Eliminate the Jags/Wolves and a dismal picture emerges

 Admit it Mozart - even your mother called you an unthinking twit.   And you carry that throughout your life.  

Come on guys...take things a lot lighter...you are both good okes but never see eye to eye...so what !

I agree with most of Mike's choices but Moz has his own choices although I disagree but he is an individual and is intelligent...if you disagree with your fellow man that's fine with me...I believe in freedom of choice...I have a distaste for group thought, men pleasers and sheep people. Sometimes you might be right but sometimes you can be wrong...who really cares...people are individuals and should be respected...we all are odd in some way or other.

Live in peace bro's...the odd couple...have humour...it's the spice of life.

If Mozart and Mike were in their early twenties and myself...that's really turning the clock back... it would be safe to say when we get as ancient as we now are the rugby spectrum will be a different picture...what was will change.

Because I'm certain that this game is so attractive not only in it's manly challenges...I'm certain that it will grow in leaps and bounds in large nations like Japan, USA, Russia and other nations because of exposure in the quick game of sevens being "Olympicfied"...rugby is not popular at present in countries like Germany, Spain and Portugal and Asia...soccer has it's stronghold there from tradition and because it's difficult to revolutionise tradition and culture as people are comfortable in what is conventional but Olympics will bring this game to the fore...rugby has and is being played everywhere albeit in a small scale...even countries like Malta have respectable teams...it's a fabulous team game. Yes the top 5 or 6 will continue to hold key positions...NZ and Oz (I predict Union will eventually supercede League and OZ rules) will continue to hold status because it's so deeply entrenched there...SA unfortunately will slip backwards thanks to our new apartheid reversal...England and France will hold some level as will both Ireland and Wales...I don't know about Scotland being so small but there again small countries with heart play good rugby...the Pacific Islands and Georgia are good examples.

Anyway this is just prophecy at the moment as Mike, Mozart, myself and many others here will be pushing up daisies then...we all cannot be coffin dodgers forever, hey Beeno

The introduction of the Jaguares and Sun Wolves is important and relevant in this evolvement and is just part of the catalyst in franchise/club globalisation...the Sevens game I believe will play even a bigger catalystic function.

 Honestly Chabal get a grip ...I intend to go up a chimney, pushing up daisies is for sissies.

OK ...it reminds of a true story of a friend who as a young advocate did social assistance to prisoners in the old SA and came across a rather rough prisoner on death row whom he was appointed to help "pro deo" and on his arm was tattoed quite clearly... "Ashes to ashes dust to dust, if God won't take me, the devil must"...not really funny but really sad.
