yep ticket still available. Good seat, will consider an offer...

ticket's still knocking about people......

personally i support mr hansen's comments. one of the recent sad demises of rugby has been the lack of the pacific islanders touring at a high profile level. Top level matches against tier one nations would give young, uncapped players like sione lauaki and siti sivivatu exposure to...

ticket to paris included for promiscuous underwear model in line to inherit brewing empire.

Hi. A mate bailed on me so I have a spare ticket (good seat too) to this game. Please leave msg if you are interested in sitting with your head in your hands & wondering wtf dingo is thinking in a really cool city. Ian

Ok, guess i misread the article. I was reading it quickly in a conference when I am supposed to be concentrating on work, but the question stands. Any opinions on Dingo's thoughts on the area still. The dark arts of the front row are something of a mystery to me.

Hi. Just read in the vs Wales player ratings that Kepu's performance dropped off when he swapped sides. Two questions. Why on earth pick a prop on the wrong side in the first place, which I believe has happened a lot under Dingo. Secondly, why swap him mid match? My questions are...

jokes aside, it's hard not to blame J'ON. I very much doubt he figured it would piss down and given we are shit in the rain, the moment it was forecast we were on shakey ground. The only reason for the game was revenue and his bonuses. I'd dearly love to know if his bonus is related to him...

Sharpie must wonder what he has to do sometimes.

It'll be reviewed in a few years, I am pretty sure they will build reviews into the agreement and if the projections are wrong I guess they'll need to adjust it. They'll also need to adjust it for other factors, e.g. if the Euro implodes and the threat from france reduces. The tough thing...

Clearly niether us of know the exact wording but it's very easy to word a contract such that it would be enforceable. Standing in a court saying, "yes, I picked 13 players you've never heard of and I genuinely think these are the best players for this game plan, my current crop of highly played...

interesting to see the SA point and there is a solid argument that the new pool system helps Australia out to some degree but to keep the AUD pouring in, I remain convinced there is more to it in the longer run. The previous system had very poorly attended matches when SA and NZ sides showed up...

Your comment relates to the 50 odd point hiding and is off topic as Australia fielded a weakened line up through injury, not deliverate resting of players. not gonna go further with this one.

Some points (and thanks for commenting) 1) If it were me, I'd be suing for the lost TV and ticket revenue. According to the article I linked, J'ON suggested the ARU lost 760K in 2007 as a result of this. I expect the TV companies will not be pleased either - they didn't like the AB...

I just read in "The Australian" that PDV might drag his 2nd XV over here for their away tests. As I have tickets to the Sydney test against SA, I am a wee bit annoyed at paying top dollar to watch a bunch of second stringers. I've had this chat before about other incidents, e.g. the...
