ABs vs Kangaroos?

Nepia

They may as well just play league if they go with these hybrid laws. It's close enough to league and as far away from actual rugby as you can get.

@Nepia itd be the safer option than getting leagues to scrum/maul/lift in line outs.

Which then makes it a bit of a waste of time as the kangaroos should dominate

In an alternate universe, the ABs should hire Craig Bellamy for one training a week from now until the match is played and have a proper tilt at the Kangaroos.

This thread reminds me of this average team Fox put together.

Haaaa it's like they were trying to name the shittest league team they could think of.

@ACT-Crusader Robinson as well. They were a great team to watch back then.

Yep. Scott Quinnell as well.

Quinnell returned not went to union

Sure did. Went for the league money and came back to Union when money was on the table.

Just thinking about this, if this ends up being basically League and the All Blacks win comfortably, isn't that a complete disaster for that sport?

Rugby has the "out" that it's not really Rugby if they make too many changes.

A bit like Leeds Rhino's in the early-2000's. A must-watch when they were playing

We hadn't even mentioned the likes of Ellery Hanley, Dennis Betts and Shaun Edwards. Not to mention Dean Bell.

Garry Schofield, Gary Connolly

Bovidae

@MiketheSnow Connolly yes, but Schofield was never a Wigan player. Plenty of others at Wigan from that decade like Andy Gregory, Offiah, the Iro brothers, Inga and Botica.

Sam Panapa and Adrian Shelford as well. Joe Lydon.

The Tigers would've win a GF if the Black Pearl hadn't been taken out off the play. To add insult to injury they made Lamb a coach.

I know, when Sinfield was mentioned earlier I threw out class players of that time.
