Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

The biggest thing holding back Rugby Union is the game itself.

Firstly, cut down the number of players. Fix the scrums to get rid of all the collapses. Get rid of the line outs and the over emphasis on penalty kicks. Introduce the six tackle rule and play the ball.
Seems to remind me of a game I've read about on social media ,discussed by intelligent discerning people /

League scrums are so lame,” McLennan told this column. “League talks about toughness but I reckon an arm wrestle at the pub would harder than their scrums. Let’s have a competition between the two best sides and see who’s tougher.

“We’ll do the best of three scrums with the league version and best of three with a rugby version and see who comes out on top.

Rugby Australia chairman Hamish McLennan says the NRL’s proposed international raids have little chance of coming off.

“Rugby Australia will put $100,000 in the kitty and the winner donates the prize money to charity and we’ll get Nine to televise it live.

“If it’s a draw we’ll have a spelling competition to determine the winner.”
Ah the spectacular sight of the scrum formation and the ensuing collapse.It's such work of art like the Eiffel Tower, the Opera House on Sydney Harbour ,the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Helen of Troy the face that launched a thousand ships and never forget the Taj Mahal.
With due respect to the Hamishes of this world , this guy has the charisma and marketing gift of a garden gnome.

It means if the ball is "alive" whilst they're attempting to pack a scrum that will hit the ground a split second later, that the game is "alive". The fact they have to tell you that the ball is "alive" speaks volumes about the game you've mistakenly tuned into.
It means because the ball rarely moves around it is in fact in a comatose state . WTF it is moving, it's alive bro .

While the rest of the sporting world is trying to eradicate head and neck injuries Hamish Mcartney/Lennon is promoting it as tuff.

Yeh his comments won’t help with the class action the rfu is facing rn and doesn’t have the money to cover if it’s a bad judgement

Looks like Danny Wielder has a new BFF, is this 4 weeks in a row he's had an 'exclusive' with McLame ?

Surely VLandys isn't stupid enough to bit back and give this looser and his dying code any more headlines.

But to be fair, he's correct that Rugby players would beat leaguies in a spelling bee

f**k this dude may be a bigger wanker than Fritzlsimmons. Little rich boy playing the troll in hopes of a response so the evolutionary dead end game appears relevant. It would be pretty funny when the scrum comp out rated the entire super rugby season though.

That little jibe about the spelling test is a good example why the toff game will never win the hearts of the people.
