All blacks socials throwing a little shade

I've registered my interest, but there are precious few games worth the travel expense. Unless i get tickets to the Wallabies game i doubt i will bother

Good ABs opener is only Chile, be on at 11.15pm here , but pretty sure not a lot will bother staying up for it. Wallabies at 9.15 so not too bad.
Whoops then read properly and saw the time of 6.15 was NZT and not Perth time.
And Wallabies 7.10 our time. -

Yep Mariner apart from Wallabies , I can't see too much interest in the pool games. Well except in maybe countries like HK and Chile .

Both the winner and runner up of pool A play their round of 16 match in Brisbane, then their QFs in Sydney.
Winner of pool A plays on the Saturdays and runner up plays on Sundays. -

The All Blacks’ round of 16 game will be in Brisbane assuming they top their pool.
A home test for the ABs then.

Looking at those games, I am unconvinced about the 24 nations World Cup. There are going to be a lot of very one-sided games that will be over as a contest inside the first 20 minutes.
WR wants more playoff games, so one-sided pool games is the consequence.

been saying it for years....make qualifying a bigger deal so smaller countries have some home games against larger opposition, bit of home support....dont have to travel etc....raise the profile in those countries....but keep the RWC proper as a tight elite competition

Qualifying doesnt bring in the $

@KiwiMurph im no expert so people feel free to ignore me...just feels like a greater good situation, growing the sports fan base has to trump the four yearly cash grab...plus the original point, move the blow outs off the big stage
