"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
And Helen from the Force office has confirmed.
Also confirmed NRC planning is going ahead, but no information can be released until RA green-lights it. So that'll be a week or so before the season starts, then!
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
From my understanding, the only aspects requiring the "green light" from RA are game times in Australia and the approval for another Aussie team (if one is required), as all other 'approvals' are in place.
APOLOGIES CHAPS - read this as GRR rather than NRC.
No other team in NRC - to my knowledge.
The hold-up in announcing the NRC, I understand, is trfying to lock in game time with all else that is happening especially the build-up to the RWC in Japan.

Another Australian NRC team would show an unexpected degree of commitment from RA...?!
Perhaps shouldn't have killed the one they had if that was the case...

This game is 4 sleeps away and there is almost nothing to be found about this "Malaysia Valke" team.
No recent mention in Malaysia. No recent mention in South Africa. Farkall locally as well.
Just slightly overshadowed by some big fellas wearing all black that hit town on the weekend.
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
The Oakland Raiders are in town?
Don't agree it's overshadowed. More like non-existent. I'm not talking about the Western Force (we know that entity exists). That's not the case for Malaysia Valke.
- Have the players arrived in Perth from South Africa? ... No one knows.
- Does Malaysia even get a token waterboy? ... No one knows.
Nothing out there. Nada, nil, nuthin'.
