Back home and on the laptop. Here's a design image of the new Christchurch stadium:

Lindommer, have you seen the plans for the new stadium in Christchurch? It's an indoor stadium with a transparent roof but a nicer design than Forsyth-Barr Stadium in Dunedin. I'm trying to link to an image but the iPad won't do it. Will post a pic later when I get on the laptop.

Ha, he's too busy virtue signalling. I think that the ACT Government should buy the plans for the Canterbury Arena being built in Christchurch and built one in Civic. The added bonus will be it will be earthquake-proof.

Spare us the pearl clutching, I've been to the SFS and Tahs fans are exactly the same. Added to that, the SFS is the only place where I have been verbally abused for wearing the opposing team's jersey. That said, I loathe booing the visiting team's goal kicker and I think it shows a total lack...

exISA, it looks like you've moved on from Kassel. I was back in Germany in Sept/Oct last year and had an interesting encounter with local rugby in Bavaria. I was in Landsberg am Lech, a small city of around 20,000 a 45 minute drive west of Munich, on the German Unity Day holiday and the town was...

It looks like the Kiwi magazine show 'The Breakdown' is available live on Stan Sport on Monday evenings from next week. Last week's episode is on the library but tonight's episode wasn't listed as live. Might be worth a look to see things from the Kiwi perspective.

More than that, I would estimate around 7k. It's a long weekend in Canberra and the match was moved at short notice so there was going to be fewer people than last week.

A lot of what you have said here I heard in discussions around me in the walk back to the car after the match. The vibe of the crowd was that the way that the Brumbies played was what they had been waiting to see all season.

It's media relations, they do that.

Just received an email from Brumbies media with this news: David Pocock is staying with the Brumbies David Pocock has today announced that he has recommitted to the Aquis Brumbies and Australian Rugby until at least the next World Cup.

So you coached Evergreens then?

You beat me to it. I played a game at Brockton Oval in 2012 and, like you, was in awe of the location and view. Here are some photos that don't do it justice.

That's just the sort of corporate bullshit I would expect from a CEO of that calibre.

Interestingly David Campese came into the Wallabies through the district route rather than schoolboys. Queanbeyan High did not have a rugby team and Campo played rugby league for the school. He played grade rugby for the Queanbeyan Whites and it was through that avenue that he came to be...

Ratings figures and analysis for both FTA and Foxtel are also here: http://www.mediaspy.org/forum/index.php

The Foxtel figures are out: 292,000 watched the match live and 150,000 watched the replays in the morning. A total figure of 442,000. Add the FTA figures and the the total live audience was 903,000. The total viewing figure was 1.053 million.

I would assume the Daily Telegraph (tabloid Sydney version, not broadsheet London version).

Hopefully the Ballymore ground staff have moved the plovers on. It may have been amusing to watch (in a schadenfreude type way) but I don't think the players would appreciate getting attacked again.

A friend posted this one on Facebook:

The subscription TV ratings for the AUS v ARG semi-final were 188,000. A great result for 2/3am on a Monday morning. Coffee sales through the roof too I would guess.
