Wallabies assistant coach Nathan Grey insists reducing the amount of local Super Rugby teams wont help the game in Australia.
Cheap NFL Jerseys Canada .Australia struggled to make an impact in the 2016 Super Rugby tournament, with only the local conference winning Brumbies making the playoffs and New Zealand teams snaffling all three Australasian wildcard spots.A mediocre 2016 Wallabies campaign which gleaned just six wins from 15 Tests has generated more debate about the state of the game in Australia.The Force and Reds won just two and three games respectively while the West Australian franchise has been taken over by the ARU and face an uncertain future.The Waratahs and Rebels finished ten and 19 points respectively behind the lowest Australasian wild card side.Despite rumblings in some sections of the rugby community that Australia doesnt have sufficient player depth to support five Super franchises, Grey is adamant the present number should be maintained.Super Rugby with the five franchises that Australia has exposes a lot more players to that next level, Grey said at Sydney Airport on Tuesday after returning from the Wallabies spring tour.The more you can expose those players to those step-ups in intensity and performance its only going to hold Australian rugby in good stead.You look at the makeup of a Wallaby squad - theres a good spread of players across all those franchises.If you only had the three (teams) theres going to be a number of guys who are not going to be exposed to that level - and its not going to help the game.Grey dismissed the suggestion that head coach Michael Cheika, who wont return from Europe until later in the week, got caught up in mind games with his England counterpart and former clubmate Eddie Jones.The reality of the matter is when you cross the line there s 23 players in your squad who go out and do the job, the coaches are a little bit insignificant from that perspective, Grey said.He lamented Australias inability to string together complete performances.We showed throughout the year that for long periods of time we can play some exceptional football, Grey said.But its got to be a complete 80-minute performance, and we werent able to string too many of those together this year which was really disappointing.Grey said it was very difficult to attribute the form fluctuations within a game to a single issue.The intensity of the cauldron, sometimes guys in terms of execution you pay for really small errors, he said.

I wish I were a recruit for this game, Carter said Monday. It was an amazing atmosphere. It just showed the path for the University of Georgia and the program, where Kirby wants to take us.The 13-7 win over Auburn gave Smart the signature game he needed from his otherwise lackluster debut season.

He was back in his restrained game-week mode on Monday.I certainly felt there was good energy in the building, good energy after the game, whether it be in the locker room or with those guys, Smart said, adding his time with recruits was certainly positive even though none immediately promised to sign with Georgia.Senior defensive back Maurice Smith, who returned an interception for Georgias only touchdown, said it was important for current and future players to see the Bulldogs show they can beat a top 10 team.I think it will be a great accommplishment and also a confidence-builder for the team and the coaching staff, just to let us know were still able to contend and compete with the best, Smith said.
