So after Tahs win in Dunedin, we're now looking at playing the Crusaders in Christchurch on consecutive weekends. Ouch.

BeinSports have rights to the Autumn Tests as well so the games will be on Kayo/Foxtel.

No, it's 4 in SuperAu and 2 in the Trans-Tasman because Rd 3 of that is the Super Round, not a home game.

Does anyone know why a full season (6 match) Red Zone membership is $210 but you can get a 3 game membership for $90? And 2 x 3 = 6 but 2 x $90 isn't $210. Most of the other prices just double except for Red Zone Adult and Concession Gold. It's like someone didn't update a cell in their...

This year's gear has popped up on the Asics website now. Colour scheme suggests that Dave Rennie might be a big fan of those beige brigade retro Kiwi cricket kits. https://www.asics.com/au/en-au/wallabies-gear/c/wallabies-gear

Since Covid hit before there'd been any Broncos home games, they rolled everyone's memberships into 2021. So now you have to pay per game to go. So they're going to struggle for crowds for a while unless they start winning. So Reds may well get a bigger crowd this weekend as no need for...

Found this online (probably earlier than it was meant to be). Looks pretty schmick but not sure why Asics have persisted with the "stubby cock" collar design from last season. 2018 collar design was a lot more fan friendly. Home Jersey just looks like the RWC one without the RWC logo.

They were but 15,000+ cases of Covid-19 in Japan vs 18 in Fiji probably makes a Japanese team less likely to be allowed into Australia than a Fijian squad. And Samoa & Tonga haven't had any confirmed cases yet.

There is bugger all Covid-19 in Samoa/Fiji and also plenty of players with island heritage now stuck in Aus since the overseas comps are shut down (like Samu Kerevi and Ben Teo) so it would be great to somehow pull together a 6th "Pacific Allstars" team for our Aussie comp and get on with it...

Yeah, when I was thinking up a possible draw yesterday I had a "Wednesday round" in it to get the comp over really quick but thought it would impact performance too much making blokes back up on Saturday from a Wednesday match. And if you plan for it to be on weeknights only, what if crowds...

Yeah, not sure if we have the cash reserves to sit around not playing until Spring. Maybe RugbyAU are still hopeful Ireland can get out here but that Series might be better off being played in August now. Would be a handy time to bring Twiggy into the fold.

Thinking about a way forward in Oz in 2020, we can probably assume that the July Tests for the Wallabies are cactus. And since the NRL are aiming to be up and going again by mid-late May, why not aim or a similar timeline for Rugby? Obviously approvals from different levels of Govt would be...

Nah, Newstead are out of the picture now. https://newsteadbrewing.com.au/20-nineteen-in-review/ This bit: "For all the runs on the board for 2019, it was not without its challenges. We experienced first-hand the strong-arm tactics of the major breweries. For the last two years we were...

Exactly, in so much the rugby press it's always Sanzaar this, Sanzaar that... Well it's about time Dorothy pulled back the curtain and had a look. It's Andy Marinos and Lyndon Bray who are the guys running this reffing calamity. Not some mystery "all knowing, all powerful Sanzaar".

"Mr Marinos declines to be interviewed"....Really? Isn't he meant to be CEO? How much is he getting paid to not do his job?

It's a 6:15pm kick off local time. Only 7:15pm in places with Daylight Savings. If anyone here is still chasing tickets for the season, Reds have comp running until tomorrow on Instagram to what looks to be new XXXX sponsored section. Check out comp post here if you'll enjoy rugby and being...

If you get a chance (maybe next weekend) can you have a look at the Lions in insolation since 2014? I suspect that will throw up some interesting statistics.

We are 2nd last and playing in front of crowds of under 10,000 since we pretty much jettisoned whatever star power was left in the sqaud last year. So not sure there are too many others in town loving where his approach and decision making has led to.

It'll be interesting to see what the crowd figure ends up looking like. Doubtful there'd be a heap of Jags fans in Brisbane and the Lions are playing at the Gabba at exactly the same time.

The traditional style jerseys will probably be pretty popular with anyone who doesn't like that collar. They're very cleanly designed. https://www.asics.com/au/en-au/wallabies-replica-gear/c/wallabies-replica-gear
