European Club Rugby

I wonder if this will help towards a global season. If this is a fiscal success for the two SA teams and established teams, I imagine that others will find a way into Northern Comps.
@Hooroo
I think this is a step in that direction. Anayi & Co intend this to be a global club championship - not a NH or European one. It's the first comp that encompasses both hemispheres. -

Yep,however if the Cheetahs and Kings are not successful i.e. they don't win a lot of games - will they still be seen as a viable prospect for punters?

Has anyone actually seen Treviso, Zebre and the Dragons play?
Outside a few eye opening wins they're generally very shit.
The Cheetahs and Kings should finish above these three for starters.

@MiketheSnow You would think - except the SA teams do seem to suffer more than most when not playing at home. They seem to grow an extra leg when playing in the Republic, and are a bit like Samson with short hair when away from home too long. The rigors of a home and away comp plus travel will surely take their toll.

I think the Kings are on the verge of turning things around. They played some great rugby after the international break
Against some considerably weaker opposition than SR sides they'll do fine

Halfpenny's move to the Scarlets confirmed.
Dual club & country contract.
Direct replacement for Liam Williams.
Will be interesting to see who gets the nod at 15 / in the back 3 come the Autumn Internationals.
The Scarlets are now my closest club.
May have to get a season pass. -

Monopoly might be a bit too cerebral for Manu. Plus based on his injury record he might be more familiar with Operation?

I guess Charles isn't coming back anytime soon
Entirely predictable. He wasn't going to be competitive coming back because he certainly wouldn't have become a better player while up north.

a million squids a year to play 2nd div rugby? fucking sign me up. Winning world cups is nice and all, but it would be a big ask to give that up for much less money and only a chance to win something

@mariner4life 2018/19 season. They should be back up in the top division by then.
