Starting play in Super Point: The team who scores the first try in regular time has the choice to kick off or receive in Super Point, which was formerly known as Golden Point. This replaces the coin toss.
WTF? I mean i hate
goldensuper point anyway, but seriously just have a coin toss.Why? It's a nice, simple way to sort it, gives teams an impetus to score tries and less faff. It's actually the one good change.

@darylmitchell Draft helps to build stars and keep fans engaged throughout the year. Just tough to do it in a multinational league. They’d need 3-4 separate drafts.

@canefan it must be pride, dont want it to look like we're just copying good ideas from other codes...and so we do ugly bastardised versions
Isn't that case with everything, or are some here gullible enough to think Dally M or whatever wasn't copied from Hart Memorial trophy or something.
I actually like rugby's one much better where opposition captain and coach pick the points, you know the ones who are actually out there and know who are the players doing damage, not just the highlight boys! Genuinely think it best way of picking them if you going to have points etc. -
just saw this posted, thought quite a cool training Tshirt, the different strips looks like they represent the different PU's, not showing up on their club shop or anything, nice and simple idea, wouldnt be a bad away jersey

@Kiwiwomble believe it's on Champions of the World

I simply don't see it with Taele - he's too small to be an international midfielder

here's me thinking the offical shops would have everything
how do champions get offical gear the the offical shop doesnt haveno pic loading on champions for me so cant even have a look
-
@Kiwiwomble yeah the champions website has been shambles for ages. The official Chiefs store has less than Sports Safari.

Very entertaining matches
Lovely skills, great set plays
Tackling optional

Usually a lot of defensive lapses in the first round.
By round three it will have tightened up a lot.

I only saw the highlights, but yeah some of the tries were pretty soft. Am sure there was plenty of decent goal line defence throughout the game, but the teams didn't seem to have to work very hard to score when in 10 metres.
Or maybe I'm just accustomed to 6N rugby

So, I thought with this new centralised body to run Super that marketing etc was all going to be better than it has been previously?
But, I didn't even know the comp was starting until reading threads on here this week. I'm more avid a fan than most so how are the general public hearing about the comp?
Maybe it's just an Aussie thing and it was more heavily promoted in NZ?
-
@Nepia All over social media and national news/rasdio have been reporting on it for a few weeks. Could have been promoted more but there’s definitely been an effort made.
If you don’t use social media or watch sports news/radio(not saying you don’t)then I guess you’d struggle to find out these days. Their main push was socials. The new way of the world.
