Good luck with that. I sure hope we had something like that with out NT. I heard Charles Miller (the guy who introduced football to Brazil) also brought rugby equipment and rules, but that either didn't catch on as expected, or he never brought it in the first place. Who knows, we could have been a powerhouse in rugby as well.

No amount of culling would help the NT, actually it would be even worse because you'd get even less French players at top level. A limit on the number of foreign players in french clubs would help, first. Then, a foreign manager or a young french one with fresh ideas for the NT, because their play is just plain outdated now.

Shit coaching, and Wales were very slow to adopt professional standards. It was only after 2003 that Welsh rugby even started to catch up to England, France and Ireland and it took until after 2007 and the arrival of Gatland to actually get there.
You jinx'd it. Wales win by landslide. England lose to Scotland. Brexit finally happens. Wales secedes from the Union, becomes an independent Kingdom state led by King Jonathan Davies and Queen Nigel Owens.

Irish rugby counts as a home nation and cutting down all those lovely "english" oak trees was pretty fucking stupid. Norn Iron is a home nation in soccer, not rugby.
It's just a warm up for the stuff that's actually important so there's no need to go all out. They could lose all the matches other than the ones against NZ and they'll be treated as based Lions who drew 1-1 with the All Blacks all the same.
Logan Mitchell
I wish the USA and Canada would create something like the british and Irish lions, or at least Argentina/Uruguay/Chile

Top 14 play too many matches. Professional domestic rugby should be restricted to 24 matches including any playoffs.

Evan Foster
>implying we read Singabore's posts
Xavier Watson
Would Argentina deserve a second SR team? They just had a huge outflux of players, notably Sanchez, and find just as good replacements. Apparently there is a pool of quality
Joseph Russell
Why would a 14 team competiton have more than 26 games plus playoffs anyway?
Tyler Price
Top 14 has that amount (26 games and possible 3 play-offs), plus 9 possible euro cup games. That makes it 38 club games a season. Then there's always the odd qualification match: in 2017 when Stade Francais won the challenge cup, they had to play two additional games to qualify for champions cup. So there's a possible 38-40 club matches per year in Europe, but of course not all clubs qualify for the play-offs.
Mason Russell
Didn't they already scrap the qualification matches? This should no longer be an issue.
Sebastian Rogers
Down to 38 from 40. Yee haw!
Jonathan Hughes
*slowly comes back to reclaim his rightful top spot* Something HUGE is about to happen boys
Connor Baker
The issue there is the combination of multiple tournaments containing the same teams. The solution is to split the tournaments.
Anthony Edwards

Thomas Brooks
The idea of the Champions cup is that it's contested by the highest ranking teams in national tournaments. Challenge cup is for the leftovers. So they can't be split, because they are intertwined not independent.
Jacob James
>Top 14/2=7 then have knockouts an shiiiiiitttte. Norf frogs vs Souf frogs
Yeah but that's stupid. There are simpler ways to determine the best team in Europe. Make the european competiton its own thing but have a relegation system where the bottom placed european team gets replaced by the top team from the same country.
William Wright
I'd actually love to see that. Touring the Polynesian islands would be based if they could put a strong enough team together.
Ethan Nelson
We beat the Maori which is the unofficial 4th test.
Juan Flores
Think we'll squeeze the life out of Ireland in a brutal but uneventful game Tbh. Nice send off for Gatland in his last 6N and puts us in a good position going into the world cup. Lots of guys to come back from injury too. Sort a few things out and we'll be decent >get Faletau back from injury >fix our line-out >sort the regional shit out >get Webb back from France

All the pressure is on them on Saturday, for us its just a WC warm up game, we'll see what happens
Jack Campbell
You might have a point if Wales hadn't won 13 games in a row but they have so I think there's a bit more to it than luck/the opposition handing us the win.
I actually think Wales were ok against France. It was away from home and the conditions were atrocious, first half was dire because they just didn't adapt fast enough. Second half was basically flawless though.
Wales winning streak had been really weird because none of the wins have been real hammerings (apart from Tonga). They've basically all been close but Wales haven't really looked like losing any of them. They just seem to up the intensity for 10 minutes per game, get their noses in front, and then drop the tempo to see the game out.
Christian Nelson

Isaiah Wilson
If Wales can win the GS and win all their pool games this RWC they can equal the T1 record for consecutive wins. If they win their QF as well or have any warm up test matches they can even surpass it. Can't wait for Gatland to go out with a bang.
Mason Phillips
They've been at 4 wins under Gatland twice before, and won their last match both times. Their mental strength is really something. Nowhere near the level of NZ but still.
Noah Wright
Might grow a moustache for WC. Thinking the Whetton.
If they top their pool they're likely to face England in the QF again
Hunter Peterson
The entire Pool C is beatable for Wales. And I think as inconsistent as Englel are they should still be too much for Argentina and France.
Jace Ross
means fuck all because they didn't play new zealand in the autumn like the proper countries did, it's the equivalent to boxers statpadding at the start of their career
Landon Ramirez
So like every other record winning run ever?
Ethan Young
yes
Levi Scott
Tell the record books to add "longest winning run to include a victory over NZ" then.
Josiah King
I haven't seen any evidence to suggest this game will go anyway different than all the other games in Cardiff. We still play the exact same way as all those other times and the Welsh lads will eat that shite up all day. Along with our poor enough form Wales would have to disintegrate and we'd have to somehow click to have a chance.
It'll go like the Wales - England game I reckon with Ireland not as dominant as England and the game being very close for most of it and Wales to pull away in the last 15 minutes. Oh and Ireland will go out in the RWC QF again.
Are you in competition with the self hating French user to see who is the biggest faggot traitor?
Liam Jenkins
A team that forcefully had to include Argentinians+chilean and uruguayans will be unironically weaker than just the pumas. USA+Canada would be fun to watch against top T2 teams like fiji, samoa and italy
Jordan Wright
Rude, Italy is T1. Change to Georgia.
Leo Diaz
Argentinian league has actually a really good quality of rugby, the thing is that stadiums are shite cause the leagues is still """"amateur"""" *cough cough*
A second team would be great! But the problems is that Jaguares and Pumas are practically the same entity, including another team would force to break the system we have going. >{Argie league>Jaguares[≥europe]>Pumas} Either the second team enters the cycle between the Argie league and Jaguares relegating them to an eternal second spot, OR if it enters in the same level of Jaguares, either Jaguares loses terrain and revenue, relegating them from a top of the table team again to a bottom tier team, or the other team has to start with a huge investment, and the UAR does not have the money for it yet.
Asher Collins
Can't use any divegrass stadium?
Colton Nguyen
If the other team is based in Tucuman or Rosario so it could bring even more income? Because of different fans bases and rivalry? Plus of you could bring back Isa, Imhoff, Cordero, Fernandez, Muller, Matera, Sanchez so I really doubt it would be the weaker team...
Adrian White
A South American pro league, LAR (Liga Americana de Rugby), is planned for 2020 with eight franchises, two from Argentina. There are speculations on cities like Córdoba and Tucumán hosting the argie franchises.
Xavier Edwards
Again that could be the last option I said, to bring back those names and give said second team nice training grounds, decent staff, etc etc, UAR would have to put a lot of money, one that they don't have yet. Rugby is the forth/fifth sport here, so there is still not a HUGE revenue. I would love an "interior" team, here, BsAs vs The inner provinces has always been an entertaining debate
Brandon Young
Have faith lad. We stepped up like fuck against England but I always wondered if we'd be able to do it for both big games (Eng/Ire) or only have that one big performance in us. I think home advantage will be the difference but it'll be close.
