The Silver Fern

@NTA said in Aussie Community Rugby:

So, despite winning the GF easily, they were disqualified due to the competition rules.

There's no incentive, i
s there

@NTA Sad isn't it and it's disappointing when politics factor and favoritism factor in. Realistically the competition is fierce with so much talent out there

@NTA I feel sorry for that young man.

@Kiwiwomble yes, I get that, Skill has a lot to do with it and there are other variables and I do realise it will change from year to year , it was just an example but when it is put to Pacific Players , this is the gateway to SR and this is what attracts the player to make the move to Australian Premier teams, what is the success rate. I would say, it's probably not had a thorough inspection. I was just wondering.

@NTA Thanks , that gives me a bit more clarity.

Basic workout with the % international players per SR team

I was reading through the thread and can see you are all Immersed in the sport and culture of rugby. I'm interested in your opinion on the prospects of pacific players selection into the Super Rugby. It appears the % of Pacific players in SR is low and rightly so, as I think Australians should have precedence. Where my concern lies is with (particularly the young) Pacific players are poached for Premier teams (the % varies from team to team), in essence are advised Premiers are the gateway to Super Rugby selection but realistically what are their chances of success, which is where I feel things aren't quite transparent. I did a basic workout with % of SR International players, divide this by the Premier teams (per state) and that not including in variables like how many pacific players per Premier team, cross over of selection from other states etc and what I discovered their chance of success appears to be less than 0%. What is the reality and process if you are able to explain.
