Yeap - these types of arrangements happen all the time. What I would say in your example is, Samu did not perform any type of official work while he was at Bordeaux. What you have linked is a stock photo from previous years Wallaby shoots and an announcement page. Foketi has travelled across...

Both Foketi and Wells are demonstrating their business naivety. I reckon if you told RA / The Tahs that the Chiefs wanted you to do pop over to do some promo that RA would have been ok with it. Especially considering we saw the inverse was done for Ross and the Reds last year (or was it this...

It just reeks of typical whinging the NH does. They want the SH to shift their rugby season to coincide with the 6 nations i.e. TRC played in Jan / Feb / March, any growth in the game comes from the SH including Japan + the Pacific Islands in our competitions and now the Irish have to fly in...

Look, I agree that Brad and the Reds asked a lot of a young tight head. BUT, Taniela's injuries stemmed from a Wallabies training program that had an extremely large volume of achilles injuries which was made worse by the rush to return for a RWC. An argument could be made that Taniela has not...

I dunno - Slips popped in February for cocaine, the Reds (and presumably Thorn) supported him during this period saying he has had depression for awhile during / after his mums battle with cancer. The second time was harder to defend but he wasn’t thrown to the wolves. I think it was handled in...

Ben Robinson, Stephen Moore, Nathan Sharpe, Pat McCabe, Matt Hodgson, Ben Daley and Laurie Weeks all come to mind. You could almost say Will and Quade fit the criteria as they essentially retired when they went to Japan.

Best RA can do is French + South Africa.

Due to how long Hodgman was out for last year, we essentially played the entire season without him and replaced him with Ross. The same thing can be said about Liam Wright. Brial has been performing at a level that has matched Liam’s most recent contributions if you ask me. Second row is the...

Because jas has shown he can’t run and under line all season?

Filipo demonstrated the difference between him and JAS with that scrum move and got us into a scoring opportunity. If we had another match I would be saying get Potter off the wing, move JAS or Max to the win and Flipio goes to 13.

Too late for that - let Les concentrate on the Reds and succession planning being right. RA needs to start putting the AC who will be around Les in place and ensuring we never play with a static defensive line again.

Brainless stuff by Carlo only to cap it off by falling off the tackle. Horrible selection to pick him over Lukhan.

Wasn’t that a deliberate knock down by the French player on Potters offload??

The balance of the team feels a bit off with both Bell and Taniela starting. Bobby is the only one on the bench who may inject the require line breaking ability in the second half. Frost, Williams and Hooper all play the same type of game which is needed for supporting Bell and Taniela being the...

Be bold Canterbury and bring back the cotton jersey.
