I always wonder if this stuff matters at all, or is it just managing talent - if you don't have it, then you don't have it? Sascha Feinberg Mngomezulu has played 10 for his URC side, the Stormers, nine times total in his career so far and he's the #1 player in the world according to Rugbypass

Just looking at the numbers..... Meredith has only played significant minutes (> 30mins) 5 times at Super Rugby level, so very small sample size, but it included some good wins - Blues away and Reds at home, although they were losing by a couple of points when he went off against the Blues. Lolesio...

This clearly doesn't matter to our coaches (eg C Gordon)

I don't really understand why everyone is so sure it wouldn't just be Lolseio that's selected? Sure, he hasn't set the world on fire, but he can clearly play to a plan successfully, which no one else has been able to demonstrate so far

If we lose to NZ, it's probably Japan in R16, England in QF and then Arg/Ire in SF If we beat NZ, it's probably Spain in R16, then SA, then France/Fiji

It's where the big screen is going, and the stage goes there for music acts. Temp seating if needed slots in for big sport events

I googled after. Dad played for Canberra, and his brother played lower levels and is now an assistant coach at Raiders (probably why he has this gig) Gits played league until 16, playing and winning under 19 comps I think

Yep 2026 tests + 2027 Super Rugby. Of course, if fit, and selected by the Wallaby coach, and if he doesn't re-sign with his Japanese side etc etc

Lolesio is on a one year deal in Japan, and will be available for all tests this year, and Super Rugby next year, if wanted

Is my memory correct - Gits played plenty of league in the juniors? I'm pretty sure his brother is involved at the Raiders somewhere too isn't he?

I swear I typed LF! (Edited above now)

What it really boils down to is LF needs to find himself a new manager

Fully pro players aren't going to roll away just because someone is rucking them, unless it's so violent that it crosses the line of acceptability

This isn't from the current player contracts, but the wordingof the current player contracts will most probably be very similar to this

I don't think Kellaway has been this player for two years or so now - particularly struggles in defense these days He is a player whose reputation preceeds him
