Just a rugby and cricket nuffy currently playing Colts footy in Brisbane and a proud BSHS graduate.

Super Rugby Trans-Tasman is due to commence on May 14. It looks set to be a belter, with Super Rugby teams from either side…
Is anyone aware of where to c at ch the Japanese League One games? Specifically the Kintetsu Liners games.. The top league games used to be on Stan but the Kintetsu games were absent for whatever reason
Cross everything: Quade's back and how his old legs respond could decide Wallabies' RWC destiny
I can’t remember what the exact time frame is, but something like in the last ten years the All Blacks Sevens have only missed out on the cup quarter finals stage on the World Series twice. Once last year, where Australia beat them in both teams’ last pool game to deny NZ the chance to progress and the same thing happened this weekend.
Hong Kong title a perfect fit for the Aussie ‘Misfits’
Great article and I agree completely.

Looks as though world rugby will stream the tournament on their website, Youtube etc. hopefully this means we can go back and replay the games too, not just watch live.

Good on him. This “taking the knee” stuff seems to have developed into nothing more than virtue-signalling. There’s nothing virtuous about it, especially when your board is saying you have to partake in it. This culture of criticising and ousting people for being truthful and not partaking in virtue-signalling is dangerous.

I’d tend to agree with DR. Seems like JP should have more time at the back in SR before making the leap in Test footy. Especially considering a fullback should require an excellent kicking game when playing the likes of England, Scotland and Wales.
Yes, ideally Kellaway would stay on the wing where he’s been excellent.
Seems there is no right answer atm.
Although, as a bias Reds fan I’ve always thought Morahan was extremely underrated and exciting to watch and I’d love to see him play.

There’s been lots of talk about the lack of specialists fullbacks currently in the Wallabies squad. With Hodge looking as though he has an extended stay on the injury list, did Kellaway prove he is the right replacement on the weekend? Should James O’Connor turn back the clock and fill in in the backfield for the Spring tour? Dave Rennie indicated Jordan Petaia needs more game time at the back in SR to be considered an option. What about Beale or Morahan?

Mm I’ve seen the Springboks dining in Brisbane a couple of times across the last two weeks.

I think it’s extremely plausible for the strongest team to not win all their games, especially if it’s an Australian team (a doubtful scenario but just for arguments sake). The Springboks couldn’t even top their pool and they won the 2019 RWC, for example.

Agreed, regardless of my thoughts on the format I’m extremely excited to see some TT footy.

“ What anyone is free to do is compile a points table using the final rounds of SRA and SR Oz and the TT and come up with a combined tally.”
Mmm I didn’t even think of this 😂
Will be interesting to see the difference between the tables and how big the difference is. And if the top 2 is affected…
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
Waxhead, I’m not claiming that Australia had the strongest team, I was just meaning hypothetically in order to make my point. Perhaps I should have made that clearly.
And again I’m not claiming there should be more rugby jammed into the season.
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
I’m certainly not saying there should be more local derbies for the Aussie sides. I’d be quite opposed to that. Read the article.
Edit: ah you beat me to it Joe, thank you
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
No, I’m not blaming any teams. I am however blaming the competition format for the likely possibility that one country’s collective strength over the other will likely be disproportionately represented in the final results.
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
If you read the article, you’d see I’m not proposing an increase in games.
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
I sure did, Pinetree. If my remember correctly it was the 2018 Super Rugby season where it particularly irked me that the Canes and Crusaders met in the semi final instead of the Final when they were far and away the two best sides.
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
Hey Wayne, don’t get me wrong I’m stoked that the tournament looks set to go ahead and I’m sure it will be excellent. I’m simply pointing out what I interpret as a flaw that I haven’t seen talked about.
The problem with Super Rugby Trans-Tasman
Did i hear Morgan Turinui correctly in commentary? Once the player receiving a kick runs 5 metres, all the defenders are considered on side?
