Performance against Springboks will be 'proof' of Sexton's form

The most obvious next steps for WR to take is action against the FFR for not sending their national team on WR regulated tours.

Apart from you’re whole mindset way over simplifying things you’ve felt all the pressures on the various unions and bodies, but when Australia has a much bigger sports economy than France, its really just down to you finding the right solution.

There was just an article the other day about Paris for instance, not being a sporting city and putting pressure on it’s pro clubs to merge as a result. Open up you’re mind and have a look, its actually fun and interesting if you get passed the doom and gloom.

Money is the example for situations like Richie Mo’unga, Carl Haymen or Charles Piutau. Names like those and Chandler Cunningham-South, Ethan Roots, Meafou, Dylan Hartley, Jordan, simply wanted a chance to prove themselves.

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 ..

how they will go without education? How they will transition out of rugby with no framework around them? That in itself is the dilemma GS, they are only thinking about what might happen the short term, just like you.

As a surgeon, I’m no stranger to pressure but nothing compares to the panic I felt after locking myself out of my Bitcoin wallet. After a 36-hour shift, running on fumes, I mistyped my password multiple times. I’d enabled extra security (trying to be responsible), and just like that, my $800,000 in Bitcoin was locked down. I tore through everything notes, emails, old backups. I even considered hypnosis. Nothing worked. Then a colleague mentioned BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. From the first interaction, they were professional, patient, and reassuring. They walked me through the process without judgment and gave me hope when I thought all was lost. It wasn’t instant it took weeks but they never gave up. Finally, they cracked it. I got full access to my wallet again.The relief I felt was indescribable. It was like a successful surgery, only this time I was the patient.BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE didn’t just recover my Bitcoin they saved my sanity. If you’re locked out of your wallet, don’t wait. Call them. They’re the real deal. Contact information:

Who’s responsibility are those young people?

Yeah that guy is an example of what you don’t want to do, buy a guy back just because he’s been at a French club. Signing players like him back are the reason NSW got into the trouble of not being able to keep players like Meafou(to be clear I’m referring to the opportunity cost, not financial in signing him).

France simply need to go to a league format for the Brennus, that will shave two weekends of pointless knockout rugby from their season and raise the competitions standards and mystique no end.

The under age loophole is also a easy door to shut, just remove the lower age limit. WR simply never envisioned a day were teams would target people under the age of 17 or whatever it is now, but much like with Rassie and his use of subs bench, that day was obviously always going to come. I can’t remember how football does it, I think it’s the other way around with them, you can’t sign anyone younger than that but unions can’t stop 17 or 18 yo’s from leaving for a pro club if they want to. There is a transaction that takes place of a few hundred thousand for a normal average player. I’d prefer rugby to be stricter and just keep the union bodies signoff being required.

What really was their problem with Kite and co leaving though? Do we really need a game dominated by Internationals? I even think WR’s proposed calendar might be a bit too much, with at minimum 12 top tier games being played in the World Championship. I think 10 to 12, maybe any one player playing 10 of those 12 is the best way to think of it, for every international team is max, so that they can allow their domestic comps to shine if they want, and other nations like Japan and Fiji can, even some of the home nations maybe, and fill out their calendar with extra tours if they like them as a way to make money. As it is RA don’t have as good a pathway system, so they could simply buy back those players if they turn good. Are they worried they’ll be less likely to? We wait for baited breath for the new season to be laid out in front of us by WR.

It could impose sanctions on the Fédération Française de Rugby, but the body which runs the Top 14 and the ProD2, the Ligue Nationale de Rugby, is entirely independent.

It’s not independent at all. The LNR is a body under, and commissioned by, the FFR (and Government control) to mediate the clubs. FFR can simply install a new club competition if they don’t listen, then you’d see whether the players want to stay at any club who doesn’t tow the line and move to the new competition, as they obviously wouldn’t fall under the auspice of world rugby. They would be rebels, which is fine in and upon itself, but they would isolate themselves from the rest of the game and would need to be OK with that. I have no doubt whatsoever that clubs would have to and want to fall in line to remain part of the EPCR and French rugby. Probably even the last thing they would want is to compete with another French domestic competition that has all the advantages they don’t.

All those players would do good for a few seasons in France, especially the fringe ones, with thankfully zero risk of them being poached if they turn good. New Zealand had a turn at keeping all of it’s talent, and while it upticked the competitiveness of the Super Rugby teams into a total dominance of Australian and South African counterparts (who were suffering more heavily than most the other way at that stage), it didn’t have as positive an effect on the next step up as ensuring young talents development is not hindered does. Essentially NZR flooded the locate market with players but inevitably it didn’t think the local economy could sustain any more pro teams itself, so now we are seeing a normal amount of exodus for the availability of places again. Are Australia in exactly the same footing? I think so, finances where dicey for a while perhaps but I doubt they are putting money constraints on their contracting now. It’s purely about who leaves to open up opportunity.

Herbert and Waugh have obviously supported this deal and have brought back Matt Phillip next year. It seems we might need some more of those deals as there are few heading overseas
