I've wondered about that - the head of NBC sports programming seems to be pretty committed, and pumps it up a fair bit (see e.g. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-31/sold-out-chicago-match-marks-rugby-s-rising-popularity.html). I guess that Olympics motive explains it.

Get. That. Outta here.

I had a google to see what NBC was saying (if anything) about the game. Came across this absolute gem: http://nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com/2014/05/13/usa-eagles-host-new-zealand-all-blacks-at-soldier-field-saturday-november-1-on-nbc/ The All Blacks are the reigning Rugby World Cup champions...

Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad. I might have a stroke, but I wouldn't be mad.

It's an official sell-out now. Good stuff. To our American friends, has there been much media about it?

Does anyone know what the GAGR corporate structure is? You'd hope that there is some sort of 'greenandgoldrugby pty limited' to cordon off liability from the admins.

I think a post got deleted earlier in the thread, bumping mine out of the sweet spot and his post into it. Damn - I'll concede that you probably deserved it pfitzy.

Yesssssssss!

1000?

Yeah he's done. What a shame.

I'm not much of a gambler, but I like to have a few dollars on teams I don't like in order to mitigate my annoyance if they win (no offence to Reds fans, I just still haven't forgiven you for 2011). Immediately after the Adam Thomson news broke yesterday I jumped on Sportsbet and got on the...

That's a great team - my main addition would be Creevy.

Good news. The plan for Australia has to be to stay afloat until the NRC starts producing better and more consistent Super Rugby and Wallabies results. This deal is a necessary step towards that future.

I'm just watching the Stars v Eagles game. Tala Gray having a great game, and if Ed Stubbs can up his skill level to match his physicality he'll be a real handful. He'll do things like barrel three people over then throw a garbage pass - exciting to watch but frustrating. McKibbin also looking...

In the cold light of day - particularly after reading the job description - this seems like a bit of a beat-up. Breaking news: An employee has a stoush with HR.

Re: Inman, I think if you're going to pick him, you'd want to have a fair bit of pace elsewhere in the backline. Your recent wingers are good players but aren't particularly rapid, and you run the risk of having a fairly pedestrian set of backs. That'll change when Speight gets established...

I hadn't seen that Whitelock was out. So Thrush in? We're in a funny spot where we have two really sensational locks and then a fair drop to a solid 3rd stringer (although injured Romano is good at what he's good at - whether you would describe that as "being a lock" rather than "being a general...

I'll chip in for this - really cool idea.

Ah right, I missed that, in a brief outburst of actual productivity.
