Awesome article. I'm sick of this building towards world cup bs that we're flogged with. The national team is a representative side, not a development tool. If you aren't the best in your position or you aren't playing well then you should not be picked. How i'd love to be able to go back to the...

Definitely going to be at every game. will be in gold for the tests, blue for the rebels match and in red for all other mid week matches hoping they flog the fuck out of nsw, wa and act.

1. deans out, Ewen in. We have razzle dazzle players and Link knows how to get them click. 2. Get a farkin solid game plan and if that one goes balls up make sure we have a back up. 3. pick players based on their set piece ability, none of this eddie jones style good open-play forward shit...

south Africa was guilty of hosting the worst fifa world cup in recent history so i'm begging it not to go there. Russia i could stand as they would be able to get some very nice facilities but i guarantee they would need to find a new window in their summer as November is too cold to host any...

why would you bother asking the current ones in europe to come back when they are already on euro contracts and have a international release clause for 4-nations? it would likely be for the next generation of players that such an opening would be designed for.

anyone on fox makes me cringe. i can't stand any of them except kafe. i also agree on the head SA commentator, his is cringeworthy. If there is lot i have time for it's the bbc or a justin marshall/grant fox duo.

Unions aren't paying for them if private ownership of teams increases as planned by the unions. anyway if they are quality players they will pay for themselves by increasing the standard of the competition, thus exposing the current top players throughout the competition to better quality rugby...

people don't really watch it anyway. New zealanders and south africans are dead set bored of super rugby, hence why crowds are terrible in nz. games from south africa played at 2am don't exactly provide a ratings heaven new limited. they do not want to play each other or us, they want to see...

Would definitely see merit in that sort of structure, i'm basically all for the europe model, separate leagues and cups (maybe with a bloody international window) but that would do me fine. as long as long as the unions get final say on how they conduct their 'conference league' as in...

I guess i wasn't so clear on that, this is of course an emotional subject. i meant this financial reason is caused by a geographic factor but now that's getting technical and wordy so we'll leave that.

how much did your last flight around the world through argentina and cape town cost you? That should be your geographic reason. It would not be the same position for us to touring south Africans when the minimum time difference between nz and Australia is two hours compared to 5 hours as well as...

For our sake i bloody hope we don't go anywhere near the americas. It is TOO FAR for a weekly 'domestic competition' to be based world wide, not even the NBA or EPL would be able to handle the demands a world-wide competition would throw up. you might as well have a team playing out of the south...

it is a lost cause because interest in rugby in adelaide is the lowest in Australia by a massive margin and there is little potential for that to ever change compared to somewhere like perth which has a rapidly growing population filled with ex-pats. Media Coverage is generally poor or negative...

Adelaide is the closest you could get to a rugby black hole and already does badly with Socceroos and NRL matches that are played there (both have disappointing attendances and dead quiet crowds), imagine how poor a Union crowd could be? I think with Adelaide it's less of a case of just let it...

i might be exagerating but i was in the south end and was the only bloke in gold amongst a sea of darkness and it didn't look good at all. you cannot argue however that we were completely out supported from the start (not just after a flogging became apparent). Yes i do harp on about aami...

OK so i live in Victoria and i went to the last Bledisloe here at the Jihad Stadium and tbh we can't say we deserve an NZ test match again for years after that disgrace. Australian supporters were completely outnumbered and out-supported on that night in what felt like a New Zealand home match...

and they would likely be playing in it now (maybe for different teams) if the eligibility laws were not so stringent, fotuali'i only left after he chose to represent samoa.
