Lions notoriously hate wind, this is horrible news for them.

fixed it for you my completely sane friend.

I think this firmly falls into the home-ground advantage category. Similar to how broadcasters conveniently won't replay obvious knock ons for the home country but will happily replay them several times in excruciatingly slow motion if the away team does it. Ground announcers job is get the...

Plenty in the public across the board and across global rugby media have an opinion on it, which to reiterate Wilsons point - is exactly why the ground announcer's ribbing has struck a cord. There isn't a singular view within the world as to what is right and wrong. There is internal turmoil on...

Look mate I genuinely agree with you that these guys don't and shouldn't have a case to answer for in whether they should be playing for Lions - and there are several cases inside the Wallabies of foreign born players so we should be very careful throwing stones inside our very fragile glass...

Yeah that's fine - but why say it then?

And the 2025 Super Rugby title according to me in February. Anyway - this is the type of parochial QLD arrogance that pumps through my veins and I'm here for it. Can't see the kittens getting within 30.

Really interesting article this morning the the Courier Mail re: the leaking of commercial revenue for each of the NRL clubs (shocked this was a leak, I would have assumed someone just bothered to do the work could have dived into annual reports, but anyway). The TL;DR (/didn't sub) version is...

As in NZ and Aus will run their own independently?
