It took me a while to find them, but they were a great help.

'Haves and have nots': The Six Nations numbers reveal hidden truths

My bad, should read 1999!

'Haves and have nots': The Six Nations numbers reveal hidden truths

Yes <three phases would prob mean set-piece straikes or turnovers G.

Linout is atill by far the biggest single platform for try-scoring, with 55% having lineout as the starter.

The bench is having a big say in how the game is played as ppl discover how many forwards they can squeeze on to it.

No it isn’t, which is why I felt it was worthwhile translating a lot of the fascinating stuff within it JD.

The RWC cycle is ofc the acid test for club-country coop as the national side tends to wnat more time with the players then.

Not sure if Top 14 will be as compliant as it was for the home WC in 2023 though. That home WC had far more allure!

South African rugby's top heavy house of cards

SK 37 minutes ago

I think everyone knows that the SA teams are prioritising the URC which is why they have been so bad in Europe. The champions cup group stage fixtures couldnt come at a worse time for SA franchises. They come hot on the heels of the Autumn internationals and in December and Jan when its coldest in Europe and as hot as it gets in SA. During this period SA franchises have to leap from Africa to Europe one week after the next. SA franchises sometimes have to hop from Europe back to Africa and then back to Europe in 3 to 4 weeks. Mandatory Springbok rest periods are opted into by franchises to keep the players fit as the Springbok players cannot play year-round and injuries take their toll. Fatigue also sets in for players who have played non-stop since March as there is no global calendar. They don’t get a chance to regroup again until the six nations. SA teams prioritise what’s in front of them. The Springboks are top heavy and SA franchises are in Transition between the new and older generation. There are lots of youngsters coming through but they need more time at the top level. Coaching is also in transition in SA Rugby with many coaches at a young age. The age group levels SA has underperformed but the talent is there. Its coming through at franchise level and these players are getting great experience playing in a variety of comps. I would hardly call it a house of cards though. Succession planning has already become a reality. At Prop the Springboks are already replacing the seniors, at Scrum Half the Springboks are building depth and at 10 they have loads of options now and at 4 and 5 the Boks have used a host of players in recent years. Rassie has a plan for 2027 and the best coaching staff at international level. He has some difficult questions in front of him when it comes to the squad but is finding answers at the moment. Yes its possible Springbok performances could dip this year and perhaps in 2026 however I would not bet against them continuing to dominate while in transition. There were similar doubts cast about them last year and they proved the doubters wrong.

Japan's proposed anti-diverse 'blood' eligibility law after foreign player influx

Japan national team should be for Japanese players. God what a groundbreaking epiphany.

Sounds like common sense to me. All the eligibility stuff is nonsense.

Crusaders impact could put veteran O’Connor in Wallabies mix for Lions

I can see it now. JOC to kick a series winning penalty just like Morne Steyn has done on two separate occasions.

No, they fundamentally changed their pathway system (not talking about main clubs/squads). Like I said, I don’t think the cause for the changes they made were for the same reason, but the changes themselves were along similar lines.

Again, to make things clear, this is not about the national team(s), this change is for the levels below in Japan. Nothing at all to do with the Brave Blossoms, they will remain exactly the same playing group.

And to make things extremely clear, I’m referring to changes FFR and LNR made that just resulted in the movement of age’s to the younger side for imports (rather that promoting French), with no (from what I can see) noticeable change of the source of those players. If they want rugby to become more popular with the youth in the country etc then the next step towards targeting that my be more extreme manipulations of the rules. So that funds can instead be moved from signing foreign talent to the participation of rugby in schools/other areas of France etc.

I think he would add heaps of value to their set-up. I would like to see him get a run off the bench though.

I love the open borders idea. I hope they hurry up and implement it.

They have criteria for playing squads etc but their national team is hardly full of imports like the blossoms are

I don’t know about that one, what are you meaning? FFR and LNR have already taken localization action like what Japan are doing. I’m not sure/can remember what the motives were for them, I think it was just about making a more affordable market for players and pathways.

With their recent poor results, both domestically and internationally (in terms of what results they would like), and depending on what their exact motives were the last time, you could definitely see them taking a further step along the lines of giving more French players opportunities. To make results more in line with potential.

Why ex-All Black believes James O’Connor deserves Wallabies recall

GP 2 hours ago

I agree with former Crusader and All Black Izzy Dagg. James O’Connor is worthy of call up to the Wallabies. A place needs to be for found for James. The Lions are a huge challenge. So impressed with him here at the Crusaders.

You may be right. I hope he does get picked though. It is going to be intriguing who gets picked on both sides of the Tasman.

You are wrong. Clearly the Australian teams have got better , with there being one less team. Joe Schmidt has made a difference. I would not be so dismissive of the Wallabies. I would back James O’Connor to play at 10 or off the bench for Australia. Loving his work at the Crusaders.
