This moron wrote a piece a couple of weeks ago how Sailor was the main attraction at the 2003 RWC, SBW in 2011 RWC and that Sam Burgess will do the same this years RWC...

What a very one eye piece http://aviewfromthetopblog.blogspot.com.au/

Don't get fool by the league media, the Pacific Islands as far as rugby is concern is in safe hands. Theres a lot of exposures in the Pacific Islands with professional competitions from all over the world in the local papers, news and even the odd games here and there from Europe and Japan on...

Mascord again. http://www.theage.com.au/rugby-league/kiwis-can-claim-to-be-number-one-if-they-topple-england-at-home-20141119-11q301.html

Whatever David Faalogo is saying or trying to say is very far from truth. Rugby league is not even anywhere near rugby now which is mention in the piece. It's not even close to football and other sports in numbers of clubs, participation and development. I think there are probably twice the...

http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/league-surpass-union-samoa/ Maybe Steve Mascord can explain how this got to the press knowing it's far from the truth

He's a rugby union player coming back to his sport. There were a few NRL clubs that wanted his signature so its not that bad. Hope he does well

We said the ARU would walk away from Super rugby not the Bledisloe Cup or The Championship Series. The NZRU and the ARU aren't stupid enough to walk away from the biggest rivalry in the SH when it comes to TV ratings and broadcasting rights. Yes, the test matches between the two Tasman rivals is...

Its no secret that the ARU are losing money every year on super rugby and rugby in general. Can you imagine what it would be like in NZ rugby if there wasn't a US$200 million Adidas and US$80 AIG sponsorship deal?

The NZ born players of PI origins can do what they like and choose who they play for but as soon as they choose to play for the Islands there NZ contracts aren't so certain anymore. It use to be an open books and any NPC teams can have as many PI players they wanted with no strings attach...

Just read this and I think this World club 7's concept will be huge in a few years time and I don't know why the ARU hadn't thought about something similar for SH teams including some NRL sides...

Would have loved 10 a side rugby to be given the notch as a Olympic sports but I agree that 7's is great as it is and if you extend the clock it will just add more misery to the lesser teams. Sevens is suppose to be a hit when you have as many teams competing so many fans of those teams and...

We are already teaching the kids all that many more skills playing rugby.

That's about the same numbers NZ pay tv SKY gets for its local super rugby games. Not bad for a country of just over 4 million.

Cheers Pfitzy, exactly what I was trying to say. South Africa has alot of potentials as well to expand its market to include Zimbabwe and Namibia or even Kenya but it doesn't look that great for NZ unless they expand into the Australian market which is the reason why I mention the ARU having the...

Your right the ARU don't have the money yet to go it alone but the NZRU will be foolish to ignore the plight of rugby in Australia in favour of the South Africans. South Africa can afford to go it alone as well and will Australia in the future but NZ small population and sponsorship market will...

I had expected more from Pulver when he went off to the SANZAR meeting and I know he and ARU holds all the cards if they wanted to change the face of SH or even Australian rugby. NZRU has no legs to stand on if the ARU decided to go it alone and put tenders out for NZ teams to join them in an...

Your probably gonna get 10,000 fans just to come and watch the Haka first and the rugby second.:)

Would love to see the Reds put in an offer for Carmichael Hunt now that he's a free agent. Genia, Hunt, O'Connor, Cooper, Sautia, Turner, Shipperley, Fainga'a, Kerevi

I really don't want to see rugby points getting out of control abit. There was nothing wrong with the points when they were 4 for a try and 2 for conversion (6 converted try) back in the days. When rule changes came into affect in the early 90's tries went up to 5 and 7 for a converted try. I...
