No AFL on FTA from Rounds 1-8 on Saturday nights until 2032. Clearly Nine are going to do everything they can to get NRL rights for Saturday nights and don't want to be committed to SRP (Super Rugby Pacific), thus making that harder

They;re already influencing significantly with forced rest periods for players? What else can they do?

I actually think Marshall has been fair and decent in comms, didn't expect it

Schmidt has been very conservative on this in the past - e.g. Reds vs. Wales - so I would expect similar

i still miss him dearly so the idea of starting Josh Kemeny over Sean McMahon - even after two years off rugby injured - hurt my feelings!

Double? Be realistic

The same one?

Love them.

Shame we aren't up against Scotland again. Feel like that's good the bones of a good little rivalry

Hi Atko!

I don't know who Maggie Cogger-Orr is, but she should have been $1.01 against those two haha! Geez... talk about slim pickings.

He barely got a game despite impressing whenever he did get a chance, constantly beating his first man. Great attitude, positive and humble. Then went to Japan to find confidence before earning a chance in Glasgow. "He wanted a pay rise but at the time it didn’t make sense to give him a...
