Pretty much, it'll all be commercial arrangements put in place that would make things difficult to shift around from your core cities/stadiums.

Fun game to be at as a "neutral". Not he highest quality game but swings of momentum and amounts of luck both ways made for a contest. Not sure it bodes well for either side over the next 12 months, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Quality Defence from USA + Horrible Conditions = a more competitive scoreline. I think Townsend has probably gotten it sub optimal with the selections, particularly with how tired a number of the Glasgow boys looked. He'd have been much better off putting this lineup against Chile and Uruguay...

got free tickets. probably wouldn't go otherwise.

probably not no. But depending on your stage of life, being paid $85kpa for 3 Semesters of full time Uni doesn't sound too bad.

That is the other factor involved I would guess. None of them are contracted after 2025, so various commitments around cash and/or length of contract are probably desired by all groups to ensure that's it's worthwhile to move to Sydney.

back in 15/16 Glasgow had to rearrange or relocate 4 Pro 12 fixtures due to issues with Drainage at Scotstoun (prior to the installation of the new artificial turf). Obviously the way the league is set up allows for that given the number of "off weeks" etc. Not quite the case in a short form...

I honestly think we weren't too far from a few hundred thousand getting paid to play Dewar Shield, you should count your blessings if it was all in the Hospital Cup.

It's a complicated issue that I expect will evolve as we start making our way through to mid-late September and (a) Club seasons start wrapping up (b) European teams start finalising their rosters for the upcoming season, (c) we work our way through the Rugby Championship where Schmidt will show...

Copying my post from the other thread:

For all the schadenfreude, I think it's a bit of a beat up. It would frustrate RA that LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Leota & Tupou (probably Pone too as a consequential effect) wouldn't want to be coming across, but the rest of the contracted group consists of: Ethan Dobbins Matt Gibbon IAK Angelo Smith Vaiolini Ekuasi...

Depending on your wages, being paid to turn out for whoever you want at club level while you maybe grind out a year at Uni/TAFE or as an apprentice sounds pretty cool tbh.

Head to Head is first tiebreaker

both tournaments are a win every game or get fucked situation.

Someone else should probably bid to host it

If all the games at Athlone are cancelled I think Wales goes through 4th

28-28 draws woooooooooooooooooooooo

28-28 draws all round

there's not enough home games for selling one to be reasonable lmao

In the unlikely event an ACT/Murrumbidgee/Southern NSW Twiggy emerges I imagine.
