SirFozzie Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Well... Not a good look for major league rugby... As the top two teams in the West, Austin and Los Angeles have been disqualified from the playoffs due to salary cap shenanigans. Both teams are owned by the same person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Who has the US rights to SupeRugby or whatever the Southern Hemisphere club competition is? I got a cool Sharks hat and shirt from WRS on clearance for $25 total and wish to follow them (their logo is the greatest thing ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohtani's jacket Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The All Blacks' build up to the first test against Ireland has been less than ideal with a COVID outbreak in the camp. The head coach and several members of the coaching team tested positive for COVID along with three players -- two midfielders and an outside back, the latter being try scoring sensation Will Jordan. The big news though is lock Scott Barrett being selected at 6, a move that backfired spectacularly in the World Cup semi against England. To be fair, there are some injuries influencing the selection, but the coaches are also enamored with the idea of having more size and physicality on the field. They want an extra lineout option since Ardie Savea is undersized at No.8, but this is what infuriates me about modern rugby. Scott Barrett, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea are three of New Zealand's better players, which is why the coaches want them on the field at the same time, but Barrett is a lock and Cane and Savea are both number 7s. The Irish backrow must be licking their lips at the prospect of taking on that All Black combination. Beauden Barrett was selected at 10, which personally I have no faith in. The All Blacks seem ripe for the picking. Ireland lost their midweek game to the Maori All Blacks, but I doubt that will have much bearing on the test match. Irish fans don't seem overly thrilled with their match day 23, either, but this is a weak All Blacks side. The only things in our favor are home field advantage and the possibility of a tired Irish team after a long Northern Hemisphere season. Not confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) As long as he's managing England into the dirt and not bothering International Rescue, then I don't mind at all. In the day's Sports News, Wales are 18-3 up in South Africa at the half, with an 8 minute Dan Biggar sin bin to fight through; although I'm told the live bookies still have the home side as favourites.

ohtani's jacket Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Ireland showed enough outside of the second quarter NZ blitz to show they can win the second test if they cut down on their errors. I will admit that the New Zealand backrow played better than expected. The result was somewhat of a surprise. The scoreline flattered the All Blacks a bit. I still feel that New Zealand gives the opposition too much possession. We live off turnover ball and our attack thrives in broken play, but our losses in recent times have shown the folly of relying too much on turnover ball. England played dumb rugby, and Wales weren't brave enough, as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
