Is it going back to 3 bledisloes
If so we should host 2 of them (we haven't since 2017 and 2020 they also hosted 2)

Would be good if we sold the 3rd game, Japan, Qatar or even Twickenham

Would qatar be interested ? Oil money could save Australian Rugby?

Qatar?? Hell no if you have any regard for human rights
It hasn't been confirmed that its going back to 3 games and even so we should obviously keep our home game for the best chance of winning (but don't play it in Sydney)

Can we sell all of them? Get some cash, don't have to watch the Bledisloe. Win/win.

Australia has a terrible human rights record too, but they're still able to play. Us westerners should look in our own backyard first.
They also hosted the soccer world cup over there, so surely the Human Rights can't be that bad.

Also the NRL are playing in Las Vegas. Why can't we go over there too? Surely there will be more interest in Union.

They import cheap Labour, the same way Australia does. Every country does it. You could class it as modern day slavery, but you're kidding yourself if you think it only happens over there.

You seriously think that means they have a good human rights record because they got the WC, see yourself out
Corruption and $$
Did you hear of the thousands of workers who died and committed suicide
Revealed: 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since World Cup awarded
Guardian analysis indicates shocking figure over the past decade likely to be an underestimate

Im just pointing out facts, why does it trigger you so badly that Australia does the same? You really think migrants don't get taken advantage of over here?
Derpus
Nathan Sharpe (72)
Of course they do. It doesn't trigger me at all. It's just a terrible rationale - as they teach you as a small child two wrongs do not make a right.
Besides, equating migrant abuses here to what they do to migrants in the middle east is pretty apples and oranges.

They are, but not to the extent in Qatar where over 6K die

Qatar's human rights issue extend far beyond labour abuse - would recommend you do some quick research

'Racism, discrimination and confiscated passports'. This is not a third world problem. This is common among migrants in Australia
One in six migrants are paid less than the national minimum wage and the exploitation is also undercutting local workers, according to a new report by the Grattan Institute.
