I’m curious about the financial gains for each team. If Super teams can generate significant revenue over a four-week period in Europe, I see it as a positive development. With dwindling crowds and league circling, having well-funded Super teams could keep a few more players from going overseas.
For young up-and-coming players, this could be a brilliant experience.
I wonder if there is any mention of the Drua and possible Moana Pacifica being automatic qualifiers.

Maybe the first game of the year, but the French pack did not look organized, sloppy service all day.
Is Dupont the glue that held this team together?

A deep-south prop you can’t top that.
Boring, slow Rugby has lost its mojo and needs a makeover - here's some ways to get it back in fashion
Great piece, Peter! I recall observing Fairfax back in the day. I sported long hair, which was prohibited at school, so witnessing a rugby player with flowing locks was truly inspiring. Your insights on his league career have finally addressed my curiosity about why he didn’t rise to stardom despite effortlessly gliding past opponents on the rugby field.
Amazing how many retired rugby players play golf, competition is competition.

Good point Cookie. You can’t go far without a tough forward pack.
Exclusive: Wallabies to turn to Kiwi Schmidt as Eddie Jones' replacement
I understand why people don’t want a Kiwi, but Schmidt has runs on board. If Nucifora joined the party, then you have two wise heads.
Schmidt apparently develops a style to match his cattle. He didn’t try to make Ireland play like Kiwis. There is talent in Australia and some big forwards so you never know.

NRL players may not be in great demand in Japan, as there is a quota for foreign-born players:
• Category A: Players who are either Japanese in origin, have met World Rugby residency requirements, or hold a Japanese passport. Each team must have 40 of these players or they should make up 80% of the playing roster.
• Category B: Players who are not Japanese and do not hold Japanese passports but are uncapped by their nation of birth. These players will become Category A players once they have lived in Japan long enough to meet World Rugby residency requirements that would make them eligible to represent Japan.
• Category C: Players capped by foreign nations, and therefore ineligible for Japan. Each team is allowed a maximum of nine Category B and C players, but their combined total cannot exceed 20% of the playing roster.

Agreed, surely the coaches must have noticed by now that all these box kicks result in the opposition getting the ball near halfway. Also, why don’t the ABs kick the ball deep, they always seem to be in their own half, the same as the French game.

Yes nroko I read that too. It would be good though, if the Drua or Moana Pacifica qualified. Another variable is the possible return of the Jaguars.
I am amazed no one has mentioned the possibility of no OZ teams qualifying.
