    Enjoy losing the referendum :)

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Goes to show the level of group think and lack of diversity of thought in these organisations. Ironic given they have a fawning conga line of sycophants that evangelise "diversity" (political and regional diversity not included sorry). Perhaps we should have quotas for regional and interstate...

    No, no voters aren't going to stop watching, except for the intergalactically dim people that do watch sky (who were probably never rugby fans in the first place, and allegedly said they'd stop watching after Folau anyway), but this is a debate about what the right thing to do is, not whether it...

    Which claims? I'd love to know. I personally utterly detest Sky News, so I'm very surprised to be compared to them. PS here is a trend chart of the YES v NO vote, published in the Sydney Morning Herald (NOT SKY!) yesterday. If anything, the voice primary vote is falling earlier, and faster...

    Can I say I don't think the statement is very good at all, and it's clearly written by an organisation that doesn't know what it's getting into when it wades into a very very serious political issue. For a start, as a political issue, this is far more party partisan than the previous issues...

    2022 Bledisloe Cup. Wallabies vs All Blacks

    Still apoplectic. It really is just outrageous

    2022 Bledisloe Cup. Wallabies vs All Blacks

    Rugby AU must demand a response from the highest levels of World Rugby leadership. Just fucking outrageous

    The ridiculous rumoured ban against a fan for calling Eddie Jones a traitor

    The disdain for fans being a bit passionate and rowdy is exactly why this game struggles to rate in mainstream Australia Important to remember most Australians don't actually think life is a Surry Hills People and Culture Department, as much as people here repeat their talking points and worldview

    The ridiculous rumoured ban against a fan for calling Eddie Jones a traitor

    Not sure the Fair Work Act will actually allow Nine to sack him. You have to remember the catch-all contractual clauses like 'bringing the game into disrepute' don't apply to back room staff (which is a good thing - strongly disagree with companies having a right to sack employees for what they...

    Different guy. That guys ban is deserved. This guy is completely different

    The ridiculous rumoured ban against a fan for calling Eddie Jones a traitor

    I can't be the only one out there that finds it a complete affront to Australian values that the bloke who called Eddie Jones a traitor is speculated to be banned from Wallabies games for five years as reported this afternoon by The Australian. Outrageous, and a disgrace if it goes ahead. On...

    Australia v England: Match II @ Suncorp 7.55pm AEST, 09/07

    Outplayed in the first half in the tight, England kicked random penalties for nothing, we waste our set piece chances in the second half

    Australia v England: Match II @ Suncorp 7.55pm AEST, 09/07

    Loving the build up to this test and the series in general. Feels like the first time in ages where the talking points are entirely rugby focussed rather than rugby au leadership shitshow / Folau saying something dumb / some other non rugby controversy, isn’t it great

    Australia v England: Match II @ Suncorp 7.55pm AEST, 09/07

    I'd have liked to see Vunivalu get a run over Wright who I don't think has as much potential at test level, but you can't really say it's a howler or anything. Still a decent team, Kellaway is a loss though. I suspect Wrights inclusion is more about him being a known quantity defensively and...
