Sound like some sort of activist. She's entitled to her view but it's not the mainstream view in Australia. I would note that the NZ Warriors RL team play an annual ANZAC Day match against the Melbourne Storm...

In Australia sport in the afternoon of ANZAC Day is a longstanding tradition going back to when the ANZAC generation were still alive and in positions of power in government and in various sports. If NZ see it differently that's fine.

You only have to look at the success of the AFL and NRL games played

Not in Australia as far as I know. I don't know if it's the case or not in NZ

You'd like to think that NZRU and RA would be united on this.

The last proposal I saw had 6N and SANZAR tests in April, with NH v SH games played in October/November. NH club season would start in December. Presumably whatever form domestic pro rugby takes in SA, NZ and Aus would take place from May to September...

Mad dogs and Englishmen.

I'm not quite so sure that they're done: 2018 Ireland made a 3 test tour of Australia 2016 England made a 3 test tour of Australia 2014 France made a 3 test tour of Australia 2013 BIL 3 test tour of Australia 2012 Wales made a 3 test tour of Australia ***2019 and 2015 no inbound NH tours...

Take our the current Super Rugby format and SANZAAR/SANZAR is completely redundant. Even with Super Rugby its a fairly useless and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy. I'm hoping that TRC in its current form goes the way of Super Rugby into the dustbin and replaced by 3 test tours between SA, NZ and Aus on a rotational...

Not quite. Older brother was at Brookvale but not this kid. Family then moved to Canberra

Maybe that don't think it's such a great commercial strategy to televise Super Rugby? It would be odd if they did something against their own commercial interests? Time will tell.

Maybe nobody else thinks it's worth the effort to televise it. Just because you like watching rugby on TV doesn't mean that the rest of the population does. Bit of a 1st world problem really. Things have to be 'commercial' for a private company to undertake it whether it's TV or anything...

Presumably they've factored that into any decision.

What's incorrect about it? I've observed that many here blame News Corp journos for trying to bring down RA. I've observed many of the same people quite clearly saying that they don't want Foxtel involved in broadcasting rugby. So why would these people now expect Fox to want to telecast a...

I don't see how, it's a completely different competition. NZRU have spent their time setting it up and negotiating with Sky, and I would assume that Sky have paid top dollar for the rights. They wouldn't be giving these rights away cheaply and one assumes from that that Foxtel doesn't see...

The same people who have been describing Foxtel/News Corp as enemies of Australian rugby and hoping that Foxtel don't televise rugby in Australia are now complaining that Fox aren't televising an NZ competition?

I think that this is pretty much guaranteed.

Or possibly Super Rugby in any form isn't as popular in Australia as G&GR posters think it is.
