EDIT: Sorthern Northland's Puppet, could you add the Friendlies thread to the list of threads at the beginning of this thread, Thx

I suppose I would. Western Cuba is forming a rugby team in Trinidad that is still yet to be named. They'll be glad to have a few friendlies before the RLWC10. Is signups open for that yet by the way and does anyone plan on doing rugby sevens rankings.

Sorry about my long break from NS Sports. So, what's happened?

Western Cuba hosted the sevens world cup and Darmen hosted the union world cup.

A new sports region *cough*which you could join*cough* was formed, Esportiva, we had our first domestic rugby season.

The RLWC10 signups are coming soon

Would anyone be interested in some Union friendlies with me or my puppet New Sydney? I would like to throw them into scorination with my domestic league as a sort of winter internationals break. Will scorinate tomorrow and no rp required

My national team will to have a friendly against you or your puppet.

However though is anyone going to do the rugby sevens rankings?

We'll bite.

TBI did the rankings last time, perhaps you should ask him.

Ok. TKC V Darmen @ the National Rugby Stadium, Watson's Bay

New Sydney V Western Cuba @ George Mortlock Stadium, New Sydney.

Results will appear in the scorination of my league tomorrow on the domestic rugby thread. Anyone else?

RLWC?

Sorry. Those friendlies may not be up until late. Had a family day out (boring)

I can do sevens rankings. Before I do that, a question: Should they include only R7WC !, or should they also include the tournament that fed into R7WC I and gave that tournament its rankings? A case can be made either way, and it obviously affects the numbers. My mild preference is to include both, simply because more data is usually better.

I would prefer that they used both tournaments, as the previous rankings were used during R7WC 1. It just doens't make sense to not use them this time around as well.

I would say both too, for the same reason. Why base R7WC 1 on those ranks and then discard them?

As someone who's kept away from the Sevens World Cup, I would suggest using them both. As Chetkosk says, why use them for a tournament and then discard them.

As for the League World Cup, I've not forgotten about it, just not gotten round to it yet. I'll get the signups started later today, promise.

...and here are the Rugby League World Cup signups.

Rugby Sevens world rankings are updated!

Do you have to be a member of the NSRB to submit a host-bid for the Rugby League World Cup?

I wouldn't think so, at least as long as you were an entrant in that cup, although only current members would vote.

Indeed. There's not actually any written restrictions on who can host, though I think in the past a sort of de facto requirement to have previously participated in a rugby tournament has been exercised. Perhaps it's worth putting something similar in writing in the NSRB governing document.

I'd use both, considering the original ranks were used for the first tournament.

EDIT: Never mind, I like being second.

Well considering I have been in the RWC i think three times before, would it be okay for me to bid without stirring up some kind of rucuss for not being in a RLWC before in your opinions?

For me as long as you've previously competed in one of the NSRB tournaments, I'd see it as okay to put in a bid for a tournament in another code.

With the completion of Rugby League World Cup 10 (and thank you, Aels, for seeing Mangolana's bid through to completion) it is time, according to the governing document, for the Executive Council to organise the election of the Section Vice-Presidents. Four tournaments have taken place since the governing document was established: RLWC 9, R7WC 1, RWC 18, and RLWC 10.

I'll edit this post over the next few minutes to compile a list of current NSRB members by section, then let others identify puppets and update accordingly.
