Australian Rugby / RA

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah, it's really not a bad idea. Get Uggs in there as well like VB has done.

Collabs are really the thing right now. Sports teams linking up with mostly grog companies for merch sells quickly. I had mates going after the Aus Cricket team floppy hats from Four Pines Brewing.

RA have signed a long term deal with Japan:

Rugby Australia announce partnership with Japan Rugby

Rugby Australia has confirmed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Japan Rugby Football Union.

www.rugby.com.au

Covers Wallabies, Wallaroos, Aus A, Age grade and post season super rugby fixtures. Looks like a really good move.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

I like it. I think it would be good to expand it and allow automatic Wallaby eligibility for any Australian playing over there too.

 

[Dan54]

Think that's great, and with both Aus and NZ signing up agreement with Japan, is only good for expansion of RC etc, and eventually doing something at superish level!!

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Love it.

Especially love "The agreement will see the two nations look to formalise annual pre/post-season tours between Super Rugby and Japan Rugby League One clubs".

Hope this can just be the start of doors opening to other regional options around Super Rugby.

 

[Confucius Say]

Yes also love it. Very smart rationale - very very high potential on many levels.

Multiple benefits for multiple stakeholders including players, coaches, staff, sponsors, families and broadcasters!

 

[Confucius Say]

Similar time zones with opposite hemispheres. Well done to all.

Crocs seem to be the dunlop volleys for millennials.

It’s not a shoe I’d generally associate with someone under 40…

It must be a Queensland thing?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Been to any Club/School Boy footy or any sport over the last 5 years?

Every kid has them on with their socks. Tbf it must be comfortable.

 

[Adam84]

Yep half of the of inner west Sydney are wearing crocs over socks also, It’s a fashion trend for the hipsters.

 

[wamberal]

It's crazy, isn't it. I've heard senior SRU personalities talking about how the NRL started, based on the existing clubs. That's probably not the way that Queensland League saw it but whatever.

The big Super League war led to the formation of the NRL. NSW dominated the code for many year, no doubt mainly because poker machines were legal in NSW. Most good QLD players were forced to play in the NSW comp if they wanted to earn the very big bucks.

Yeah… so the missing ingredient here is that SRU isn’t the wealthy or attracting all the interstate talent

So they’re the RM Williams for private schools rugby kids?

Alrighty, back to rugby chat…

Crumbs - I had no idea that I can dig out my old long socks and sandals. The RM Williams can go back in the cupboard. Hurrah!

The old Bata Scouts won't qualify for Slim's stereotyping, they will need to be Birkenstocks.

Found this interesting, RA & rugby.com.au batting above its average I’d argue, especially for overall content generation.

Is that 'subsribers' from Rugby Xplorer?

Because if so, those 'subscribers' are every player and official involved (which at 100k must be close), which may not be apple's and apples.
