Darren Childs has quit as Premiership Rugby's CEO

Why Les Kiss and Stuart Lancaster can lead Australia to glory

NB 37 minutes ago

Any job would be conisdered ‘lesser’ than the ABs, but they are still alive and coaching.

And Smithy’s WWC win with the Black Ferns was hardly nothing, in fact he rated it his most memorable achievement!

The most influential factor compared to American Sport may be that rugby is still so very young as a pro sport. It hasn’t had much of a chance to value that kind of experienced head yet. It takes time to accumulate enough relevant experience, and rugby is only 30 years old.

That group needed an experienced head in it, which is why we went after Wayne Smith, who was 90% ready to accept an offer. When he finally turned it down we didn’t pursue anyone else of the same calibre.

When 2015 swung around, the same chickens came home to roost, unfortunately.

It’s been discussed and so have been ways of mitigating it.

I am not convinced all rugby folk are so shallow though. If they know their rubgy then they know what he achieved at Leinster, and indirectly through Ireland.

‘Current form doesn’t matter’: Commentator on potential All Blacks midfield

Cantab 45 minutes ago

The attacking role for midfield backs is to create space for the wingers/full back to score and to provide support for them. It also helps if the halves move the ball with speed and accuracy at the outset to start the process off. On defence just don’t miss tackles. In recent seasons defence has usually been sound but attacking plays not so much. There are a number of combinations that could be effective but is of course the selectors/ coaches who decide that. Not easy.

Surprise position switch for Sevu Reece as Crusaders prepare for Drua

Cantab 1 hour ago

Let’s hope the Crusaders are switched on for the entire match this week and have done work to remedy the deficiencies that Moana exploited so well . The Drua are a different team in their own backyard and will deal to them if given any opportunity. Let’s not have a repeat of last week.

Four Australians racing into contention to face the Lions

Mzil, I only recently learned Hodgman was only 31 myself, so you’re certainly not alone there!

Canham is a good shout, and he’s coming along nicely in new colours - as is Darcy Swain for that matter.

Whether Gleeson and Hooper feature this year, without a return date confirmed (despite best intentions) remains to be seen. Different to Ikitau, in that we know he’ll return after the Exeter stint and for how long.

And Tizzano will certainly be there. I didn’t need to include him here, but he’s just no longer a fringe player!

Yep. The general game is without any rock star 10’s at the moment. Albornoz and N’tamack are about the only test 10s now that have something. Albornoz is probably the only one who even carries to the line these days.

I think D’Mac is a gifted player but a natural 15. It doesn’t really mater now. They just need to stick with him as any player will improve in their position with a run of games in that coaching environment. A steady 7/10 can be enough.

I know he’s divisive amongst Kiwis but he returned from an ACL at 23/24 yrs which takes a lot. He’s got my full respect for that.

Yeah good idea, I like that, kinda like with an NBA All Star game, the players are (partly) chosen by votes or charity work or something.

It’s got nothing to do with cards. It’s about performance in two W Cups by the No 10s. Get some reading glasses!

My bad. Let’s just carry on failing with the same tried and true. When DMac was 10 v France in Dunedin the ABs scored 7 tries; the same in Mendoza. Let's leave him on the bench till the game is already lost or better yet in the stands just in case he might run sideways. BB and SloMo can get the job done. No need to take a risk, especially now that Razor loves his Little Mo. SA will be delighted. No risk Kiwi - that’s the answer / the road to Cup success!
