    Also, Italy in 2017... in Brisbane... All three June tests that year had Saturday 3pm kick offs.

    Quite a few... Off the top of my head... South Africa in 2021 and 2022... Fiji in 2017... Samoa in 2005.

    True, but with the exception of a rare Lions and Bledisloe game at the 'G the Melbourne test matches are usually played at AAMI Park or Marvel.

    Nothing to do with stadium infrastructure, but rather deals being arranged by the respective state governments.

    Like I said, this isn't the first time the Wallabies have scheduled a test that clashes with club rugby, and I'm sure it won't be the last...

    Wallabies 2024

    As far as I'm aware there was never any plan to announce an April training squad, and Schmidt wasn't going to select his first squad until the end of the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) season...

    The one and only Wallaby Coach thread

    To be fair, how would the Rebels' lineout operate if they had a capable hooker?

    So, move the test to Adelaide?

    Australia played France on a Saturday afternoon in 2014 in Sydney when there were Shute Shield games on... I think the where is largely irrelevant though - the Wallabies have played Saturday afternoon tests when there has been club rugby being played at the same time on several occasions. If...

    No, they definitely happened... Two years ago when the Wallabies played the Boks on a Saturday afternoon in Adelaide there was club rugby being played at the same time in Queensland.

    And the 90’s… The 00’s… And two years ago.

    But if Mafi was 8ft tall he may have butted him in the crotch… so, yeah.

    Broadcast options for Australian Rugby

    That's because the Olympics will be shown live through Nine's channels, and streamed through 9Now and not Stan... I believe Stan will only contain additional content, although today's press contains something about 4K streams from the IOC.

    Rd 9: Auckland Blues v ACT Brumbies, Sat, April 20 2024

    Brumbies' rotation continues in the forwards, and a 6/2 bench... Saturday 20 April 5:05 PM AEST – Blues v ACT Brumbies at Eden Park, Auckland, ad-free, live and on demand on Stan Sport BLUES (1-15): Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Ricky Riccitelli, Marcel Renata, Patrick Tuipulotu (c), Laghlan McWhannell...

    I would say either of those latter two options are acceptable.

    There's another way to pronounce Reservoir? As for Tarneit... the last one.

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    No doubt there's going to be a lot of big promises and cash thrown around there leading up to the next state election...

    Yes, for all the bleating over club rugby - we’ve played plenty of test matches on Saturday afternoons in the past…

    Was there ever a time that wouldn’t be the case?

    Also, this is would have been RA’s decision. But it’s not surprising that Nine would preference an NRL game for their prime time slot.
