AfL GF been the same fucking day and time for 100 years basically

okay - we're all rugby people, don't know anything about the AFL, neither does the NZRU

A family member had the pleasure of having a couple of not so quiet ones with Phil at a local pub after the Townsville win. Echoed your positive sentiments, and then some. Really feels more and more like his appointment was a deft choice.

Hells teeth from this side of the Tasman, the Waugh/Herbert combo seem to be a bloody good choice for Aus Rugby. They reall seem to have fingers on pulse and taking game forward, and I know some in Melbourne disagree, just saying how it seems from afar. A big bloody plus.

I don't either, never watched a game in my life. Have no interest in it. But even in passing knowledge it's known.. and I'm almost certain pro union administrators and tv executives would know.

It's a combination of NZR's indifference to Australian TV and the belief back when it was scheduled that the Wallabies is a loser team a lot of Aucklanders would sit out paying money for when the Springboks were just in town

 

[Sword of Justice]

They (NZR) are more than entitled to think ‘who gives a fuck about AFL’ as well as ‘maybe this is why you haven’t beaten us for 20 something years if you care so much about this prancing poodle sport’ and that’s fine but their bigger issue is not being commercially minded with regards to their most important partner. They need our engagement in the long run or they’ll just end up on the same trajectory that we have been on for 20 years.

Wallabies looking slick and confident. All blacks unprepared for what's to come

Nothing says slick & confident like practicing standing under your goalposts...

Enjoy @Wilson & any other G&GRs who've made their way to "The Garden".

I'll put the C130 in Brisbane river of fire to that.

 

[rugbyAU]

talked all week about starting well...

 

[dru]

Too many advantages already inside the 22.

 

[Tomthumb]

All it took was the AB’s taking it into touch yet getting the lineout and Savea throwing it a mile forward for NZ to score. Not surprising considering the ref

 

[Spamnoodle]

Why did the AB get the lineout feed when they put Sititi over the sideline?

 

[Tomthumb]

Blatantly blocked Toole, of course no penalty

 

[ACR]

Blatantly blocked Toole, of course no penalty

How about that piss weak penalty?

 

[dru]

Happy to see 3 taken at this stage.

 

[Yoda]

Too much pick and drive... it was on out wide. JOC (James O'Connor) screaming for it!

 

[dru]

Not liking this ref

 

[Tomthumb]

How about that piss weak penalty?

Which one?

 

[rugbyAU]

discipline, slow starts, coach killers
