@AllTheRuckusPod Some interesting ones though: Spain, Portugal, Italy, Georgia, Romania, Poland, Netherlands have some good domestic games! And most based around cities with airports, just have to get the timing right!

Wish this was more of a thing in rugby, would be unreal going to a random country to watch a game and experience the culture But I guess in most countries it would effectively be watching a pub league unfortunately

Genuine respect to those men who - once they’ve started wearing shorts - will see that decision through until mid October. Regardless of any meteorological changes.

🚫 Diamond making the most of his coaching ban. Reason no.785 why we love rugby.

@philllewellyn Exactly - if it’s telling someone how to kick or game manage - he’s probably the right person. You can have all the qualifications you want, but coaching in a high performance environment is also another level that only experience can prepare you for in my opinion

@jacksongareth9 I think there are a lot of factors at play like you say. The word ‘coach’ is an incredibly limited term to be honest. It doesn’t do justice to the breadth and depth of the role. We also don’t know his exact role so it will be intriguing to see how he’s used.

Time to re start the debate about what coaching is and whether you can move straight from playing in to coaching? Can see lots of positives and downsides of this from a purely coach focussed perspective (ignoring the personal angle which others seem to be covering a plenty)
