2 throws not straight and back spams from launching the ball over their only jumper to 4, 5, and occasionally 6. Must be roughly 80% hit rate.
You eligible for NZ?

Zero chance.
One not straight out of about 10 today, won all the rest. I'm getting better

The news comes as Australia’s credibility as a host nation hangs in the balance. The Herald can reveal that with a little more than two months before the World Rugby Council votes to award hosting rights, RA has not yet secured a federal government funding commitment worth about $120 million.
The governing body has locked in a similar amount in state government funding but is yet to receive a commitment from Canberra. A federal government source indicated the Morrison Government was supportive of the bid but potentially not at the price RA was asking.
$120M to have a knock-on tourism effect of at least twice that. In limbo.
$4B disaster fund established after the fires of 2019 that is basically untouched.
$600M for a gas plant in NSW that could be a stranded asset before construction even begins? Shit yeah!
Priorities.

@NTA well he did say don't put your trust in government. He might have had inside info on that sage advice.

Maybe I have missed it, but I haven't seen Charlie Gamble show up with the Wallabies or their A team. Is he injured? I thought he would have least been in the A squad.

I would ask the same thing about Wales, but with a success rate as high as that he's clearly not got any Welsh heritage whatsoever

Arnold fills the quota I guess?
Or (reads 140kg)...they have to stick to the catering budget this year?

From an ABs perspective, you'll have ABs with that team from November through April, with breaks in between, but without having other shit to do for domestic teams/Super rugby, and we can wear the fluffybunnies out before SRP comes around, rather than getting a bunch of tired-ass players.
I don't love it but is is the best idea I've heard.

the more i think about it, the less i can find wrong with that structure.

we could also have the AB's in camp for a bit longer which cant hurt, not just thrown together a week or two before the first game

You have your Spring tour, a month off for Christmas, and then preseason in January for a comp starting end of Feb.
I like.

@NTA some big games early might also build some interest before our club season, get more people down

the primary issue is playing Tests in Feb with no prep, and no ability to pull in active players. You're completely separating test matches from the normal season. So, if you get the situation that you lose to TH props, where do you go? Someone coming in for pre-season who's planning to play a Nov-Aug year?
The lesser issue is playing in summer; rugby in Brisbane in February would be ... interesting. Or Fiji; somewhat challenging.

I like the 6 team, 5 week comp though - although it ignores travel challenges. Just slot it in after SR and have an extended 'test' season. Playing in summer trending to winter in SUper is different to one off test matches.
