    USA Rugby backed professional league to be announced soon...

    Watched this past weekend. SF Rush really did a number on SD Breakers and it looks like they're working out how to tailor their "run from anywhere" game to be effective. They're still seriously vulnerable at the breakdown and their refusal to kick at times borders on the suicidal. Denver beat...

    USA Rugby backed professional league to be announced soon...

    I think the small number of teams has forced the relatively short season. There aren't any playoffs either I think for that same reason. The quality of the rugby has been mixed but theres always been a lot of effort, running rugby and - most importantly - tries. Holding it in the late Spring...

    June International Test: Japan vs. Scotland [2nd Test] (25/06/2016)

    First a pleasantly busy Toyota Stadium and now they're aiming to have another large crowd Ajinomoto Stadium. Surprisingly daring move from the usually conservative JRFU. Perhaps they're starting to build up to the WC in 2019 and getting the Japanese public used to big games in big stadiums?

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    His performance does seem to gravitate around that of the rest of the Australian pack. He isn't like some back row players who can literally carry their team's breakdown effort on his shoulders. When the Australian pack are being pushed around then so does Hooper and even Pocock as well... - -...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    And thats not forgetting Will Fraser. I think the quality is so good now that every club in the AP has at least one decent back row player who can put their hand up for England duty...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    1. I think Joubert gets a lot of stick and some of it is warranted (like his great skedaddle in the RWC) but he fared relatively well in this game. England spent most of the game doing what the likes of the ABs do exceedingly well: straddle the line between legal and illegal. At times they did...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    Not quite. Two of those tries came in because not everybody bought into the defensive system. Burrell is a talented guy but Will Greenwood in his column for the Telegraph had sympathy for him when he said a) he probably was having an off day and b) he was caught between the drift defence he was...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    You may not agree with that statement and you may call such sentiments delusional but the the perception now is that last weekend's game was the wild ship of Super Rugby attacking extravagance being ship wrecked upon the cold hard jagged rocks of Northern Hemisphere defensive reality. If...

    We're considering a major upgrade to TRF

    I have only one question: If we move to Xenforo will I be able to keep my "Airhornsman" tag?
