Mate if you don't believe there is a massive gap in pace and intensity between Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams, then you're not living in the real world. More nonsense. Absolutely for the top of Tier 1 and probably the middle of Tier 1, but if you think there is a massive gap between the bottom of Tier 1 a...

In fairness Georgia have shown they can get close to USA, Canada and a depleted Samoa team while the games are in Tiblisi. They wouldn't get close to Italy or Scotland, or a full strength Samoa team home or away. Complete nonsense. Those sides are all better than Georgia at the moment, but they're ...

16 Games is good. Works for the NFL. Well, yes and no. The owners have for some time been pressing for an extension of the regular season to around 20 games. I'd prefer it to be more around the 20 mark. But then again I'd like to see either the June Test window scrapped for SR or SR continue throug...

Higginbotham for Wallaby captain! :thumbup: Just thought I'd mention it. He'll be in the conversation if he stays fit. Hopefully Jones plays well. Two big games to start the year and he'll be well and truly on the selectors radar. In related news, Dumbledore has checked himself into hospital due to...

McMahon isn't exactly a huge unit. Is his future at 6 or 7? An undersized 6 in the Ed Quirk mould. Don't think he'll ever make it to the absolute top, but he should be a handy Soup player. He's only 20 or something, very, very, young. He is young, might end up putting on more weight. Anyway, always...

I have been watching the NFL combine.

If UM Punter Pat O'Donnell doesn't make the NFL, someone should convince him to play rugby.

6'4, 220lbs, 4.64 40, 23 Reps of the Bench, 30.5" Vertical jump.

Looks like a fullback to me. I bet he played Linebacker in highschool as well with that size.

A Pacific Conference and a Atlantic Conference is the best idea. FACT. Play each time in conference twice with a couple of non conference games a season. TV Friendly timed games :thumbup: Less Travel :thumbup: Argie Team :thumbup: Easier for future expansion (SINKERS TOWNY, SINKERS) :thumbup: SA get...

Whenever anyone says that tax reform is needed to rein in tax evasion for the rich, and just says "Trusts etc", it reveals to me that they have no idea how our current tax system works.

I played from ages 10-13. Pretty much all my money went into it. Then I discovered girls, and couldn't hide the tuff fast enough. Its still in storage with my parents 15 years later. Is there much of a resale market? That being said, its a fascinating, full fleshed out world they have come up with. ...

Have you ever watched one of those documentaries with a stupid "recreation of actual events"? That is what Wolf of Wall Street felt like. A really well produced, directed and acted recreation of actual events. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but didn't feel really that engaged in the story, because it was ...

As wonderful as it is that the rest of New Zealand seems determined to share in this 17 year old girl's success, doesn't the integrity of the Grammy's suffer a bit when Ryan Lewis and Macklemore win all the rap awards? Or do I have the dates wrong for Yeezus, Magna Carta etc? Although Thrift Shop w...

How about if you don't come back within 7 minutes I'll go to work without criticism? I'll take your silence as agreement.

Matt is just a WUM. Ignore him.

This is how you need to do it in my opinion. Set up a Club Province World Ranking, similar to the IRB rankings. To do this, you would need to analyse the last five or so years of results. The league with the highest combined ranking would therefore be the best. Only issue is, games between SH and NH...

SR -> HC -> T14 -> AP -> ITMC -> CC -> P12 -> TL -> CNE -> CA-> SL -> PRL -> DDH -> CPDR -> NSC

You get points if you can work out all the acronyms. I've excluded 2nd division leagues.

But this sort of thing happens regularly, just on a smaller scale, and it doesnt necessarily make the papers. Precisely. Hundreds of thousands of jobs are continuously being created and destroyed as businesses move in and out of the market in response to economic signals such as competitiveness. It...

Um what? That can't be right - do you mean per term or per year maybe?

Or they pick the core of the team from the qualifying squad and a couple of the best players from the other two. Not that hard. I'd expect it would shake out that way anyway.

The question will be which Unions tap their XV's stars to play in the Olympics.

Zakar

My understanding is that they will need to elect a "lead team" (England) to qualify GB.

Once they are qualified, they can pick whatever team they like.

Zakar

So if the top four is - SA, NZ, UK, ARG - not beyond the realm of possibilities.

Then one of Fiji/Samoa/Australia will miss out, and Uruguay will be in.

Yikes.

Also do Japan even play 7s? I thought It would be Hong Kong under the guise of China.

Wouldn't that mean Tonga makes it? They can't be that dire, and can pick from their pro players that wouldn't normally play 7s

Thanks for the hitout Fava. I'm assuming you rested a lot of players? Yikes.

The tow back letter stated it was turned back for "safety reasons", we really only have their safety as our concern. Well, that just isnt true. We have the option to pick up any boats that are in danger of sinking with our navy. Turning them around is not a safety concern. Well, here's the rub, the...

If you hadn't watched them as kids when Blake's 7 was the standard for sci-fi you wouldn't think they were so good now. It's not a popular opinion, but it's true. The status the Star Wars films are held in is very much due to (a) the era they were released in and (b) the age of the audience. That's...
