Definitely... It would probably go down somewhat easier if the blame could be laid on RA and we could target our anger towards them.

Extended statement here... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/melbourne-rebels-super-rugby-pacific-rugby-australia-2024529 An excerpt...

Can you please show me the document?

Anyways, awful news... the game in this country is no better off with fewer teams. I had the false hope maybe RA could find a third way to keep the team going that didn't involve this consortium. And I can empathise with the Rebels' fans... if the Brumbies were ever axed, I would no longer...

Again, talk of $30M involving the people that ran the club into the ground...

Obviously Vic Govt would prefer to have the Rebels around, but if they were gone it's not going to stop them bidding for major rugby sporting events such as the RWC final...

Yes, they exist in the hearts and minds of fine, noble rugby folk all over the world… Geographically, they can only exist within the governance of the ACT and co. Bless.

Thanks for tuning in at the last round...

Spanian? Fuck me... I can't wait for his next instalment of... "Into the Hoods: East Melbourne." or "Sydney's Most NOTORIOUS suburbs: Newtown."

That's understandable. Australia is filled with amazing country bakeries, but obviously they tend to be located in small regional towns whereas New Zealand has yet to be urbanised...

Saturday 1 June 7:35 PM AEST – Western Force v ACT Brumbies at HBF Park, Perth, ad-free, live and on demand on Stan Sport and Nine Network FORCE (1-15): Ryan Coxon, Tom Horton, Santiago Medrano, Sam Carter, Izack Rodda, Jeremy Williams (c), Carlo Tizzano, Reed Prinsep, Nic White, Max Burey...

Yeah, there's quite a few 6/8's and lock/backrowers Schmidt is probably going to have to cycle through working out his best squad... Wright is an excellent option to cover the position, and Hooper can play there in an emergency as well.

Not being rested… calf injury. Hopefully will be back for the finals.

No Slipper, but Schoupp will return for the Brumbies...

It's funny, because I think Tupou got away with a similar cleanout on Jahrome Brown a couple of years ago... initially suspended but the Reds appealed and won.

In the past if you weren't contracted in the original squad you had to play a minimum of four regular season matches to play in the finals... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/blues-bold-ploy-to-bring-back-barrett-denied-by-super-rugby-2024527

I think if they want to continue with a top 8 they need to go with the AFL/NRL model... Qualifying final: 1 v 4 2 v 3 Elimination final: 5 v 8 6 v 7 Winners of qualifying final get a week off and host a prelim. Losers of the QF get a second chance, hosting the winners of the EF in a semi...

Round 14: 1. Hodgman 2. Faessler 3. AAA 4. Uru 5. Hooper 6. Frost 7. McReight 8. Valetini 9. McDermott 10. Lolesio 11. Pietsch 12. Paisami 13. Daugunu 14. Ryan 15. Wright

I wonder if the Wallabies need another 7 in the squad with Wright* possibly being the best backup to that position, and Hooper** can cover it in an emergency too… * not Tom ** Tom
