Queensland Reds forward Angus Scott-Young is facing a lengthy Super Rugby ban after being cited for striking former teammate James Slipper during Sunday’s win over the Brumbies.

Scott-Young entered a ruck and hit Slipper on the back of the head with his right fist in the 29th minute of the 36-14 win at Suncorp Stadium.

The 21-year-old wasn’t punished at the time but SANZAAR’s disciplinary committee has since cited him for contravening Law 9.12 which states “a player must not physically abuse anyone”.

Slipper was sent to the sideline for a head injury assessment after the incident.

Sunwolves flanker Ed Quirk was red-carded for a similar offence last year and SANZAAR’s citing commissioner deemed Scott-Young’s actions met the threshold for a red card for foul play.

Quirk was later given a two-game ban for his offence.

Scott-Young will learn his fate at a judicial hearing on Monday afternoon.

Does the next Wallabies coach have to be an Australian?

No, bugger off Schmidt, stop interfering in Australian rugby to keep us down

Your selections are rubbish and your game plan is unAustralian. Go back to NZ. Oh wait, you're actually still there ......

Which is why more depth needs development. There are are several players waiting in the mix who will be good to great ABs. Our bench replacements this year were not always up to the mark

Disagree.


The challenge for the All Blacks now that they have 7 of 8 starting forwards locked in and all but one bench forward (only one loose forward and bench loosie to settle on) is to sort out the starting backline as only 9 Roigard, 12 J. Barrett, 11 Clarke and 15 Jordan had good to outstanding seasons in 2024. All the other backs were inconsistent or poor and question marks going into 2025.

he should not be playing 12. He should be playing 10 and team managers should stop playing players out of position to accommodate libbok.

I wouldn't take it personally that you didn't hear from Gatland, chief.


It's likely he just doesn't have your phone number.


You can't polish a turd. No coach can change that team at the moment.

Well if you’re correct in that assertion then it blows up all of the numbers in the original post that came from, do you recognise the overall number or even the 300k residual for senior male player numbers in SA?


Tbf, even 300k senior players is an impressive resource, particularly if there is a residual of untapped school talent that could be developed if required and resources allow.

I’d say SA continuation is pretty much a slam dunk. They have brought much to the table in the URC with revenue growth, fan engagement and player enjoyment - yes, this is a factor too! On top of that there is still much headroom for further growth, both in the URC and especially with EPCR. The only resistance to SA teams comes from the English at present, mainly because they can’t win the CC any longer and their clubs are in real financial shit, but their recent overtures were firmly rejected.


I can only see great things on the horizon for SA inclusion in the URC and EPCR, if the right format adjustments are made. But if they are, then further success will follow and there is a strong likelihood that 6N becomes 7N as well.

Great post and spot on in your analysis about generations to develop African rugby. There’s a strong argument to say that pursuing the successful URC path they’re already on and getting the EPCR comps to do similar will provide a role model for African countries AND fund SA activities, such as the development tours to Arg you mention, to help grow African rugby in parallel.

That's twice he has tried to run at forwards and got his butt kicked. This isn't school boy rugby anymore. Give the ball to the forwards to take up and manage your runners outside of you. Ask Pollard for advice on how, if you don't understand

“I think if you asked me that question maybe three years ago or when I first left Australia, I had so much, I suppose, animosity or professional anger inside of me just because I felt like maybe my talent really wasn’t looked after in Australia.


“But to be honest now I feel like I am where I’m supposed to be, like here in Scotland. And I feel like all those things that happened early in my career were meant to happen because now I’m sitting here talking to you guys in the position that I am.”

From the horse's mouth. It's a better rugby destination.

That's a bit of a "NZ" only problem, because those players need to reach such a high standard to be chosen by the All Blacks, were as a country like Ireland wants them a lot earlier like that.

Nah. Ireland had to put in a lot of work on guys like JGP and Lowey to get them to the standard expected. There were areas of their game that were sub-par when they first came over from NZ.

They don't go for money, but for lifestyle, and NZ uses PI's a resource like everyone else. They don't belong to you.
