Just wanted to say thanks to Richard Graham. You might not have been a super hero, or a super coach, but you had a great go. Your results were poor no doubt, and a fair portion of that can be attributed to you, but you also had some fu**in bad luck at times. You're passionate about Queensland...

defeinitely agree re: perfect storm. A lot of casual fans have a hard on for any kind of live footy in February, particularly the league fans that watch a bit of rugby. Case in point is that the TV ratings for Rugby are always very good in the first few weeks of the season before dropping away

This really makes the years of having it at Adelaide and the Gold Coast look like the dumbest thing ever

SMH today reporting over 70,000 tickets have been sold. Wow.

120 million does sound a bit high. The big markets are UK which would get around 10m watching and France which would get the same I would imagine. Going from 20m to 120 is a big jump.

Can anyone link me to these numbers?

I suppose. Anyway, Cheika getting Coach of the year probably balances things out

Can't disagree with Barbarian more. It's player of the year, not player of the tournament! If you play well in two games it shouldn't be enough to veto all other performances. The facts are that Carter has had a ho-hum year apart from this World Cup. Pocock has been excellent right throughout...

That's a special result for Rugby. Pats on the back all round. Does that outrate Bledisloe I? Must come very close. Amazing result given the 2/3 am kick off. Wow. Go you good thing!!

I think the inherent problem with counting people who watch at the pub is that a) it's very costly to count them as they leave and enter the pub. b) they are probably too pissed to see ads all that well / during ads will have chats to mates. All in all I think you have to be happy with...

BBC need to put old boys day on when they play a top 4 team... current score 52-5 and not even half time. This could get very ugly

Ticket sales have been quite good and my pick is for a crowd of 75,000 based on what I've seen on ticketek and a few late sales

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone from TGS knows if they release the footage + audio they have from their main field on Saturday? I reffed a game and would love to have a watch of what went right and wrong. Cheers

As a referee that penalty try was nothing short of shameful

Well here we all are, get excited fans of Australian Rugby. It might be a mammoth task. It still probably won't happen. But if the ponies burn the hurricanes birthday party cake tin (get it?), and the Waratahs put away those smelly Highlanders, we will have our first ever all Australian final in...

Got to agree with calls for Rugby to be in term 2. Many boys opt out to play in term 3 because of the QCS (and schools hyping up the QCS as some kind of end of the world, when at maximum it makes you take a year longer to get in the course you want). Soccer currently gets the favourable deal...

If you're a history nut like me there's nothing better than stumbling across some delicious footage that until the advent of youtube had been locked in the basement of some news channel for years, and Rugby history is no different! And so it was with great delight that I discovered the youtube...

A trip to the republic for the Brumbies to play the Stormers! My thoughts - Where are all those Sharks fans that complained about the Reds getting a home qualifier in 2012 despite being last in the six for overall points? Now the boots on the other foot the complaints from RSA seem to have...

As a Reds fan I'll still be going for the Reds no doubt but a loss would be offset by the fact that NSW get a home semi final, and all importantly, money, which is in short supply for Rugby. That and the fact that we won't steal the Force's reputation for being "that fucken team that plays...
