The Scots will compete with Samoa, Colombia and the runners-up in the final Asian qualifiers, which see Japan, Hong Kong and Kazakhstan face off next month.

Easson wrote on Twitter: “Could not be more proud of this team. The work they have put in and the belief they have shown is testament to the sacrifices they have made over the last 18 months.”

'Let's not sugarcoat it': Former All Black's urgent call to protect eligibility rules

Nice Beaver (to use a movie quote)


Jokes aside we need to move with the times

Not full blown but picking marquee players


Maybe in the past we couldn’t done with the likes of Piutau Fekitoa Luatua etc but even then they were well covered


Other than Mounga there is not one player who would be hands down better than anything in the ABs, ABs XV or NPC/SR


We are always going to have players head off

'Let's not sugarcoat it': Former All Black's urgent call to protect eligibility rules

Yes all the arguments about the Black jersey is true, but what if the super Rugby pacific league is not contributing to the players improving, is it good for All Black Rugby. If players are playing in the top 14 French league it also gives younger players opportunity to play super rugby while your top players are improving. If the All Blacks slips down the ratings because of quality of competition in their league they will be thinking differently.

'Let's not sugarcoat it': Former All Black's urgent call to protect eligibility rules

What are you talking about mate. There's been at least one South African side in the final of the URC since we joined. The Sharks won the European Challenge Cup and yet South Africa lacks any domestic comp. South Africa has the varsity cup, which produces players for currie cup, which produces players for urc teams, which is why Rassie can use over 50 players without any drop in quality.

I'd say Rassie has well-and-truly proved that a load of bollox. Nope, like the pommie so-called Premier League, who also refuse to allow 'overseas' English players to play for their country, it's thanks to greedy club owners who see their profits draining away and can't bear the thought that their power has gone. We have a similar issue with Jake White over here who moans that he can't get the players at the Bulls as they're all over in the UK etc earning the money that his stingy union (and the stingy SA economy!) can't or won't pay them. But, hey, they'll learn sometime. Thank heaven for Rassie!!

Oh right. So the bragging about selling the most AB merchandise worldwide is just a load of bollox? Talking about the AB 'brand' isn't anything to do with professionalism? Come into the 21st century and you might finally understand what it's all about, and why your silly union made a huge mistake in kicking the Boks out of so-called 'Super' rugby, probably thanks to poephols like this bloke. Hey but WTF do I care?

'Let's not sugarcoat it': Former All Black's urgent call to protect eligibility rules

Different sport I know, but NZ cricket does not have a problem with players plying much of their trade overseas and still being available for the national side. Can't blame players seeking the big $$$$ in order to secure their longer term financial security. Provided players are still available when required then give them their sabbaticals

Donald is spot on. This is simply about making Richie Mo'unga eligible for the All Blacks again. Back yourself and your 100 other coaches to coach the New Zealand based flyhalves to be outstanding at test level. Maybe Harry Plummer might have done a good job as a test flyhalf but he never got a shot. Shannon Frizell left and Wallice Sititi has made the #6 jersey his own. Razor knew NZR'S selection policy and would have been fully aware of it when he took the job.

I didn't hear it was axed. I heard it was a one year thing to test the waters and currently last heard from the JRLO guys they are waiting for something more relevant.


What about a Nov 7's or 10/11's season starter tournament?

A deal in what way? JRLO standards a pretty low, about par with the NPC. You could flip the season somehow and play the big dog Super teams once the joint venture comp finishes? Currently JRLO and Super both finish in June (starting to get really hot for them at that time of the year).

Yep just start with current ones overseas and put a freeze on new players being eligible while overseas. Test it out, see how it goes. Personally I don't think they'll be as good.
