Live on 72 in Perth slight delay over east and live on fox around the country.

Amazing result for WA Rugby!

What is the point of delay to the East Coast?

So live on Fox at 8:30 EST.?

Won't that clash with the Rebels game? Or are they using a different channel to 505?

Correct live on fox on a different channel to the Rebels match.

Well hopefully the Rebs are well in front by that stage.

Wishful thinking

Correct live on fox on a different channel to the Rebels match.

Apparently to follow an AFL game. Priorities.

I think its fantastic that this is getting up. I hope it shows the establishment that they can't keep fucking around with their arse-covering instead of implementing strong, independent ideas for the betterment of rugby.

It isn't going to save rugby, mind, but it could provide an example of where to start.

So much serious overhaul needed to our pathways its like the A-League: burn it down, trash the existing tribalism and its issues, and start again. Within five years you might have something workable.

The big difference is we'll need to start at a lower level than the pro game.

Apparently to follow an AFL game. Priorities.

i.e. the shit-ton of money Seven pay for AFL rights trumps everything.

It’s great news. When was the last time the force pulled 20k? What did they get for their last game v the Tahs?

Hate is a powerful fuel

So tonight's match is a sell out however there were only 18500 tickets sold. This is due to the stage for Wolfmother. Just getting in now before ppl claim that 18500 is a disappointment.

Don't worry, the only disappointment will be Wolfmother............

For me ignorance is bliss, I'd never heard of Wolfmother.

Has there been a team list published for the Fiji Warriors?

That is sooo bad. To think the reds were averaging over 30k...

It's like nothing you've seen before. It's like rugby, but even better than that!

I'm into the hype.

Well done the Twigg.

Early penalty to Fiji, missed.

 

[dru]

First scrum dragging. Then in and gone. Not the best scrum.

 

[dru]

2nd scrum Ok, third is too. Not exactly quick but not wasting time.

 

[dru]

Fiji D is not too shabby.
