    @Higgins Is Tuitavuki not injured? I assumed he must be considering Sapsford's appearances on the wing.

    Also, do you know what the words and initials mean? I assume area from Tonga they're from?

      @Nepia The initials relate to the island the boys' village/s is/are in. TT stands for the main island of Tongatapu, Eu for Eua, VV for Vava'U, HP for Ha'apai but not sure what NTT represents but suspect that it refers to Niautoputapu. Maybe @NZZP might be able to provide a bit more clarity here?

          A VPN and signing up to a free month trial of Amazon Prime sounds like a pretty viable option.

              that's not Eddie's fault though, Seibold is off to be Manly's head coach.

                Yeah, but maybe he's glad to be out. The coaches have all gone off to do something else, all 485 of them, doesn't mean Eddie is not a great push factor

                                @MiketheSnow Certainly WRU, who are struggling with finances a bit aren't they? Not sure about RFU who I always thought had a few $s, but that just guesswork.
                                Be interested to see if Gatland packing up any gear in preparation for move back that way.

                                  @Dan54 Both unions have come in for criticism for not managing the pennies well during Covid.

                                  I think Wales will offer the job to Gatland and/or Howley.

                                  Given the England review panel has on it Phil De Glanville, Ian McGeehan and Jonathan Webb (all connected to Bath Rugby which Bothwick came through), it looks like Steve Bothwick has the inside running to be England coach in 2023.

                                    I think the England Review panel is anon, where did you get those names? In addition, RFU is pretty much broke, they pissed away all their RWC money on all weather community pitches (nice but OTT), a massive bureaucracy, and all sorts of superfluous stuff for the Men's team. Then CV hit and they are not well off at all. So they'd have to pay Eddie out a full year, AND buy Borthwick out of Leicester - they're not keen to lose him. So I think money will be a real issue

                                          From Wales Online -

                                          Wayne Pivac has been relieved of his Wales head coach duties and Warren Gatland is making a sensational long-term return to Welsh rugby.

                                          A Welsh Rugby Union review into a dismal Test campaign has been carried out after Wales won just three out of 12 Tests this calendar year, with the WRU hierarchy deciding a changing of the guard was necessary nine months out from a Rugby World Cup.

                                          In November alone, Pivac's Wales were hammered by New Zealand and threw away leads to implode in the closing quarter against both Australia and Georgia.

                                          Gatland's return to Wales ends any speculation of him taking over from Eddie Jones at England, who have been holding their own review after a similarly dismal autumn.

                                          WalesOnline understands Gatland has signed an initial two-year deal and could even stay longer in a director of rugby role.
