Yeah it’s all fucked. I have far less issue with the five year residency rule - hey at least those players have put in the hard slog to earn that right - although my tune may change shortly when young talents like Harry Hockings and Isaac Lucas soon turn out for god damn Japan. But the cherry...

Watching the Scotland vs Fiji match and geez it’s a punishing listen. Tuipulotu chatting to the ref in that broad Australian accent, commentators talking about how great it is Tuipulotu gets to captain his country (he referred to Australia as ‘home’ in an interview last week FFS), it’s all a bit...

Scratch this. The old man didn’t read his emails correctly - we have tickets for the Brisbane test. Yahoo! edit: would still probably take two tickets for Sydney though if they happen to pop up.

Actually can I put it out there please: if any forumers has, or knows of someone with, either: 2 or 3 spare tickets to the Brisbane test or 2 spare tickets to the Sydney test Can you kindly shoot me a message? I’d love to snap them up if possible! Having rotten luck buying some direct so far.

Everyone it seems won bloody ballot tickets except me. Ergh.

Obvious to the rest of the forum.

Notable inclusion of Will Nason at 23 too. I’d read he was injured hence missing most of the tournament, easing him back in via the bench. He’s quality and I think would normally be the starting 10.

Someone earlier posted that McReight will be captain, correct? So if Skelton starts, do we see Williams pushed to 6 and Valetini to 8?

Rhino, what’s your opinion of @Dismal Pillock?

This will all head to a settlement of some kind. With zero admission of guilt from either party. But free and easy cash for the Rebels directors, which is the exact outcome they want here anyway.

You're totally right. If RA had the best interests of Australian rugby at heart, they wouldn't defend themselves and countersue. They'd roll over, bankrupt the game, and pay a small fortune to those absolutely inept fucking dunces that make up the Rebels leadership team and help them dodge their...

I agree. And looking at his most recent Instagram post, he had a blast too. Which can only increase our chances of him wanting to return down the track. https://www.instagram.com/p/DA0VWBFTLTX/?igsh=bXhod29iNzIwamRr

The commentators were great weren’t they. Zero skin in the game on cheering for one team over another - just having a blast watching a fun rugby game. Also quite funny how in this and the previous Aus vs NZ Barbarians game Kingsley Uys has become a cult figure for them. Lots of fun.

Ergh.

Oh man that bolded quote haha. Such a knob.

Thought the 4 and 10 shone as well. To be fair the whole team did, great effort.

Reckon NZ lucky there’s no TMO too. That last high shot with about 3 mins to go on the Aus winger looked pretty bad in real time. Lined him up.

Half time, Aus 19 NZ 12. Really fun game to watch so far. Aus dominant so far but will be kicking themselves not going into the break with more points.

There’s a link on this page that will take you to the YouTube channel I think. 2pm tomorrow. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/australia-u18s-lock-in-side-to-face-new-zealand-schools-2024104

Ah gotcha. Thanks!
