Maddison Levi: 'Starting well is something we've been working on'

Shame to see what it's become now. A misfiring ABs will still probably put 40+ points on the wallabies.

Picking known entities in his first squad might be shown in future analysis or at least theory to be a pure statistical choice of their 'cohesion' framework. The introduction of 4 or 5 new All Blacks in the first couple of squads would be a very respectable investment in the future. Dmac is not Razors king to the manor born, it is NZR's.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising they way you are expressing your'self. It is more that you are wrong, so gave a few subtle suggestions about waiting a little longer so you don't put you foot in it as bad and could see where you might be going wrong ;) You are, and should for the health of all things, express those flawed opinons afterall. I enjoyed your comments and angle, so please don't defend why or how your posting, but what (originally).

You'd be still living under apartheid with that attitude.

It will only a matter of time until the "Players" will take over the game worldwide.

The sooner the better.

Simply they are the game.

It was invoked to allow Brad Shields to play for England before he touched a ball for Wasps

They haven't adapted to the professional era. They use to sign up promising young players. Those players couldn't play anywhere else in the World for 5 years. I don't know if that is still the case. Control and Power is their DNA.

The ARU are broke and the NZRFU have chosen the path of "The Dance of the Slow Death" with Silverlake.

The All Blacks playing the Wallabies is a hiding to nothing.

Anyone can see the "All Black Brand" is declining, as far as a Dominant Brand is concerned. "Not fit for purpose"

Former International players and astute investors can see a "Huge" business opportunity in Rugby.

Silverlake are an "Investment Business" It won't be long before they see, the business sense of dropping the NZRFU and go with the Player's Association or some other business entity, who is prepared to rival the NZRFU.
