'Hell of a lot more': Ireland’s Jack Conan 'didn't grasp' injury-ruined 2019 Rugby World Cup

Fiji don’t necessarily need another midfielder but I reckon he could be their best anyway.

The problem is CR New Zealand has been a destination for Islanders going back centuries, and it’s teams have built great rapport with them. So it’s automatically like a second home, and a lot of them simply don’t want to leave, and attaining All Black status is the only way you can achieve a reasonable income here.

If WR was able to help in some way, and in helping the Drua and Moana it will help no end with those players, simply being able to receive a good wage for their first home team, or their Kiwi SR team, is what’s going to make the biggest difference to this problem/situation.

Kini still seems to have the raw explosive power, which generates as quick feet and acceleration, but I’m not like his long term prospects with aging.

I’m not sure you’ve understood the change though (or the article has correctly educated me), as there is no change to the Japan team, this is really about participation (incentivizing growth through to the JRLO, and the rest will take care of itself ala SA’s reformation). I think they’re really happy with the fan base as Japan also has a big culture for overseas stars.

Sure you’re not just misjudge the effects of a large population?

At least you got one thing right, a person can call themselves white if they want, or Maori, and be involved in any such like minded group. Just don’t be like the KKK and make it a racial group 😋

While I’m sure you realise you’re wrong about about the picture you tried to paint (and probably new before posting) in your OP, I don’t have faith that you were able to corelate the two examples. Happy to keep replying until you do, again.

They think they’re in a position to do both now?

Crusaders arguably only managed to just scrape out ahead of these sides you’re questioning so I’d being having them in the same boat. But maybe now with Reihana back the Saders will have more than the one trick ponies do? Honestly I would also have the Chiefs in that ballpark, with their Dmac/Steveonson combo not producing yet or having the potential flair a Reihana/Jordan combo might have. Both tougher than the Blues/Brumbies/Reds, and i’d still say Canes for sure though.

But market forces will dictate where players will end up.

If RA wants to retain these players, then it should offer them remuneration in line with or better than what the French clubs can. The NZRFU should have offered Aki, Lowe, or Fergus Burke a higher salary than what was offered by the likes of Irish Rugby, Sacarens, etc., if it wanted to retain them.

These kids going to France and the aforementioned Kiwi players are attempting to build a career and financial security in a career that can end with one injury. Think about that—one bad injury, and your career is over, so just like anyone, they have to make the smart, informed decision that is right for them and their families.

If the likes of Oz and NZ can’t or are not prepared to match the $$$, so be it - this is the reality of professional rugby, and whilst it turns the international game into a glorified club comp, I’m not sure if there is any solution.

And let’s remember it’s not all negative. This movement of players from Nth to South gives kids like Blair Murray or Taine Plumtree the ability to earn good $$ and experience international rugby, when let’s face it, they would at best be on the fringes of a Super Rugby squad - so it’s not all bad!
