    The AFL still has ~5 games per week exclusive to Foxtel/Kayo I think. Definitely feels like streaming is on a knife's edge at the moment (not that it hasn't felt that way for a few years), and what that reformatting looks like is up in the air. Sport exclusive services, unless they're run by...

    When you look back at 14-15 through about 18-19 the series felt genuinely inspiring and exciting to watch. The hype of Olympics was extremely fresh, new Nations were starting to properly invest in the game, you had 10 events with some great locations like Las Vegas and Paris that felt like it...

    It's really really important for people to understand the difference between: Transfer Fees - Private arrangements between two professional sports employers to transfer the current contract of a player between them in exchange for mutually determined financial compensation. Training...

    Wallabies 2025

    Cheifs roster moves have consistently been slightly odd. Last season or the one before they had 4 looseheads who were all in and around starting premiership quality but lacked depth in other positions.

    My own reading is that it's a plan for a URC B using the existing "professional" clubs in line with the other moves (i.e. selling Zebre to a local enterprise) and providing an (eventual) route to Challenge Cup and potentially URC inclusion for these sides, which are currently locked away behind...

    I think it could potentially have the opposite effect. Right now, "generally speaking" European/Japanese/American teams can sign Australian players confident that they will have full seasonal availability to play: for French teams in particular this means that they are available in both the AIs...

    Where does decent begin and end? Of what I can remember off the top of my head: Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Ozark, 13 Reasons Why, The Crown, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Sex Education, Bojack Horseman, and Emily in Paris all have at least 4 Seasons. Certainly not saying your point...

    Until the Super Rugby finals, or Champions Cup Finals, or Crossover Finals, or the Nations Championship Finals gets hosted in Dubai/Doha/Riyadh, nobody will give a rats arse about Middle East involvement. Administration, Sponsorship, Prizemoney, Broadcast: all these are either out of sight out...

    My laymans understanding is that Veneto is the most rugby mad area of Italy, containing a lot of more successful clubs like Treviso, Calvisano and Petrarca followed by certain parts of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. There's always been a desire for a Rome based side (a Rome side was slated to...

    yeah, I poorly articulated it but that was sort of my point. The FIR wants two teams and funded Zebre indefinitely after the collapse of Aironi, but have now decided to take a far more pragmatic version of things, flogging a 2nd license rather than the Zebre franchise, and by the sounds of it...

    There's a lot of shit you can throw on the NH but this is something the FIR would have wanted for a very long time: Zebre was built to ensure they had two teams after Aironi collapsed 12 years ago, and they resisted having two teams essentially of top of each other for a very long time: Treviso...

    For all the people that yammer on about the talent drain and transfer fees, this is exactly how things should play out: player is contracted and team looking to pick them up pay a release to access them.

    While he's certainly competent, he's not managed to bring whatever it was that made him a very good club/provincial coach into the international arena. Unless the RFU are sniffing a different batch of coke than I am, he needs to beat Japan, and probably beat them well, and that gets him through...

    Scotland v Wallabies at Murrayfield 12.40am Mon 25 Nov

    Primary injury for Scotland is Jack Dempsey. With the A Game against Chile the day before, you can reasonably expect that the team will be largely composed of the player's who have lined up against Fiji and South Africa, with some additional positional changes due to player availability. I've...

    It was moderately funny that all 3 seemed to be pushing themselves as "not part of the old boys" when, at least Benazzi and Robinson very much are, just representing different factions.

    November Internationals (excluding Wallabies & NZ)

    Dempsey the biggest loss, but we do have the depth to cover in the back row. Williamson and Brown are highly rated but I think Townsend would have always wanted to see Craig in the lineup alongside Glichrist/Cummings for the last game.
