Embarrassing that it couldn’t even sell out

Rugby league would destroy union players in the back line running and skills. Speed and agility in bucketfuls compared to the rugby union players. In terms of goal kicking the union ball is slight rounder/fatter. It's easier to kick accurately over distance so I doubt there's any real skill diff th...

Aren't the Aussie league guys taking on the nz Union guys soon in a hybrid game?

nope, every year this comes up. the organise approached the NZRU over a year ago and nothing has happened since.

Next World cup for rugby will be japan 2019 then France 2023. 2023 should have gone to Ireland but when you guaranteed a net revenue return of $600 million its hard to turn that down.

After watching the NZ/Tonga game today, The possible all blacks match , the renewed interest by Canada, France and the US, the international 9's series.... Wow, the mind just boggles . The possibilities are just endless. I almost feel sorry for that other code :(/ :rofl: This weekend australia vs w...

It would gain a lot of interest, the big question is how you would structure the tackling rules. Would players be held in tackles or be able pass the ball on with hybrid matches? its not happening, the abs were approached a year ago and nothing has been said about this. The abs have far too busy a ...

The eligibility rules are the same as rugby but only difference is once you have picked a country you can’t swap. That’s what most people a critising. Smaller nations like the islands rely on heritage players to be competitive. I see nothing wrong with that at all. It just becomes a farce when when ...

They are an umbrella organisation for all Olympic and none Olympic international sports. Basically the governing body of international sport. Their recognition allows sport to gain government funding especially for those developing nations. So basically they do not see rugby league as a separate spo...

Not what you want to hear just 3 days out from the World Cup. So does this put it in the same boat as AFL being a none international sport?

Good to see 45k turn up to a dead rubber on Saturday. Wallabies finally get a win. Things maybe looking up for them?
