@TheVoon 14. Everyone but Webster played test footy. Plus Andrew Heath and Jason Little came off the bench as did future Springbok captain Andre Vos!

Love it. Now check out the teams the last time the Reds beat the Canes over there, 1998!

Canes 33 - Cullen, Umaga, Leaupepe, O'Halloran tries; Peston 2 con, 3 pg

Love Barnsey. He was unsung with Canada with his close friend Kieran Crowley and bloody good with the Flying Fijians. He always talked highly about coaching with Dave Rennie at the Chiefs so this appointment was a lay down misère…..

New All Black assistant coach Neil Barnes knows to end a press conference with a gag

@drift_node037 @brumby_fan Richie Mo’unga ‘played’ for the All Blacks. It doesn’t make him has been.
3 and 6 are seasoned Super players. I’ve coached Will Harris at Shute, it’s only a matter of time before he gets called up.
Point is - Force can’t blame player quality for performances this season
English
It hasn’t been the easiest draw to start the season, but this Force team are loaded with quality. Only 9/11/15 you’d say are weaker links.
There’ll be some legitimate questions asked if Simon Cron can’t make the finals with this talent

His sacking was a terrible decision, and the Wallabies have been in years of rebuild purgatory since.
Should have been asked back to replace Joe Schmidt.

New All Blacks coach Dave Rennie on his experience with the Wallabies? “I’ve got no regrets. I’ve got a lot of strong relationships there. I learned a lot from coaching at that level. It wasn’t an ideal end, and I obviously didn’t get the chance to go to a World Cup. But I felt more for about 13-14 players who would have gone to a World Cup with me who didn’t get to go either. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to go to one next year.”

Drua 0-2 and I’m battling to see who they beat this year. An Aussie team at home their best bet.

@hughcavill Every AFL $ wasted overseas is a $ not targeting mums in NSW/QLD. As a code they have the resources to consign Rugby to niche status in Australia.

No greater ongoing joke and waste of money than Aussie codes trying to crack foreign markets. The state of this

AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon is off to India 🇮🇳 The league boss will head there, along with head of strategy Walter Lee, for a week to meet with sports commissions as the AFL has India central to the next phase of making footy global. Story here 👉 afl.com.au/news/1461370

Players and Coaches - accountable

The BIL tour wiped out a massive RA debt - necessary & amazing. But what got them into strife in the first place - an operating structure bleeding cash every season, now has to be addressed fast. Expect a significant round of cost cutting - which will hit the HP/Teams area (3)
English
Can someone explain what the benefit is here? RA are better off with two teams from QLD & NSW and a combined states team based in ACT.

Scary gap between Australian 18’s (basically the beat schoolboys and a handful of U18’s) and Australian Schools (effectively their B team)
Next week Australian 18 play NZ 18’s and Australian Schools play Fiji Schools. Fiji have been in camp for close to a month & beat Oz in 24

RA has to recognise business as usual isn’t working.
The next broadcast deal must have a FTA component that shows highlights of Super & World Rugby. Hire quality disruptors who know how to street fight. Leverage hard the competitive advantages it has relative to AFL/League (end)
English
Coupled with a broadcast deal that funds the top of the pyramid but gives the masses limited access to the game, Rugby is withering on the vine to the point it is a niche, not mainstream sport to many Aussies.
Despite these challenges, Australian Rugby can rebound (8)

A reflective thread on Australian Rugby.
Joe Schmidt has done a predictably fabulous job of turning around the fortunes of not just the Wallabies, but of Rugby Australia.
It is impossible to overstate the positive impact his tenure has had on the mood in Oz Rugby. (1)
