Agree with the sentiment, but wasn't the SRU aligned with the ARU and not the NSWRU until relatively recently?

NZ v Tonga was a combined 380k on FTA - these are really good numbers for a multi-channel. Pipped for top spot by the Socceroos qualifier 9Gem with 433k Aus v Lebanon was a combined 847k on FTA

No ratings info for the Wales game (not surprising given the kick off time) NRC GF didn't crack the top 20, so less than 34k. Anyone seen an NRC crowd estimate anywhere? Wikipedia has 7,000 for the crowd, but without a source (was free entry) Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Gate was open (IE free) so doubt we'll get anything other than an estimate Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

How does the TJ/AR know when the Ref thinks the ball is out of the ruck?

Yep, 16.4a - Players must not return the ball into a ruck Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

The guys doing France v All Blacks (whoever they were) were unbareable and were on mute as quick as any of the guys in any sport in Australia - so they are not getting it all right on BeIn Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Penalty cont was 13-3 in favour of Wales Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Contracted until the end of next year Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

TPN only had a one year contract Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

All out Rugby stats has George took 15 turnovers (4th) for 7 ruck penalties (2nd) Michael Hooper 17 (2nd) for just 1 penalty. They'll have to decide if it's worth it (Having said that, my main criticism is mainly the stupid non-ruck penalties he gave away all year) Sent from my D5833 using...

Doeant explain how they pay them, but marquee foreign players, and some of the costs for Wallabies returning from overseas (IE Genia) and recruiting players from another code don't fall under the salary cap. There's also an additional allowance for third party payments on top of the base...

George Smith - most penalised player on the most penalised team in the comp and Kane Douglas, who was leading the comp until he got benched are where Thorn should really be focussing his attention. Some of the penalties those two gave away were just unforgiveable for senior members of the team...

There are some astronomical sums being spent on the China Super League (soccer). The world's highest paid player, Tavez, now plays for Shanghai on $40m a year. Some of the numbers that Jack Ma threw around for investment in Chinese rugby (was it 100m over 10 years?) are getting dwarfed by their...

Ex-queensland Reds half back, Nick Berry is making his Tier 1 test debut this weekend at Murrayfield for Scotland v Samoa. Great effort that man! Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

I reckon we really need to re-calibrate what a successful competition looks like Aviva Premiership and Top 14 average around 13,000 a game. Japan's Top League averages 5 to 6,000 The NRL averages about 15,000. The are only starting with 5 home games a year which is really going to limit the...

Haven't seen any footage of the game other than Semi kicking Ricky where it hurts https://v.redd.it/71hqcp6hfdwz Sent from my D5833 using Tapatalk

Bookies have Australia as only a slight favourite which is a little strange given the 12 match streak and the 11 games the Wallabies have played together since Wales last had a full strength team on the park in the six nations. 14 hours travel and 9 timezones the great leveller? Sent from my...

If the comp stays March to June it will work a lot better after 2020 when the June window shifts to July. They might have to run their finals with no internationals in the first year. The standard of the other teams the Force will be playing remains the greatest hurdle. Will be a bit of a coup...
