Anyways, back onto the topic: no big boy rugby this weekend in these parts. Waiting for the Tests to start next week.
Tough away game against Merrylands this weekend. We nearly knocked off a top 4 side in both grades on Saturday but just little things. Second Grade are two good decisions away from being in finals contention at this point, with a failure to find touch on both occasions gifting possession back to the opposition after the bell for the winning score.

Actually NTA, apart from going to club rugby here in NZ this weekend, I also keeping an eye on club results in Brisbane, West/Qld Uni (I would probably be at that if I still lived there, good game and very close to Regatta pub), so keeps interest everywhere.

@NTA. Have been looking online for details of squads. But very little at all. Has anyone seen whether the island squads have drawn in anyone on new eligibility rules?

Sorry missed this - no idea about the squads from other nations, but the Aussies left a few guys at home to look at a few others for the Comm games. Some decent performances overall.

Also the fact they've got a limited window to run this - four teams = 3 weeks. Perfect. Run it alongside the Tests and capture as many internationals as you can.
Six teams makes it a bit shit. You guys are launching into NPC now so you don't necessarily need this to keep your players active. Everyone else is back in club land.

Yeah, I guess we can't win all the trophies from you guys

Shame, really. I mean, your Private Equity paymasters will soon tell you which competitions you're allowed to play in, so...

By the same token you'll be playing the Oz rugby version of the NRL and Origin soon so there'll be a spot to fill in the Pacific Nations Cup if our equity paymasters deem it worthy enough.

I do love his articles, I wish that he would poke his ozzie nose more into the ABs!

@Machpants good article. While stats don't tell you the whole story, he makes a good case for a 6-2 bench and the players he wishes to pick.
Holloway was listed as a likely out so maybe it becomes Leota to 6 and Wilson on the bench.

So there is a golden decade of money pouring in for AR, but where will it go?
We secured a $40m line of credit, we pay a fair interest rate for the money but we used it as a lifeline while we got the game better organised
And there’s a real possibility that we may go and borrow more money to fund ourselves through to 2025.””
Ah, it'll go to paying off debts

@Machpants I'm on the Board of an affiliate union here in Sydney. While I don't get stuff exactly from the horse's mouth, Rugby Australia is exactly what you'd expect of a sports body that is run as a corporation; there are some things come down the pipe that make you wonder whether they understand "rugby" at all...
