You can't pick front rowers for Super Rugby who aren't even playing Shute Shield. It's dangerous and terrible decision making

2024 Crusaders?

Yup. Stay at home, play in front of big crowds and tv audiences, be a household name. It'll be even more and more compelling for men and women. The Penrith or Paris argument dwindles year on year

The Tarneit thing for me doesn't solve the problem. How do we generate enough revenue from Super Rugby to cover the $5.5 mill salary cap (mandated at 95% spend, I believe)

The paypackets of leaguies in general are frightening and only rising

Pleased to see Debreczini back

McReight my pick for captain, followed by Bell/Ala'alatoa

Very pleased with both appointments. Eoin an excellent practicioner, does a lot of good stuff for Irish websites if you follow his socials.

The fact that the Waratahs got themselves into the financial position they did, depsite operating in the biggest city in the country (and a Rugby city at that), whilst irrelevant to the plight of the Rebels, is absolutely reprehensible for all associated.

EEEEEEK. Whoops. Edited again!

Good pick up. Edited for you!

A crack at a 33-man squad of Australian based players, excluding any confirmed to leave Aus Rugby at end of 2024 Bell, Slipper, Tupou, Ala'ala'toa, Schoupp Porecki, Faessler, L.Lonergan Frost, Rodda, Canham, Swain McReight, Valetini, Leota, Wilson, T.Hooper, Gleeson, Gamble McDermott, Fines...

What about Super Rugby running through the mid-year series and then concluding in time for TRC (which conceivably could be pushed slightly further back)? 25 players missing Super Rugby for each of AU & NZ would be mitigated by the exposure it gives younger players and the extra game time for...

Without being a dickhead little old mate above, some teams play around 2nd Grade Bris level, others maybe 3rd. There's definitely players every year who could cut the mustard in QPR or Shute Shield, usually transplanted Kiwis or from the NH
