he'd want to 'dominate' in rugby union - this is what he'd have to change

long night ahead for the warratahs front row.could get ugly.

Super Rugby teams round 8: Tahs drop Marky Mark, Kellaway returns for Rebels, HMP replaces Lynagh

yes, should be a very good round. four of the five are fairly even, and even moana pacifica could embrace the spirit of the taniwha.

seem to remember a lot of euro dummy spitting. “we’ve got this sewn up, france will win its own tourny, ireland will be one finalist,sthrn teams wont even get out of semis, etc,etc.

'I'm a big fan': Kiss throws weight behind Club World Cup as Europe and Super Rugby agree to new tournament

reading yr posts about how superior euro club rugby is, almost made me forget who played in last yrs RWC final, was it teams from europe? nthrn hemisphere?

not long enough to forget they didnt win.
