once upon a time I chased an egg around for a living @Reds_rugby @TheSharksZA @NSWWaratahs. MBA student. LFC fan.

Couldn’t agree more @paulcullystuff , it’s the most subjective and unsafe part of the modern game. I played under some law variations in the NPC 2016 which I thought got the balance a lot better

Good'un from @paulcullystuff ... as per.

Last day of the jackal? Swain incident puts focus on modern ruck dangers https://t.co/AUA5F8xso8

@RugbyReg Would prefer something like not being able to kick for touch in your own half #endlessrollingmauls

Four north vs south series deciders in #testmatchrugby coming up this weekend…the most successful concept in rugby is the lions tour….remind me again why the powers that be think a word league is a good idea again!? @WorldRugby

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

@james_horwill @ianprior90 @kinson88 @MelbourneRebels @westernforce @9NewsQueensland @StanSportRugby @wwos @SuperRugby Would have been more impressed here if he mentioned the Simon Cron - Norths connection #atkoknows #dulestwocents

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Mixed emotions on this one 🤔 Good for overall competitiveness but personally I’d like to see a longer stand down period and a cap on the number of tests played for the first country.

[World Rugby Media @worldrugbymedia]

The World Rugby Council has approved an amendment to the regulation 8 that will now permit an international player to transfer once from one union to another subject to demonstrating a close and credible link to that union via birth right.

Have the top 8 nations ever been this close? 3 or 4 behind them not far off either. Game is healthy overall just need to get the officiating consistent and refs less influential on results

[Dean Mumm @DeanMumm]

Is anyone else just a little bit excited about @rugbyworldcup 2023 after this weekend of Rugby. Some big shots fired by Sth Hem teams but absorbed and Nth come up trumps. Slade, Du Pont and Beale at their best. Wayne Barnes clearly best ref at the moment. #AutumnNationsSeries

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

@geerob Exactly. People also forgetting that this year was extraordinary circumstances. We also had QC and SK for many weeks outside the release windows.

@seanny202 @StanSportAU Sunday 21st could be worth the sleep deprivation

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Rugby I love you but you’re bringing me down. Some of these decisions defy all logic. #NZvSA

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Two things. 1. Boks should have closed that out but great test match 2. Maybe Argentina shouldn’t have also worn their dark blue alternative strip tonight?

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

@BMcSport @Subbiesbattler @IBloodyLuvRugby Yep. Take games to smaller/regional venues. Short term contracts/match payments for additional players required to fill wallaby gaps. 🔑 is make it something the provinces respect & want to win so they don’t rest everyone or let them have NZ/Jap sabbaticals

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Father’s Day = hospital cup & rugby champs on @StanSportAU ‘carn the heavies and wallabies 🦏 🦘

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Expand the RC ASAP. Maybe two tiers held concurrently with promo/relegation. Enforcing Reg9 for full strength squads is crucial. Inevitable that SA will leave eventually, north/south calendar unsustainable for them

[RugbyPass+ @RugbyPassPlus]

It's been a long time coming, but the Pacific Islands will finally have a presence in #SuperRugby - but what about international rugby? #SuperRugbyPacific

Exciting times for rugby in this corner of the globe. IMHO they should have dropped the super rugby brand and started fresh #SuperRugbyPacific

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

@kinson88 Taken out of context I reckon. If you read/listen to the full interview he’s actually saying after Saturday for the guys in the wallabies that have now played the all blacks for the first time “maybe the aura has worn off a bit”

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Lekker Taps! @TheSharksZA have grabbed a good one “Hamba Kahle” go well mate

[Ben Tapuai @benny_taps]

I can’t wait to go over and start my new journey with @TheSharksZA. Excited to meet my new team mates and hopefully create some awesome memories!

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

@karmichaelhunt Give that man a citizenship! @QuadeCooper

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

Did the French 8 go off for an HIA? Genuine question

[Dave McDuling @davemcduling]

How many viewers did this game just lose? #AUSvFRA
