Looks like Italy could be hosting the 2025 WR (World Rugby) Under 20 tournament. Link (in Italian)

Wow Outstanding by the Force!!!!

Riveted to the screen :D

Yet another win on the bell this round! How good! :eek: :p :cool:

Reimer outstanding work to give the Brumbies some momentum. Bench did a good job for them to bring it home too.

Not having a happy game.

To be fair, I'd prefer being seated next to the brat on a booster than crammed in beside a 20 stone behemoth. So long as all sounds are screened out with noise-cancelling headphones ... Obviously, a personal cabin -- or even just an empty adjoining seat -- would be better. :p

Dunno. How does the value stack up against the air fares?

New Zealand will get a go some point, most likely taking Australia's spot. With only 7 events (including GF) in a season -- even with Brett Robbo in charge of World Rugby ;) -- Sydney doesn't justify a permanent fixture.

Instead of a month or two later, it would be better a month or two earlier -- i.e. swap with Dubai. Temperature-wise, late Nov/early Dec is better in most parts of Oz. Incidentally, Late Jan is also cooler in Dubai, which after all is (marginally) in the NH. The thing with the sevens tour now...

This is starting to give off some failing vibes. The logo? Meh, it's not outstanding but ultimately that won't matter when it comes down to rugby. No RWC presence in VIC, though, is bad for the game.

3 Valetini 2 McReight 1 Wilson HM: plenty of players but I'll mention Kailea because he's unlikely to get a mention. MoM could easily be McReight (he wont be short of mentions).
