I'm not sure how involved i was in the Folau discussion, but as far as I'm concerned it's a slightly different situation, Folau said and did what he did as an individual, yes he's a representative of Australian rugby and as such has to mind what he says in public, but he is entitled to his views an...

Re: Gallagher/Bunnings NPC rugby!!
Need to get bums on seats. Hard to do when no one knows who these guys are. I don't think that is necessarily true, many of the teams, including the non franchise ones run out with double digits Super players, so that's not an issue, and local players are often known in their province. But if you'r...

Re: Jaguares back in Super Rugby
I think a better solution would be to scrap Super Rugby and instead elevate the NPC - have the 4 or 5 Oz teams join that. Not a bad solution. It would definitely dilute the talent between the 14 NZ teams. But 14 NZ teams vs 4 - 5 australian teams is hardly fair from an outside perspective. If all c...
