It doesn't seem very relevant twenty years on...

Anyways, this probably has another week in the media cycle before it's dragged back up in 2027... https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8879804/act-chief-minister-andrew-barrs-2-million-rugby-world-cup-bid/?cs=14329

It was certainly the reverse there for a long time... Probably from around the Brumbies' inception until roughly under twenty years ago the Brumbies had the dominant crowds with the Raiders barely attracting anyone, aside from a couple of times they made the finals. I'm sure we can write an...

It's not breaking news journalism to blatantly rip off another journalist's work, like an entire article, a day later... that's called plagiarism, and it's not standard practice. When there is legitimate breaking news, news sites will take the initial reports from news agencies such as AAP and...

That applies to all Australian Super Rugby teams... but this isn't Super Rugby - it's the World Cup.

Brett Robinson certainly disagrees with him... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/waugh-backs-sydney-final-return-as-world-rugby-explains-canberra-omission-2025130

https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8879444/andrew-barr-fires-back-at-critics-after-canberra-missed-world-cup/?cs=14329 TLDR version - ACT Govt had offered roughly a $2.5M package per game which is what they thought was reasonable to not make a loss, but WR (World Rugby) wanted more.

The MCG will host two of the round of 16 matches... Brisbane and Sydney quarters... Sydney semi and final. And... World Rugby press release... https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/981084/australia-preparing-for-a-nationwide-festival-of-rugby-as-seven-host-cities-confirmed

Nah, it’s plagiarism when your entire article is copied almost verbatim without any attribution. It’s the kind of thing that gets you stung on Media Watch…

Iain Payten last night... Christy Doran an hour ago... In fact, his entire article is a sad piece of plagiarism.

WARATAHS (1-15): Angus Bell, Dave Porecki, Daniel Botha, Ben Grant, Miles Amatosero, Rob Leota, Charlie Gamble, Langi Gleeson, Jake Gordon (c), Tane Edmed, Max Jorgensen, Joey Walton, Lalakai Foketi, Andrew Kellaway, Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i REPLACEMENTS: Julian Heaven, Issac Kailea, Felix Kalapu...

Canberra is in dire need of a modern, moderately sized stadium to replace the outdated ice box out at Bruce. There's a W-League team, and Canberra is supposed to enter the A-League next season. The ACT Govt already pay a mint for GWS to play a bunch of games at Manuka Oval, which also now...

Yeah, I don't see the problem... As Adam and BH mentioned above, the Australian teams played the Lions without their test players on the last tour as well because of Wallabies duties.

They're probably due for another feasibility study... and then determine, again, that they're just going to rebuild at Bruce. By which time they actually do it it's going to cost them a fuckload more than if they had gone ahead and built something years ago.

From Payto in the SMH… That final paragraph is not accurate though as the ACT did bid for games, but if they are missing out is likely due to them not coming into an agreement on the cost.

The Oz article still says that Sydney will host the final, but the MCG is back in contention for hosting games...

AAA re-appointed as captain... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/act-brumbies-reappoint-Ala'alatoa-as-captain-as-club-sets-sight-on-title-2025123

That try also came off a comical tackling effort, with Jorgensen going right through the middle of AAA and Valetini... it was hard to watch.
