Asunto: National Team

Australia is effective!! Woowww congrats. Great moment now!

Nice work. I've been saying for a while we have good players coming through. Good to see it's finally flowing on nicely in to the NT

Great results....really good work from both NT managers & those training for the NT....although my young 'uns aren't much chop at the mo'....it's the main reason I've stayed on this time.

Yeah, I think if we can improve our NT's position, that may lead to opening up a 2nd champions cup spot again, allowing another side (so long as no one does the double) to participate and earn some more money.
Along with that, our sides should become more mature and hopefully we begin to increase our own net wealth (sponsorship, gate receipts etc) opening a few doors for us along the way. The big ones that we really need though are merged countries (keeping our national forum and our national cup/ rankings page) and the new training system, so we are less reliant on being online during stupid hours to have a chance of getting a player. If they make it such that a viable strategy can be to train your own team and they enhance how the junior system works (e.g more reliable estimates of talent etc) then I think that opens opportunities up.

That's really what keeps me around to try and see these changes through.

Very nice win against Denmark.

Thank you. Denmark is a very difficult opponent with a very good experienced coach, so the more enjoyable is the victory in good style.

I haven't written anything for a long time, so in the meantime, since the last update, we lost slightly with much stronger Hayastan (2:1) and New Zeland (3:2), and unexpectedly high (4:1) with Ireland.
I don't like to set friendly games with much lower ranking teams, especially with team like Ireland (they have much better team then ranking shows), but I know their coach and I couldn't refuse :)
I am always trying to play the U24 which is quite good and will be the strength of our national team in the future. This Saturday we are playing a rematch with New Zeland using first teams (game wasn't planned earlier), I will try to get a good result.
In he next week we had a match against Scotland planned but their manager resigned and we have a week off so we will look for someone suitable.

Australia - New Zealand 2:1

Nice, always good to get a win over those across the ditch

Yes, too often it’s the other way. Nice win.

As a rugby follower, you unfortunately get use to it...

Pace & Passing pop...

I've been wondering how this legend turned out. Wow

Nice player. Should be a fixture in the NAT team whenever in form!
(editado)

Great, thank you for create him. We need more defenders like that.

Collina was definitely one of the earlier ones, but those with similar or greater potential to check up on are the following list.

Jonathon Martinovic (24)
Harry Whitley (23)
Alex Arrarte (23)
Bob Jeans (22)
Sam Myburg (22)
Brodie Bailey (29)
Greg Selling(28)
Oscar Davis (22)
Bailey Georgio (24)
Bodie Stathakis (22)

I'm sure you have them all K@rol, but also good for others who train Defenders to see in case they either come up for sale or want to see what overpriced "offer" their owners want :D

As far as those not in the above list, that are nicely rounded but possibly not going to make it with def/pace.

Sam Worthy (28)
Dean Stephenson (25)
Rhys Dunn (28)
Lowan Boutsianis (28)
