If we want success for our Australian Super Rugby teams then we need to copy the model they use in the likes of England, Ireland, France and even Japan. Don’t play New Zealand teams.

Lots of young stars emerging for the Wallabies this year. And older stars re-emerging. But one of the best ‘emergences’ has been Townsville as a rugby destination. They’ve hosted a lot this year and deserve to host more. Great venue and great support.

I’m really pissed off at the ticket costs for Wallaby tests this year. If I wanted to take my 3 boys this year to Suncorp to see the Poms it’d cost me more than $500. Double what it cost me to take them to a whole day at the Ashes late last year.

New law refinement for rugby. Remove the scrum as an option from the penalty. Stops repeated scrums as teams just scrum for a yellow card and not points. I love scrums but that’s not a spectacle the game needs.
