@brumby_fan Why is there no talk about 6N being later? Even 6 week, super rugby could be six or so rounds in (half way ish) and take a break, wouldn’t disrupt the end of the NH domestic season.
@AnotherGibson@JCartmell77@AndyRoweOnline Sure, but that’s not a headbutt in the clip, the change of direction and dip would be a mitigating factor normally but the tackler is bolt upright
@JCartmell77@AndyRoweOnline It’s *literally* always been the defenders responsibility unless the attacker does something dangerous (raised knees, jumping, elbows etc.). What you’re objecting to is actually less tolerance in the application of the laws for head contact.
@AndyRoweOnline Straw man argument, show anyone a clip of any sport they don’t know the rules of and they’ll be confused. Show anyone with the vaguest understanding of rugby and they’ll explain that responsibility is on the defender to make legal contact.
@haribaldijones It was brain dead then, unsurprisingly it’s brain dead with the benefit of hindsight too. McLennan, Jones and their sycophants in the press were terrible for Aus rugby, not just in results at the time but in impact that will be felt for years to come.
@CaptNeilMac@haribaldijones In what way was Eddie Jones, who was parachuted in, tanked their chances at the World Cup on purpose, gave the middle finger to stalwarts, alienated fans and the press, put a dent in the young players confidence and then scarpered like a rat off a sinking ship unfairly treated?
@kinson88@samworthingtown@steve_l15@wwos@StanSportRugby Re: Global Calendar. Seems there's no talk about concessions from the Nth Hem. Wouldn't it make sense from a performance/welfare perspective to push the 6N by 5/6 weeks (+ align with RC) so the Super season starts before the intnls? Surely add Japan+ Fiji to RC while we're at it?
@OBBY001@googharrison I’m no RA fan, and they clearly have the money to just pay him out and probably just should have, but I don’t get what the specific issue with RUPA is and he seems to acknowledge he broke the terms of the contract?
@OBBY001@googharrison Not following what the issue is here, he broke terms of contract against a seemingly clear agreement, RUPA gave him advice without giving legal advice (which they can’t), so he’s trying the case in the court of public opinion? What did he want from them?
@StephenFerris6 It’s a literal non-issue, the games of the most popular oval ball sport in the world take 3x the game time to complete. Who cares? Speed it up or don’t it’s not a life or death issue for rugby
