Are you sure - it's very small. I went to the 7's at the Melbourne games, Marvel Stadium which was very full

From what I can see he was born in Fiji - I don't think he would be eligible (unless he has a parent or grandparent born in Australia)

I think he did OK for the Wallabies last year

And Spain have managed to do it again :eek: https://www.planetrugby.com/rugby-world-cup-spain-axed-from-2023-tournament-for-fielding-ineligible-payer/

Pretty sure the Chairman of the JRFU said last year they were keen on a post season comp of some type involving NZ & Australia

Will it really - if players can prove themselves in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) then get a big contract overseas surely there would be encouragement to play rugby. All we need to do is select the best players for the Wallabies.

Yep it is

Why does the TMO think he has to get so involved

Pretty sure it's usually hosted in two cities. Last time it ran in Argentina the matches were all at Rosario and Santa Fe, before that 3 in the south of France and the before that two cities in Georgia. We could quite easily host at Sydney & Newcastle for example.

Nobody would have complained if the English player was red carded, how he found a penalty against France was unbelievable. The inconsistency is so frustrating

Did you go Paul?

Loved to see the Leeton Phantoms there also - Merts not the first Crusader to wear it with Marika Vunibaka playing a coaching there for a few seasons.

I tend to agree but also know that the Sydney (not sure on the situation in Brisbane) will actively attempt to wreck a competition so best to try to work with them and hopefully they will be able to give a bit of ground as well.

Unfortunately at the SCG this week so might lose a few again

I'm much more entertained when we win :D

Rugby Europe did it over the weekend I believe. https://www.rugbyeurope.eu/news/rugby-europe-statement-1/

If (big if) Romania knock off Georgia in Bucharest in the next round Spain will have to win in Tbilisi to be certain of qualifying as Romania have the Dutch in the last round. Very exciting times. Expansion is interesting, Belgium, and Germany have also been good at this level recently.

It's been a cracking tournament, still any of the top four can make it with direct qualification with only two matches to play.

They have listened to me :cool:

No they did both - max of 3 players and they have to meet the minimum threshold of 5 years or 30 caps, so Frost can't be picked next year.
