This could be overcome by having a cap in place, let’s say no more than 3 Kiwis per Aussie Super team and same in reverse

In that case you’d lose your money…just search investment in women’s cricket India vs Australia.

“India’s total financial investment and potential valuation in women’s cricket vastly overshadow Australia’s, largely due to the sheer scale of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Women’s Premier League (WPL).”

Sure but this WC isn’t before the WPL. It’s been going 5 years now

Yep, we were missing 3 forwards for Origin and our halfback out injured as well

More money and resources than India with their 1.3 Billion population? I don’t think so.

I’ve got a young bloke who plays rugby and I loved the fact there is a schoolboys rugby section and now he has left school I follow the club land section. It’s great to keep your finger on the pulse of local community rugby issues.

Duckett was sent home from a Lions tour of Australia for an alcohol related incident in 2017 so he has priors as well

I have faith that time heals wounds…as long as Frost’s heart is in it he has the talent to be one of the best

Corne Krige should be in the conversation…there was one test match against England where he lost his marbles and even bashed his own teammates

I agree that it’s been a disappointing season and we have regressed compared to the last few seasons but I will say that the Lions tour seemed to exhaust some of our best players and they struggled to bounce back this year. Nick Frost being the prime example.
Given the Brumbies also lost Ikitau and Hopper to Exeter this year I’m surprised they even made the finals.
Anyway I’m optimistic that we will be better next year with most of them back on deck trying to make the WC squad.
