Been a while since I have posted here. Back in the Swedish Senior setup again as an Assistant - we play our last two RE Trophy games in the next couple of weeks - Ukraine this weekend in Croatia then Lithuania in Lithuania.

Holy shit just got caught up on this entire thread. Glad to hear the forum will still go on (?) . Been on and off this site since dam near the beginning. Keeps me up to date on all levels back home while Im on my world travels.

Great signing . Ive been to some of Rennies CPD’s over the last few years and he is top shelf. Despite his CV not showing international experience I am very excited about this appointment.

We squeaked home after starting with a hiss and a roar. 26-22 https://www.rugbyeurope.eu/2019-20-reic-men-xv-m7-latvia-vs-sweden

After the All Blacks v England game, there is another powerhouse match up afterwards in Sweden v Latvia at 10pm ESDT time saturday night which can be streamed at www.rugbyeurope.tv . Im one of the assistant coaches for Sweden .

Very familiar with the Dutch comp. I spent 5 years in Germany coaching and we went over to Holland quite a bit to play pre season games or tournaments with the youth. With the experience in Germany , and knowing the challenges they faced with Rugby being a minority sport, its even more of a...

No Im based in the South near Malmo/Copenhagen. we have a few foreigners playing in our 1st xv but majority of the squad is Swedish players. The level of our competition is mixed. the standard of the top two teams is competitive . Say a 1st grade subbies level / 2nd or 3rd grade .

So im 3 months into a new coaching role in Sweden . Interesting the different struggles T3 nations have compared to others . Real passionate community here , season runs through summer for obvious reasons .

Canada beat Kenya 65-17 Germany beat Hong Kong 26-9 As I predicted , Germany “upset” Hong Kong however I made this call when looking at the lead in form in the previous games , and factor in the travel and this is the result . Canada Germany is goung to be a cracker .

They've done their homework and got quite a few though already over the last couple of years , plus there is some quality players that will meet the 3 year rule if they do qualify for the world cup that become eligible.

They have a realistic chance . Its been a while since I had posted in this thread so I went back to see what I missed and of course there was discussion on the whole Belgium/Spain/Romania fiasco and how Germany was given a "Bradby" like second shot at it. Not alot about the circumstances behind...

heres the skinny, some of his team mates from his U18 team are in the wider German Squad for the repechage. I get you , but you cant stop a kid and his dreams, if he makes the ABs it will be the biggest story in German Rugby. There have been others in the past that have made the top french...

Honestly, I dont think it would have been good for him to stay in the German system , as much as it pains me to say it. He would have ended up in a french academy or a UK based academy. If he doesnt make the AB's then he is still eligible for Germany and can make that decision when the time...

to be honest I dont know the eligibility rules regarding schools players, but all i know is , it was all above board, and its his goal to make the all blacks. He aint going back to Germany.

New For those in Brisbane this weekend for the Australia Schools v NZ Schools. Great story to come of this one. German 16 year old (yes 16) Anton Segner made the NZ schools this year after 18 months or so as an exchange student. He made his debut starting against Tonga , with a (commentator...
