Rugby Union

Edinburgh completely dominant but only 10-0 up at HT. They passed up too many kicks at goal, keeping the scoreline close kept Connacht motivated. WP totally destroyed their starting loosehead even though the ref didn't give a pen for the first 15 minutes. The replacement LH is on and looks no better. Hamish Watson and Kinghorn have been good, Van Der Welt hasn't been great.

Munster have the bonus before HT against Ospreys.

Rugby Union is dying in Australia because of the shitty Super Rugby set up. They need to bin it and set up a domestic comp that people care about and can easily follow.

BB bottled the kicks but the Boks were excellent and the ABs got a few favours from Nige. The scrum decision near the end was baffling, not sure who he fucked over on that one. New Zealand haven't replaced Kaino and McCaw, Cane and Squire aren't on the same level.

What's the audience for Union in Australia? With the NRL and AFL being the dominant sports in different areas and cricket being very popular, where does that leave Rugby Union?

It's obviously difficult for them but it's as if they are trying to turn fans off. No Australian team is likely to win Super Rugby and more than half the time a team is either getting horsed by a NZ side or playing in a different time zone.

The ARU also decided to bin the Force rather than try and grow Rugby in Perth. It surely can't be beyond them to put a 8 team domestic competition together.

So looks like Frisby is our replacement 10 then! Also I dont like the move of taking off a 2nd row, bring on a back row and pushing Harley into the 2nd 60 minutes into a game, as if Harley gets injured were struggling for anyone else to play 2nd row! Surely we have someone knocking about that can play 2nd row, or start Fagerson and have Harley on the bench


Jackson to 10, Seymour to 15, Jones on the wing I'd guess for the backs.

Would imagine Fagerson will be 2nd row cover.

They've started a new league including a team in Fiji but only play 7 or 8 games. The western forces owner is also trying to set up his own league which will be eastern asian

The Western Force owner set up a tournament called World Series Rugby with the Force playing the Rebels, Crusaders, Wild Nights and the  A sides of Tonga, Fiji, Samoa and Hong Kong(might of been there 1st XV)

Hello, fellow rugby fans. Due to PRO14 no longer being on ALBA, I am unable to watch Warriors games (given my propensity for moaning, this may be a relief). Could some kind citizen please direct me towards a reputable (free) stream? I also support Partick Thistle so I am clearly a man in need.

Please and thank you.

Spoiler

Ali Price and Peter Horne starting?
