Ex-SA coach on the 3 things Springboks must fix before facing All Blacks

Gee you think Nick? Anyone watching would come up with the same and obviouse points. I'm also not sure it's at all pertinent as this will not be the team taking on the All Blacks.

Advice for all rugby coaches. Stop taking 3 points unless you are A, in the lead and B, the 3 points will increase your lead by another score. Saturday vs Argentina was a good example as were most of the Stormers URC defeats last season.

Rugby union's sniffiness around making money is exhausting

I am sure you are right, but it solves only financial issues for the richest nations ..

In six nations, except maybe Principallity stadium for last 2 or 3 years ,all stadiums are filled every year. Myself I try to go every year or every 2 years in GB to watch a game, often not with french team, and it's more and more expensive… So I am not concern for Six nations money…

Robbie Henshaw could be next major star to exit Leinster

I mean, really love the guy when he is on song and he has been there for some really big moments over almost 15 years. Big, fast, can score tries and I would say underutilized at 12 when he was younger as himself and Aki were such a dynamite 12/13 at Connacht. But he will be 34 and has a long and varied injury history. A last hurrah in Pro D2 perhaps?

Oz is stacked in the back three. Suaalii would only crowd that room. There is a lack of centers and center depth. He has some beautiful moments there. Give him more time.

“ International rugby is very profitable, club/ regional rugby is not “

In France, clubs rugby is far more profitable than International…

Unlike other sports, and us, it seems we want to make money without développing the sport : allways the same games, old tournaments and return to old tours…

If it is a choice, why not ?

Your post is vague, ask prooer questions and I might be able to answer. What people are you referring to.

Yes, ask any Safa or kiwi and they will back me up on the x factor issue.

I do think rugby has a sniffiness about making money. Feeling we don’t want to be ‘like the rest.’ But at the end of the day, our world revolves around money. If you’re not making it (or at least matching your costs), then you will be dissolved and forgotten.

I think France have less spécialist than the top14 clubs….

Something is sure ,if England and Ireland, for example, want to play 4 games together next year for “ the greatest northern rivalry “ and abandon the rest of six nations,like Australia and Argentina in the south this year, french rugby will survive easyly…
