In premiership rugby in the Autumn Internationals, it looks like it could be the end of non-English players because of a disagreement over insurance.

In next year’s Rugby World Cup, it could affect some players participation.

Once the insurance of injury has been secured, players that are released from their clubs to play internationally will only do so. If a player is injured overseas, the international side should pay for loss of earnings and medical costs footing the entire bill and not the club, from which they came, the argument in fuelled by this fact.

The players that are away on International duty with any union to a degree that they are fully covered in the event of any major injury; the IRB is aiming to protect them. Without adequate insurance in place, with some major matches coming up time is running out as clubs are under no obligation to release their players for training.

When nine years ago Samoa had to use a reserve squad because the majority of players didn’t have enough insurance in place to cover them in the event of injury, insurance problems have disrupted international matches before. Because England is self-insure, there are still a lot of problems to be ironed out with other clubs, it is not affected. To ensure that players will receive the proper insurance coverage to play international matches and hopefully the problem will be resolved soon, the IRB is working hard.

The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks will take on the Texas A&M Aggies. These two teams will play in the season opener. The game will take place this coming Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled to take place at 7 pm Eastern Time. The game will be played at Kyle Field.

This opening game will be exciting for the state of Texas. Both of these teams are from Texas. These two teams are hard to compare as they have come from very different situations in the past year.

The Lumberjacks are coming off of a stellar season. They managed a record of 10-3 on the season and were a force to be reckoned with in their conference. The problem is that they did not take on top level competition during the season. In all 13 of their games they never were required to take on a team in the top 25. They will enter this season with something to prove. This game may be their best option at showing the world that they are a solid team.

The Aggies managed a record of 6-7 last season. They have a solid offense. Their offense can throw, run and score. The defensive end of the ball is the real problem. Although they managed to score 32.8 points per game, they did not win as many as they would have liked to. Defensively they surrendered 33.5 points per game. This will be tough to overcome in 2010.
