perth is the fourth largest city in australia and are alone in the west. one of the eastern teams will be forced to merge with another. warratahs are in sydney, reds are far in the north, so i think it will be brumbies and rebels merging.

Read a news article that said Brumbies moving to Melbourne was a possibility. If they merge the 2 then the players who miss out on the Brebels can go to the Force and might even strengthen them.

>>74858134
It would be crazy to see Lewis at 3 considering he barely even plays for Blues. I thought he looked like he had a lot of potential but just hasn't had proper gametime.

That angle doesn't really show how shitty the tackle was too. Taylor was closer to the ball, but Coleman was quicker, so Taylor jumped out of frustration.

Taylor went in two-footed and off the ground, and he smashed the leg first, then it caught like a pinsor.

The guys a fucking idiot though. It's only five games into this campaign but he already kicked a Serbian player in the head and bust his face open.

How do I win the Bru pool from here lads?
>>
>>74862689
Hooper doesn't get turnovers, Hooper doesn't contest at the breakdown, Hooper occasionally makes a clean out, Hooper occasionally makes a tackle, Hoooer spends most of his time standing by the ruck rather than in it, Hooper just runs around following the ball, Hooper doesn't change, Hooper is only good for tackling and ball running, Hooper is a useless 7, Hooper is only in Starting XVs because of his condition.

Reminder Munster and Connacht are the Leinster B and C teams respectively.

Reminder 50% of the Connacht team is from Leinster.

Reminder Munster is essentially a South African development side and Connacht a Leinster development side.

15. Nacewa
14. Byrne
13. Kingrose
12. Henshaw
11. Lowe

Literally scared shitless about Wasps lads, currently one of the best club sides in the world.

Missing McQuilkin, practically one of the best defence coaches in the modern game, not convinced about Lancaster in that role, have conceded loads of tries, though the players do talk about how him very highly. Might get to 100 tries in 22 league games but really just want us to qualify for a Semi-final.

desu if we get a game out with all leagues and internationals licensed that would be a huge step forward

> that absolute clusterfuck where the Wallabies and All Blacks were licensed to one game and everyone else the other
> squads dont even have real players in
> have at max 2 leagues

id just buy it for the novelty

Weirdo crossdresser who sexually abuses younger players on his team with beer bottles. Avoid at all costs if you see him IRL, and never get on a boat with him.

Pretty funny guy with some memey but comfy videos

As a rugby player he's good, but England wont get to the next level with him. He can play a simple gameplan and execute what you want but lacks the class of a Kaino, old Alberts or even a Fardy. Have seen him go missing against world class packs many times.

Was god awful for the Highlanders a few years ago too. Couldnt handle the pace

Alright lads, serious discussion time. How do we fix the rugby calendar? For real.

The only thing that's certain is that the Six Nations has to stay at roughly the same time of the year, because it's by far the biggest annual money spinner of any international tournament, but should the entire club season be played out before it starts, with Champions Cup final on around the new year?

It's something that's going to have to be dealt with in the long run.
>>
>>74896359
You guys need to seperate your international periods from your local comps, and challenge/champs cup.

Its just stupid to allow clubs to pressure players not to play, or to play weakened. Or to have champions cup spread out over months and months.
>>
>>74896529
I like having the European competitions spread out through the domestic season. Teams having to fight on two fronts is more interesting, and if you're going badly in one competition, you usually have games coming up in the other one to keep you interested. Xhallenge Cup is total shit too. If Connacht had nothing but Challenge Cup games for two months I wouldn't watch much of it.

The Six Nations should definitely be at the end of the season though. Daft that so many lads have to spend two months away from their clubs, then come back with just two under weeks for training (and no games in that time) and are expected to play knockout rugby.

The Jags (and Pumas) are good sides but its their depth and shitshow of a schedule that costs them. They can start seasons strong but by the end theyre so fucked and low on confidence they play like shit

It doesnt help the Pumas that their first tests every year are against the All Blacks which would destroy most teams confidence

Ive said it before but another superugby franchise in Argentina would do them the world of good.

HOW TO FIX THE PRO12
-Reduce number of teams
-4 Irish provinces, 3 Welsh teams (cut Dragons), 2 Scottish teams, 1 Italian team based in Rome
-Have two conferences Italian/Irish and Scottish/Welsh
-Teams play against sides in their own conference home and away, and only play the other side once, alternating home and away each year
-13 games a year regular season
-Top team from each conference goes to semi-final
-Highest points totals in a combined table decides the four quarter-finalists
-Top 6, regardless of conference or nation go to Champions Cup, 7th and 8th play-off against each other for last spot to account for any potential imbalance caused by conferences

Advantages: Shorter season, with higher ratio of derby games, more knockout games, less deadwood in the competition
Disadvantages: Conferences can cause imbalance (although I don't think Edinburgh are any better than a combined Treviso/Zebre would be, and the three Welsh sides could divide up the decent Dragons players), more confusing for casuals

The main reason I want this though is that the AIL, the Welsh Premiership, Scottish club rugby and the Italian league are dying on the vine. I'd like to see them have access to their players who are playing pro rugby, like the NPC teams in New Zealand do.
>>
>>74905458
It's dragon year next year, can't cut them now.

Why is Connacht's name so different from the other three provinces?
>>
>>74905873
That's gas. You can see it in the difference between Irish games (GAA) and foreign sports (soccer and rugby). All the big GAA games are on Sundays, and the main TV show is the Sunday game, while soccer and rugby are Saturdays.
>>
>>74905901
Because Connacht is more resilient to englishfication of Ireland
>>
>>74905901
Because it's the only one that's kept its original Irish name and was never planted by the English (mainly because of shitty weather and bad farmland).

Connacht comes from Conn of the Hundred Battles.

Ironic because you're having a little whinge about the targeting of the correct people whilst whinging about the Irish when the PIRA membership was largely born in a country where that flag in the corner of yours is the national flag

Anyway, thanks.

There was also a fifth province, the royal province. It was called "an MhĂ­" (pronounced "on vee") but that was folded into Leinster after the Norman conquest got rid of the High Kings,

No wonder Leinster is so big. It should be split again.
