Didnt they want Barry Hall to cross codes at one stage? Dont forget Izzy and C Hunt. Plenty of players could play both games. From my reading of what the early form of rugby was, there was a lot of "MARKS" and they were reported with scores. And the original aim of the game was to have...

Ireland have abandoned all Rugby for current season. They were at the pointy end of the All Ireland Club season with only 3 or 4 matches to go, then finals. Assume they will get going for the 2021 season in September if this thing starts to settle down

I actually think it would be better pursuing a Hybrid game with AFL. At least central to both games is the competition for the ball at all times. Not sure if its ever been contemplated. AFL boys would have to toughen up a fair bit and then sort out the tackling.

Ireland has cancelled all domestic Rugby competitions, https://www.irishrugby.ie/2020/03/19/19-20-domestic-season-to-conclude/

Are we looking at entire competition abandoned this year?

Ireland postpone all Rugby for the rest of March https://www.irishrugby.ie/2020/03/12/irfu-and-provinces-suspend-domestic-rugby-activity/

I would have thought that Fox would have built in a RIGHT OF LAST REFUSAL in their current contract pertaining to the next set of rights. Anyone know if they do or not?? Given they have had exclusive rights for decades I find it hard to believe they dont have a right of last refusal, for...

yeah, I know that now. Shot the post out too quickly before reading the rest of the posts.

Phillip would not be far off the pace. Agree with the other names listed. Some like Frost we will have to wait and see what develops. But the 2nd Row position is evolving faster than others, String beans seem to be on the outer and Bigger heavier types preferred.

I thought they were trying to lock in Saturday night. So Rugby audience was tuned in from 3:00 pm Shute Shield, then 5:30 NZ game and then 7:30 Aus game, continuous Rugby. Where does GRR fit ?? Why we need a NSW & QLD GRR side to help fill broadcast gaps and strategic scheduling to...

Will the 1 game on a Saturday at 7:30pm be exclusive to FTA or available on the pay provider at the same time? This will be a sticking point in negotiations. I hope its exclusive to FTA to give that platform maximum revenue. Otherwise chanel 10 won't pay much.

Ownership = NSW Country, ie everyone outside of Sydney. They get good support wherever they play in the country. It's a brand and it exists now ready to go.

Agree, and might actually be worth $800k, It astounds me, but I am starting to change my opinion of her. Getting Rugby out of the pay wall into mainstream media is huge. Go you good thing, to quote the great C Handy

Then if NRC is being chopped, why not use Country Eagles as the 12th.?

At his best he is very very good. A real 10 with great passing and kicking skills and ability to take it to the line and put the defence in 2 minds. His performance vs Uni in round 1 was really something special. His kicking game was superb. Like most 10's , just add confidence.

Wasn't the axing of the Sunwolves up for review along with a fast tracking of Japan into the RC??

Do it by Nations AUS. Koroibete NZ. Savea SA. Faf ENG. Itoje IRE. Ringrose/JS WAL Wyn Jones SCO. WC FRN. Garces JAP. Matso ARG. Crevey FIJ. NS I'd say between Itoje and Faf, Koro & Savea both with chance

Easy when you have Ijote in your team. How many turnovers did he get his big mits on?

Some pretty lineball forward pass calls in first half
