What does this global season look like?

Even if everyone wanted in, how do you overcome the SH/NH summer/winter issues?

Drop goals are hard. Even Johnny missed 2 or 3 in the WC final

Someone good at maths got involved and worked out the expected points from each drop goal attempt, and compared that with the expected points from camping out in the opposition 30m zone and decided that they weren't generally worth it.

Dave Aldred, Johnny Wilkinson's ex-coach, is the Reds goal kicking coach isn't he?

WHO is advising that the virus can only survive on hard surfaces for a few hours. But there's a fair bit of conflicting advice out there

These Brissie prices seem a fair bit higher than what they are charging in Sydney. My local junior club is $150, which is pretty much what the competitors (league, AFL, cricket) charge as well. Soccer is the exception being higher That settles it, I'm moving to Sydney! They sell XXXX down there rig...

Insurance takes some (for Juniors it's less than $20). BJRU and QRU take some.
ARU get none of it (though they admisinter the insurance payment).

Surprised Lucas was dropped. Thorn needs to stick with a 10 instead of chopping and changing all the time. Bench is very weak. #ThornOut Dropping not swapping makes me wonder if Jebusbrad was also headscratching over who should be 12. Mungo you were more impressive when you presented yourself under...

The thing is, it isn't just one mine. Adani is the first. Once it goes ahead, about 6 will follow. A couple of them are already at an advanced EIS stage. The people in the region know this. Adani is just the catch-all name for mining. In QLD, if you oppose Adani...you oppose all mining. Well, that'...

Great news! Bloke’s reign was an utter disaster. Good work will be undone if the hire another ‘old boy’ though. Is Brett Robinson another old boy?

If a team set up a four/five/six chain caterpillar, all bound one behind the other, everyone else rolls aaway, what's stopping them walking up the field with the guy at the back controlling things ala a pushover scrum.

Eddie was ahead of his time. All his rugby theories have come to fruition in the England team. The difference is he has the cattle to do it. And the money !! Money twice? To be honest, bar a few specialists here and there I'm not sure what money gets for a test side that others don't these days. Mo...

It does say quite a bit that we have no certainty on who will be running out at 10 in the first game at any of our Super Rugby teams next year.

WB disallowing de Allende's try last night was very odd. Looked fine in real time and replay confirmed no hold. I just don't get it. Disallowed for a double-movement apparently. Did he place it down before the line and not get to his feet again before re-moving? The ref thought he was held by an op...

Yes, but it's not as if any of Australia's playmakers held their hands up either over those 5 years. Nor where any play makers putting their hands up for years before. It's a long term problem that predates Cheika. There is only so much a coach can do. The fact is Australia have had problems for a ...

I'm not nearly as optimistic as many of you guys. There are more good teams now than there ever have been. Half our good players are overseas and ineligible. We continue to lost our young talent to league. I reckon we are, and should be a 50/50 team especially if we mainly play TRC and 6 nations tea...

Plan A was Foley, because Toomua was OS and CLL was sick. But he lost all form. So Plan B was CLL, but he can't play a) 80 minutes of test rugby, or multiple games in a row. So Plan C was Toomua, but he can't pass left to right which kind of stuffed up our entire backline, especially because our 12 ...
