Couldn’t agree more @paulcullystuff , it’s the most subjective and unsafe part of the modern game. I played under some law variations in the NPC 2016 which I thought got the balance a lot better

Good'un from @paulcullystuff ... as per. *** Last day of the jackal? Swain incident puts focus on modern ruck dangers smh.com.au/sport/rugby-un…

@RugbyReg Would prefer something like not being able to kick for touch in your own half #endlessrollingmauls

New law refinement for rugby. Remove the scrum as an option from the penalty. Stops repeated scrums as teams just scrum for a yellow card and not points. I love scrums but that’s not a spectacle the game needs.

Four north vs south series deciders in #testmatchrugby coming up this weekend…the most successful concept in rugby is the lions tour….remind me again why the powers that be think a word league is a good idea again!? @WorldRugby

@james_horwill @ianprior90 @kinson88 @MelbourneRebels @westernforce @9NewsQueensland @StanSportRugby @wwos @SuperRugby Would have been more impressed here if he mentioned the Simon Cron - Norths connection #atkoknows #dulestwocents

Current @MelbourneRebels captain Michael Wells has jumped ship, signing with @westernforce. The club will announce tomorrow. Interesting move to leave Melb after 1 season as capt. Leadership may have been a carrot in Perth | @9NewsQueensland @StanSportRugby @wwos @SuperRugby

Mixed emotions on this one 🤔 Good for overall competitiveness but personally I’d like to see a longer stand down period and a cap on the number of tests played for the first country.

World Rugby Media@worldrugbymedia

The World Rugby Council has approved an amendment to the regulation 8 that will now permit an international player to transfer once from one union to another subject to demonstrating a close and credible link to that union via birth right. world.rugby/media-zone/adv…

Have the top 8 nations ever been this close? 3 or 4 behind them not far off either. Game is healthy overall just need to get the officiating consistent and refs less influential on results

Dean Mumm@DeanMumm

Is anyone else just a little bit excited about @rugbyworldcup 2023 after this weekend of Rugby. Some big shots fired by Sth Hem teams but absorbed and Nth come up trumps. Slade, Du Pont and Beale at their best. Wayne Barnes clearly best ref at the moment. #AutumnNationsSeries

@geerob Exactly. People also forgetting that this year was extraordinary circumstances. We also had QC and SK for many weeks outside the release windows.

Georgina Robinson@geerob·28 Eki

Rennie raises a strong point in the Japanese three signing their deals with no thought of playing Test footy again. Do they get the deal in the first place if they go in saying they might be called up? Hard to say. But does explain why it was extra sensitive this time.

I reckon there’s a potential Test Match of the year in here. Which of ‘em are you setting three alarms for? @StanSportAU

Rugby I love you but you’re bringing me down. Some of these decisions defy all logic. #NZvSA

Two things. 1. Boks should have closed that out but great test match 2. Maybe Argentina shouldn’t have also worn their dark blue alternative strip tonight?

@BMcSport @Subbiesbattler @IBloodyLuvRugby Yep. Take games to smaller/regional venues. Short term contracts/match payments for additional players required to fill wallaby gaps. 🔑 is make it something the provinces respect & want to win so they don’t rest everyone or let them have NZ/Jap sabbaticals

English

Brett McKay@BMcSport·6 Eyl

@Subbiesbattler @davemcduling @IBloodyLuvRugby Have been saying this for some time now. The players are still contracted, the structure is there. It's the easiest, cheapest, quickest, least offensive, most bang for buck solution going, and it could happen next year with not much additional outlay..

I miss the NRC. We need something else. University comp? National club comp? Another NRC?

Expand the RC ASAP. Maybe two tiers held concurrently with promo/relegation. Enforcing Reg9 for full strength squads is crucial. Inevitable that SA will leave eventually, north/south calendar unsustainable for them

It's been a long time coming, but the Pacific Islands will finally have a presence in #SuperRugby - but what about international rugby? #SuperRugbyPacific ✍️ @TomVinicombe thexv.rugby/2021/07/14/the…

Exciting times for rugby in this corner of the globe. IMHO they should have dropped the super rugby brand and started fresh #SuperRugbyPacific

@kinson88 Taken out of context I reckon. If you read/listen to the full interview he’s actually saying after Saturday for the guys in the wallabies that have now played the all blacks for the first time “maybe the aura has worn off a bit”
