    Bledisloe #1 - AUS v NZL, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, August 8th

    Unlikely to sell out apparently. How much were tickets?

    Wallabies v. Springboks, 18th July 2015, Suncorp, Brisbane

    Only test in Brisbane this year and they are struggling..... Will the ARU pay attention for once?

    Wallabies v. Springboks, 18th July 2015, Suncorp, Brisbane

    Top tier closed to hide another poor turnout?

    Why is Marto employed as a commentator?

    You're kidding yourself if you think the Fox Sports commentators are anything other than embarrassing. Easily the worst in the English Speaking Rugby world.

    Bledisloe Cup 2019 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground?

    Well having games at smaller grounds means you can allocate priority access to Super Rugby members or other ARU priority groups. I don't know if the ARU have an equivalent to to CA's Australian Cricket Family or the FFA's Football Family which includes A-League Club members, grassroots...

    Bledisloe Cup 2019 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground?

    Did you know that Rugby is popular in Wellington and not in Melbourne? It must come as quite a shock to you to figure this out so late. It would also come as a shock to you that people aren't willing to go to a event that they don't really like in the first place, if the venue is inadequate...

    Bledisloe Cup 2019 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground?

    If that's the case then let Sydney or Brisbane keep it, I'll happily take another test match in Melbourne if it means keeping AAMI Park.

    Bledisloe Cup 2019 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground?

    Please god, no more damn AFL grounds. All tests in Melbourne must be played at AAMI Park from now on. We've only just been rid of Etihad and now people are suggesting moving to an even bigger dump of a ground for Rugby. It's been shown time and time again that there are only about 30k people...

    Friday 8th May, Rebels v Blues @ AAMI Park

    Going to be more Blues fans than rebels at this rate. There will be 50k at Etihad for the Melbourne Derby and at least 70k at the MCG for Collingwood vs Geelong, zero chance of a crowd. Know plenty of Rebels regulars who are choosing to go to the A-League instead.

    Big change to eligibility rules

    It's a step in the right direction but it's still too rigid and unrealistic. Giteau coming back is overdue as his Toulon form is unreal but the other players Australia need brought back into the fold like Digby and Mowen aren't eligible. 60 Caps is unrealistic for the majority of players that...

    Aussie Player Exodus

    When you have more than 5 professional sides in your country, it doesn't matter if you import foreign players. There are plenty of clubs for English or French national team players to play at.

    Rio Olympics

    Just because 55% of scots chose to stay in the Union (a number which is going to decline as more of the old blokes die each year), does not mean they want to support a GB team.

    Rio Olympics

    Yeah nah, no one in Scotland and Wales wants to support a GB team.

    The Gold Brigade

    In what way was it a success? It was just as quiet and boring as every other year, all it meant was all the flogs got put together.
