They can regularly be found for 200 bucks in Queensland at a sale and are worn by everyone from jackaroos to coal miners to lawyers. Perhaps New South Wales people should reflect on their misunderstanding of Queensland culture instead of the same tired cliched branding of everyone who wears an...

Actually, it'd be great, a lot of ordinary people in NSW but particularly Queensland love RM's, contrary to your assertion

My understanding is that the European tour rights are sold seperately

Nine has the right to do with the matches what it likes, but I'd suggest it's unlikely wallabies games will be punted to the second channel / Stan, because TV has changed. Ten years ago a low end Wallabies game would be outrated by a Saturday night movie like Jurassic Park. The reality is no one...

What a fantastic deal. Hamish McLennan has, in just six months -crushed the NZRU like dixie cups at a frat party - somehow convinced 3 broadcasters to put up legitimate bids for Super Rugby and the Wallabies, during the height of the biggest recession in living memory and structural decline in...

Surely the only possible reason Foxtel is even being considered as an option is the immediate cash injection it would bring. Just get on the phone to Twiggy and tell him to cough up

Less is more. I prefer main caller, colour commentator alongside him, sideline for injury updates and that's about it. Having a cast of thousands is confusing and makes it seem like a townhall meeting as opposed to a broadcast

The CH 9 deal is imo, a very good deal. Sure, it doesn't quite get the cash we need, but the reality is the previous arrangement was a liquidation deal which declined the value of the asset in return for cash. Stan is also not exactly an obscure streaming service, it has 2.2 million...

I'll do it

Fair points re Gordon yesterday and White missing those tackles. I still think Gordon looked a little rushed in Wellington but maybe it's not perception. I'm not suggesting we change things - I still think McDermott needs some time to develop and White is the strongest we have, particularly...

Gordon also looked lost in the closing minutes of Wellington, a great running player who is unsuited to tense, pressured parts of test matches with a territorial and attritional game plan

Think people are getting caught up in the doom and gloom. There was really 10 minutes of that 80 min game that we got dominated for. We were unlucky not to put on two more tries for 21 - 27 -- including some suspicious maul defence in the lead up to the BPO non try. Obviously we missed too many...

Just wanted to say that over the past decade the SARU has proved to Rugby fans that they are the most pig headedly ignorant, disgraceful and grubby rugby organisation there is. This absolute fraud of a removal from the championship is clearly about punishing NZ & AU for leaving it out of Super...

Meakes seems to dawdle a lot, crab and not commit defenders, giving opposition defensive lines time to slide left or right

Bunch of Rebels in Queensland Eh? Uni students in revolt or something are they? Don’t you worry about that. Reds by 20

Killer political move by Hamish Mclennan. It's up there with making barnaby Joyce the special envoy for drought. Give them something to do, get them out of the day to day commentary picture and get clean air. Hell, make him head of the special taskforce for finding MH 370 as well, on secondment...

Realistically, the Japan & Arg move is all about getting leverage at the neg table and having a plausible alternate competition. Good, leverage up and smash 'em. Recruit the pacific island team as well. NZRU will be back at the table

Yep, to be honest, it probably was. But it wasn't the career-ending move that expanding it from 15 to 18 was, that just utterly destroyed the comp. I've admitted the ARU's shortfalls, will you now admit the NZRU's? Holding an 18 year grudge over losing the 2003 World Cup because of commercial...

If this quote is correct (I can't find it??) then it shows we finally have a RA board that actually knows what it's doing. The failure to stand up to SA in (2015?) with the introduction of farcical 18 team comp was the greatest failure of Bill Pulver's leadership imo, that saw the competition go...

I strongly support the TT competition, but it needs to be negotiated from an even footing and have the appropriate amount of Aussie teams. There hasn't been a single post on here advocating for Australia having two teams. Your argument is a straw man
