Re: France up to massive world cup shenanigans
To who’s benefit? Ours. We would field the strongest teams for a change if the best players from both codes were available. What RU rules would you change for this hybrid game? Rules would have to be agreed to by all parties. I would like to see a game that is based on rugby's rules, but with a gen...

Re: France up to massive world cup shenanigans
It has occurred to me that maybe the southern hemisphere should go it alone, playing a hybrid game incorporating both rugby and rugby league.

Re: Eddie Jones has resigned

As a neutral observer, I believe the ABs should have won that. I really thought they would, especially when Kolbe was binned.

Re: 2023 Rugby World Cup Final Match Thread - NZ Vs South Africa
There is a fair chance that the Saffers will not have one specialist hooker in their match-day 23.
Might as well call the game off now.
