I agree. I was just pointing out that given they came late to the party regardingv7s having resisted the move the IRFU making this move isn't too surprising.

Not overly surprising given they resisted setting one up for a long time.

These competitions are more for development so branding means little. I'd like to see two new teams plus possibly an expanded schedule.

I genuinely believe something like this but with 10s would be ideal.

The proposed move to the franchise model certainly would have encouraged the investment.

It's being reported by Rugbypass that Red Bull may be in line to purchase the Newcastle Falcons.

The NZ U85kg team comfortably accounted for the Sri Lankans 55-7. Thinking on this tour and the suggestion that something like thisvkind of squad could be useful in providing more opportunities to Asian nations. I wonder if a Club based national aquad might beva better option. The best...

Yeah. Terita looked dangerous every time she touched the ball. And Pohiva made a number of crucial plays early on when needed. Impressed with Miller as well. Not had a lot of touches but has been playing much bigger than her stature in defence.

Pohiva also off.

Definitely an interesting proposition. But I'm not sure about it against Sri Lanka. Mainlu because watching their game against Malaysia they didn't lack for size.

Would be interesting to find out how the Hunter Rugby Union have gone about getting this up and running to see if its replicable in other areas.

Issue is, how do you better monetize those views?

It's the 2nd time in the last few years Spanish juniors have come out on top of the Scots. The Spanish U20s beat them to be promoted to the JWC in 2023 as well. Importantly they were actually competitive against the French and English.

Not U20s but the last round of the U18s 6Ns played out last night. It's a great tournament. Some really close games. Wales pipped Italy in a high scoring 41-39, Ireland got the win over Georgia 26-21. Spain recorded their first win at this level of competition with a 29-12 inva game they were...

An MLR standard comp would be a step up from what we have now.

Somewhere like Ballymore would be decent. I'd like to see something like this. The issue is cost. But if you get us, NZ and Fiji on board that alone would give you a solid base of players. I actually wouldn't mind using the RPL format either. You could run two men's and two women's games a...

Watched the England/Spain U18s game last night. A lot is being made of Spain at present with their qualifying for the RWC and their bid to host to 2035 event. And going from what I saw last night they'll be competitive enough if they do host it. It may have ended up 43-19 in the end but it was...

I'd like to see Vic kept alongside NSW and Qld having 2nd sides.

Binge had 1.5m subs as of mid last year compared to Stan 2.5m.

A quich search suggests It's the 4th most subscribed service behind the big 3. Ahead of Kayo, Binge, Paramount+, Hayu, Optus Sport etc.
