Re: BRUMBIES v CHIEFS — R11 2014 SR Official Match Thread

They shoulda had White taking all the kicks. He's nailing them.

Brums have left a lot of points on the tee.

Re: Hater's Gonna Hate: Adam becomes 4th Whitelock All Black

Do you think the players consider themselves All Blacks? I very much doubt there's a single sevens player who would feel comfortable being referred to that way. I couldn't care less how some 7s players may or may not feel. The NZRU owns the trademark 'All Blacks' and they have decided that this nam...

Good stuff. Impressive family. Are 7s players also "All Blacks"? Yes. A few years ago that NZRU decided that the national 7s, Maori, womens and U20s teams would all be known as the All Blacks. Apparently they were convinced it would build brand-recognition. Fair enough. If anything, I'd reckon it o...

If they managed to secure a big TV deal now, they would probably be able to set the teams up, even if they weren't very good at the beginning. They could base them on the NRC teams they're starting now. The NRC only has a small deal now on pay TV. In saying that, if NRC got onto FTA in 2 years time...

Specify the ban in games and use a multiplier for games missed at a lower level of competition. e.g. for a player who gets a 2 match ban in a test could maybe sit out: 1st Tier: 2 x 1.0 = 2 test matches 2nd Tier: 2 x 1.5 = 3 super rugby/trans-national club matches 3rd Tier: 2 x 2.0 = 4 provincial/na...
