Rugby Championship 2021

What's with the pathetic crowds? Double header of quality rugby and stadium half full. Why do they bother with rugby on the GC?

Any sport. In fact. Why is the Gold Coast?

Rieko's haircut is fucking atrocious. Fuck he's easy to hate.

I’m assuming they were ticketed separately. Maybe a lot of Aussies on the Gold Coast didn’t want to pay to watch Kiwis play Argentinians? I’d do both, but I’m pretty die hard. Plus there’s an NRL final in progress.

I think they’re just spreading it around so Brisbane don’t get all the fun, and preserving Suncorp for the NRL. The 100th test between SAF and ABs is in Townsville

Also depends where the NRL is being played.

Townsville and Suncorp have been seriously cut up lately.

No, all sold as double headers. Reasonable prices to. Those asking why the GC? Because it's one of three stadiums capable of hosting tests in this Covid reality. And Sunday night is a school night.....

McNugget's effort was much closer than it looked in real time. But, if it's simultaneous, why not give the attacking team the benefit of the doubt?

If I was there I would be currently somewhere close to beer watching on the screen. Hopefully the crowd builds for the Wallabies.

Thanks for clarifying. Still as you say, it’s a school night and maybe not everyone wanted to spend 5 hours at the stadium, plus as I pointed out there’s an NRL final in progress which may be of more interest to many than this game. As long as it’s pretty full for our game I’ll be happy.

ABs are playing a completely different (starting) game against the Pumas c/f Wallabies. Against us they did not attemp[t anything like this amount of possession up front. And they focussed on taking 3points until ahead.

What is the possession stat like at the moment?
