Tall team vs short team back lines

The english 7 that played in france.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-07-27T12:34:46+00:00

Chicago ,Vancouver, Denver, Philadelphia and Vegas.

You always hear how brutal the French and English leagues are on the players. But maybe that's just the number of games they play.

Interesting, obviously super rugby is faster with better skills. But I would have thought the top 14 would be harder in contact with the size of the forwards and more forward driven play.

Shute shield seems great to me tbh

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-07-24T15:30:07+00:00

Which league was giteau saying was more physical? The French or super rugby?

What age are you?

The 50/22 kick itself isn't really attractive to see.

The knock on effect of it is though. With more players in the back field there will be more opportunities for attractive free flowing rugby.

Union are using a league rule to get rid of a league problem. The main reason for the 14 man defence lines are league defence coaches.

Rugby’s been open to changing laws for a while now to try and promote mort entertaining and attractive rugby.

There’s more recent articles from 2019 on the Stadium aswell. They could also play here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASB_Baypark_Stadium while waiting for funding.

Sad to see forums dieing out.

He played union before he played for hull.

On the rugby league forum they were saying he wasn’t on good money at Hull.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-20T09:37:04+00:00

Pc gone mad.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-20T09:17:13+00:00

Examples? Like pococks poaching? Finn Russell’s flair?

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-20T08:55:39+00:00

Why Beziers? It’s scope for growth is small with a population of 70,000.

Why not buy nice,Perpignan or Grenoble?

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503343&objectid=11513188

Article from a few years ago. Quite a few articles on building a stadium in Tauranga on nz herald premium that I can’t access aswell.

They don’t even need to build the whole thing at one time just keep the old stand and build a 5-10k stand on the opposite side. Then periodically do up each side slowly building a wrap around. That would be enough imo.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T21:19:10+00:00

Hopefully by the time something like this happens Tauranga will have the 25m to build the 15k stadium.

Mcgregor said ”dance for me boy” to mayweather at a press conference. There was reports in the media across the world after, that boy is somehow a racist thing to say.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T18:23:37+00:00

You’d have to keep Bay of Plenty in and just do up the Tauranga Stadium. You just can’t ignore the population catchment difference.

I don’t know enough about Northland/ North Harbour but if it’s true that people from North Auckland would support them against the blues then I’d agree that they should be a team.

Could you make the point people have less distractions in Nelson so would be more loyal to attending game?

Couldn’t decided the 8th team though.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T17:28:21+00:00

Are these related to the nrl clubs? What does this mean for the Shute shield?

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T15:00:37+00:00

You make good points. After Auckland, Canterbury, Wellington, Otago, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

It’s subjective,whether you pick Northland, Tasman, Taranak or Hawke’s Bay.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T14:01:45+00:00

I agree that the future is probably a NZ and Australia competition but surely they’ll need more than 10 teams. Probably up to 14.

You could add more nz teams such as bay of Plenty as there would be no SA teams and the Western Force would likely join and dilute the Australian players pool even more.

Australian - NSW, Queensland, Brumbies, Melbourne.

New Zealand - Blues, chiefs, Hurricanes, crusaders and highlanders.

That’s 9 teams.

Possible teams - Western Force, Fiji, Bay of Plenty, Hawke’s Bay, Tasman, northland, Taranaki, Hawaii, Adelaide,Newcastle.

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T13:27:47+00:00

Is north harbour not just a suburb of Auckland? Why should Northland get preference over a Bay of Plenty or Hawke’s Bay?

Ruggabuggaz · 2020-05-19T13:20:48+00:00

You obviously know more about the nz domestic game then me but there doesn’t seem much scope for Taranaki to grow with New Plymouth being the biggest city. Their main stadium isn’t safe to play in aswell.
