Goodbye Super Rugby, Hello PRO14

[Biffer]

And equal by definition means of the same degree. it doesn't have to mean exactly equal. Exactly equal means exactly equal.

I appreciate you're a colonist so don't fully grasp the mother tongue, so I'll make allowances for that and forgive you your error.

So using your rationale, Scotland has been equally as successful as England at RWC tournaments?

Scotland has never really had any success at the RWC so no.

Do you think Australia has been anything other than a failure in Super Rugby?

Considering that the new Pro14 season starts this weekend, how do they intend to plug in the additional South African sides? A revised schedule that incorporates them from January? They've started with 12 teams but may end with 16.

I haven't looked at the fixtures, but I would imagine there aren't going to be that many rounds of the Pro14, between internationals and Europe, for the SA sides to make up. Once you factor in next years 6N and post Christmas Euro ties, that will give plenty of weekends for the SA sides to make up their fixtures. Obviously they will have to be all the derby games, but I'm sure its do-able.

SA teams will join from March

The fact that NZ did not win RWC2019 has hurt them, hurt them bad.

Not as much as it hurt England in the final.

I was kinda glad we didn't "three peat" it would have been disasterous for the international game.

Three-peats are fantastic. You are a Hurricanes fan though aren’t you so won’t understand.

Crusaders fans are the biggest douches in rugby

Thankfully I don't live vicariously through a rugby team like some country bumpkin hicks

And yet we have this from such a non-vicarious man:

I really feel for the likes of Lions, Stormers and Sharks fans who have all felt a sense of bitterness losing their respective finals, and missing out on logging in some sense of historic glory that is only reserved for NZ Super teams.

Apols for thread jack, but I would like to know what is the deal with the PR Forum - it doesn't look like it is shutting down, so why was there a call for a new forum? To be clear, I don't mind the new one, nor did I mind the old one, I just want to know where most of the Pro14/16 posters still post so that I can get the sweetest of sweet banter.

Jake gave one of his apocalyptic warnings that it would be, so this was set up as a lifeboat. There was a period over several weeks where PR did actually stop working at various points making it look like Jake hadn't just been yanking chains for once, so there was impetus to stay here over a protracted period.

Some of us have stuck around as we prefer the vibe* as well as some of the appearance and feature differences.


* this thread isn't a great example, but the English rugby one has been pretty decent so far. The big test will be during the international windows, English match threads on the old board got pretty unbearable, to the extent that plenty of English posters stopped bothering with them.

Cheers. This thread is a classic AC trolling saffas thread - nothing to see really.

Most of the Scots are here, most of the Welsh over there.

I presume you were not talking about the Irish

So by default this board is far superior and less in bred.

Thanks, and .
