Couldn’t agree more @paulcullystuff , it’s the most subjective and unsafe part of the modern game. I played under some law variations in the NPC 2016 which I thought got the balance a lot better
Good'un from @paulcullystuff ... as per.

Last day of the jackal? Swain incident puts focus on modern ruck dangers smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union…
Four north vs south series deciders in #testmatchrugby coming up this weekend…the most successful concept in rugby is the lions tour….remind me again why the powers that be think a word league is a good idea again!? @WorldRugby
Mixed emotions on this one 🤔 Good for overall competitiveness but personally I’d like to see a longer stand down period and a cap on the number of tests played for the first country.
The World Rugby Council has approved an amendment to the regulation 8 that will now permit an international player to transfer once from one union to another subject to demonstrating a close and credible link to that union via birth right.

Have the top 8 nations ever been this close? 3 or 4 behind them not far off either. Game is healthy overall just need to get the officiating consistent and refs less influential on results
Is anyone else just a little bit excited about @rugbyworldcup 2023 after this weekend of Rugby. Some big shots fired by Sth Hem teams but absorbed and Nth come up trumps. Slade, Du Pont and Beale at their best. Wayne Barnes clearly best ref at the moment. #AutumnNationsSeries
Rugby I love you but you’re bringing me down. Some of these decisions defy all logic. #NZvSA
Two things. 1. Boks should have closed that out but great test match 2. Maybe Argentina shouldn’t have also worn their dark blue alternative strip tonight?
Father’s Day = hospital cup & rugby champs on @StanSportAU ‘carn the heavies and wallabies 🦏 🦘
Expand the RC ASAP. Maybe two tiers held concurrently with promo/relegation. Enforcing Reg9 for full strength squads is crucial. Inevitable that SA will leave eventually, north/south calendar unsustainable for them
It's been a long time coming, but the Pacific Islands will finally have a presence in #SuperRugby - but what about international rugby? #SuperRugbyPacific

Exciting times for rugby in this corner of the globe. IMHO they should have dropped the super rugby brand and started fresh #SuperRugbyPacific
Lekker Taps! @TheSharksZA have grabbed a good one “Hamba Kahle” go well mate
I can’t wait to go over and start my new journey with @TheSharksZA. Excited to meet my new team mates and hopefully create some awesome memories!
I’m not a fan of rugby players swapping countries league style BUT surely a fair and common sense approach would be a stand down period that is the same length as the residency period
Re. Previous tweet before the FRU attacks me I love scrums and respect their place in the game just think that scenario would have been an anti climax and bad advertisement for the game on such a big occasion
In an alternate rugby universe the reds don’t tap and go but keep opting for scrums and eventually win the game by penalty try against 12 players...geez I’m glad that didn’t happen but at one point I genuinely feared it might!

Honestly, I’m just finding it refreshing that for once Rugby Union isn’t the sport currently causing outrage by alienating fans and chasing short-term money over the long-term good of the game.
Really interesting to see if the ‘Tahs can maintain that level of performance after the traditional sacked coach bounce back. For me last night said a lot about Jake Gordon as a leader and a player. There’s a few good 9s running around but he is quality
Top prospect - can play 4-8 comfortably and is a hell of an athlete. Sky is the limit for Kem
The one that got away: How Waratahs let a Wallabies prospect slip smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union…
Anyone in my rugby network got suggestions of where I might be able to offload some old kit? Preferably a charity/community that would really make use of it it
