I imagine the Nz teams will use the matches against Aus sides for development purposes.

No. They were not a great side (Hansens selection showed that). And too inconsistent to win 3 big games in a row.

How much will they pay for us to tour there, I wonder? It’s very complicated Enz. Would this be ‘world rugby’ scheduled matches/existing broadcasting contract/any gate takings....? It’s clearly not going to happen. We should concentrate on BLedisloe cup and RC if possible for tests this year, ideal...

booze

I think it would be better to can the RC. Invite the Saffers out for a 3 test series tour. This would be the best option. Invite the world champs over. They could self isolate on a farm/country hotel for a fortnight. Then full on 3 test tour. With mid weekers. Could be a great option. Bring a large...

Who are players who have the ability or potential to perform at this level, and who have been fit to play, but who have been under-used by their franchise for a variety of reasons? 15.

Billy is brilliant. Wrote some classic songs and had some classic albums like the ones mentioned.

Some of the songs on workers playtime are gut wrenching. He clearly had his heart ripped out when writing the album.

Unisex chip shop by the other BB (Bill Bailey) is a great Bragg parody

I've been thinking* If the Boks and Argies cannot do the RC, then I propose the following to make it less boring: Reds v All Blacks - Brisbane Brumbies v All Blacks - Canberra Australia A v All Blacks - Gosford Wallabies v All Blacks - Sydney One Week rest Highlanders v Wallabies - Dunedin Crusader...

NZ lost 7 times from 2016 until the end of the 2019 rwc. Here are the lock combos. Proof of nothing, but there is a bit of a pattern here. 2016 v Ire = Tuipulotu/Kaino 2017 v Lions = Retalick/Whitelock 2017 v Aus = Barrett/Whitelock 2018 v SA = Barrett/Whitelock 2018 v Ire = Retalick/Whitelock 2019...

Christ I hope not. The thought of some five test bullshit against Australia has zero appeal. Just keep they SR comp rolling - 3 more home & away rounds and no finals - awesome!!

NZ Rugby organisation: 4D chess masters or overweight strippers named “Chyna”. Jury’s out - should find out soon. This current situation has been the best PR for the ARU.

French pro rugby is bankrolling Fiji, Samoa and Tonga so I don't theik WR will try to force our hand. That is bulldust, and you know it.

thats a pretty horrible way to present a program. its all over the place

its not really a SR review is it. mostly a typical WR puff piece about a guy who played 7's I think

booze

I dont think the changes would have sat right with fans on either side of the equator and frankly it would have just allowed both club and international sides to add more games. The current alignment isnt too far off in my opinion. The biggest issue is the length of the season. If we can have define...

I think the 20min is too long, I would say 10 or 15 with a compulsory substitution. Then do whatever you want with the player after the match. It is better for the offending team than what they get now. 20 minutes is equivalent to the same time as 2 yellow cards. it is 10 minutes more than a yellow...

They’re not clubs because they’re franchises- let’s call them what they are. I can be a member of the Chiefs - and buy tickets - but I, not my family, can play for the Chiefs (for me some sort of vets team). So in Aus my club is KWP - Killara West Pymble. In the UK my club was Ealing, although I fo...

yes, GDPR regs means a company can be fined up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the previous financial year, whichever is greater.
