This shows the number of tries per match for the 6 Nations compared to The Rugby Championship / Tri Nations. What happened in 2013 that shifted northern hemisphere rugby to go on this upwards trajectory towards scoring more tries per game?

@ChalynRugby @LaniRefiti While your theory might be correct, you are wrong about the personalities of both. Tana stepped down as Blues coach 1 season earlier than contracted and remained as assistant to allow for Leon McDonald to become HC, because he thought that's what was best for Blues.

@LaniRefiti That’s my concern too and When an alphas like Tana and Rennie comes into one room the personalities will collide and that’s not something you want inside a camp

@OBBY001 That would be great! Hopefully one day elevated to SRP following the foot steps of the Fijian Drua.

An interesting snippet from a SMH piece says Phil Waugh hinted at the prospect of teams from Samoa and Tonga will play in SRAUS. smh.com.au/sport/rugby-un…

I mean that was a great test match, no doubt about that. But seriously, the fact that so many people are ready to venerate this as the greatest 6N of all time? Its key component has been high scoring matches and a kit clash, making a lot of what you’ve said about Super Rugby since like, forever, feel just a tad two faced right now. But hey, keep blaming NZ and Aus for trying to make stuff like this happen on a more regular basis! And this isn’t just a dumbass social media thing, either. This perception literally manifested itself into a situation at World Rugby level just last month, so like maybe put away the partisan perceptions and just admit you like watching tries get scored?

That was a belter of a try. No chance of a bunker involvement. The try, the moment, the fanfare was pure! #NRLRoostersSouths

@JamieWall2 Brodie would have to sign a NZR contract including a Super team for him to be eligible?

Once again it seems like the outside world doesn’t actually understand NZ Rugby’s eligibility rules. Mo’unga will play for the All Blacks this year and there’s nothing actually stopping Rennie from selecting Retallick if he wants to return to test rugby

@will_hooley Rugby 25 is the most licensed game rugby game to date. Pity the game play didn't live up to the hype. I'm sure they will release a Rugby 27 next year to coincide with RWC but let's see how that lives up.

Rugby needs a great game 🎮 A lifetime ago since Rugby 06 & Rugby 08! 1997 still hold rugby’s greatest game: Jonah Lomu Rugby on PlayStation 1 😍 How good would it be to set up your own Six Nations with friends online? What is rugby’s GOAT game? 👇
