@duluth would this be the norm if we had a 'national stadium' as proposed several years ago?

Late change of date/venue makes this a bit different. If all big matches were moved to EP you'd have travel packages etc and people making plans weeks out etc

Geez - do posters realise it is a 23 player game these days and the All Blacks learned over a decade ago that a lack of a plan B at RWC could have them out. Fern posters have gone on and on about not having plan B's too,
So, the current coaches are addressing this by training for scenarios where they lose a key player through injury or a card early, and making sure that the players slotting into another position can do so relatively seamlessly. Seems intelligent to me and a big tick for this regime. You can only have 8 on the bench. I have assumed that Jordie is seen as potential cover at 12 this week, else they would have most likely promoted Quinn Tupaea. There will be a planned scenario for the loss of any player.
The AB's will likely have a pecking order of 4 players minimum for any jersey number, and will do their best to build experience of each of those candidates in that jersey within the RWC leadup campaign. I see nothing wrong with that, and am happy for us not to be winning by 50 points with out best 15 playing 80 minutes every week, if we are progressing forward our troops for the RWC battle. Then, they will pick the best 23 players to deal with whatever the opposition are expected to throw at them that week, and will continue their admirable philosophy (big tick for current regime) of not picking players who are injured, but seeing it as an opportunity to further develop an understudy in preparation for what may come.
All these posts wanting Foster to be dumped for not keeping players in their preferred jersey number at all times would seem to based on nasty agendas and not on reason....

Except they're not doing this. They're picking Jordie Barrett because he deserves to be picked as a fullback on form, but then they also have to pick Beauden, McKenzie and Mo'unga, and Jordan. So then they're playing him on the wing because he 'deserves' a spot. The bench balance is fucked with 2 Barretts there.
The boks with 6 forwards on the bench in the WC were seeing it as a 23 man game, our dullards are not. -

Yeah, at least that is pub o’clock for most Aussies.

Shouldn't that not matter as it has to be carried on FTA? Or do you reckon most pubs are locked into those deals for satellite tv (the one that the racing guy, also head of NRL, totally had nothing whatsoever to do with Stan being blocked from).

@crazy-horse Stan has no pub/club deal available yet AFAIK. So yeah, technically a pub streaming it is breaching the user agreement.

They can. The ads are a bad look IMHO.

I forgot about free to air! I really ought to reacquaint myself with the people in the cheap seats.
But, I haven't seen rugby on at a pub since it went to Stan, free to air or not.

I hate watching rugby at the pub, I like sitting my fat ass down right infront of my big tv and not have anyone jibber jabbing around me. I'm antisocial as fuck when watching rugby.

Same. Other people just annoy me. But when I am away I don't really have a choice.

Ennor. Although he was 99% certain of not being in the frame regardless.
