Aussie Pro Rugby

Whilst I am happy for Oz Rugby and what 9 are doing, I did really like Kayo as it offered so much sport for $25. It seems long term there will be a subscription for every fucken sport and we will have to be very selective in what we can afford to watch.

Is there any value in Youtube premium?
I use it mainly because it includes YouTube Music so I don't have to pay for tunes. Also no ads which is nice as that was starting to shit me. Once you average it out across 2 adults and 2 kids it is a cost I don't think about much these days.
I've been a bit slack in watching the shows I've lined up on Amazon Prime, and Netflix is strictly for the wife's bullshit like The Crown.
Disney+ is only on for Mando, and only then because the boy couldn't wait until they'd released the whole series for a binge watch
and the wife was complicit...I really got Amazon to watch The Expanse, so should probably put it on hold for a few months BUT the Euro Nations Cup Rugby is apparently going to be streamed...

Australians now able to watch Rugby Union without having a hole drilled through their house
CLANCY OVERELL | Editor
... The ex-Sydney Private Schoolboys that maintain control over the grassroots spending are reportedly ‘furious’ at the prospect of working class Australians being able to once again take part in the game they play in heaven.
However, the transition to free-to-air was the only option for RA interim CEO Rob Clarke, who cited the growing membership numbers and TV audiences in rival codes.
“We thought, why not let the povo kids watch a few matches” said Clarke.
“Maybe they’ll even play”
“Maybe this is a way to make sure rugby union remains the number one sport for all the Kiwis moving to Western Sydney by the tens of thousands”
... [snip] ...
Rugby Australia says the partnership will “reboot the game at every level” – especially because Australians of all socio-economic backgrounds can now watch rugby union matches without having to let Rupert Murdoch send a tradesman over to drill a hole through their house and run a cable through it for the basement price of $119 per month.
... While Ex-Wallabies who played under Alan Jones appear disgruntled that the sacred game may now become popular with kids who have names like ‘Jayden’ and ‘Corey’ – the new deal has been described as a win for an organisation that doesn’t see too many wins.
RA is now moving to get the game played in more than just three elite private boys schools.

Is Bray still alive? They could pick him up on a free transfer you would think.
Yes. He does Channel 10 FTA for TRC at the moment. It is about as awful as you'd think, but I'll bet he's a leader in his church or something.
At least he's stopped trying to make up nicknames. Still oodles of random facts about schools/clubs etc that player A/B/C went to.
they better fucking hire Louise Ransome
Even better if they hire fucking Louise Ransome

New neighbour has just moved in, Michael Hooper. My office overlooks his backyard. The wife is looking at setting up a webcam, as he tends to get changed to surf in the backyard.

I have an All Blacks flag you can hang from your office if you’d like?

@dK go and do the Haka next time you know he is getting ready for a surf!

@taniwharugby if the haka doesn't scare him my pasty white fish belly will!

Do it. Then next Bledisloe I'll see if he laughs at the memory of it.

@KiwiMurph He's a poach that backfired on us. Could be wearing black right now had he stayed in Auckland. Apparently it was Matt Duffie who told the Storm to go after him when they were looking to replace Duffie at the Storm. I think he's going to add a lot to the Wallabies.

Circulating in the paper today:
A six-week, 10-team trans- Ta$man Super Rugby competition is days away from being signed off by Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby powerbrokers.
While some element of trans- Ta$man Super Rugby was tipped to return next year, it was expected to simply be the winner of Super Rugby AU facing the winner of Super Rugby Aotearoa.

@NTA so were thinking this is on top of super rugby Aotearoa/Australia?

yes it happens after.
Multiple sources have told the Herald the trans- Ta$man competition will kick off on May 15 – one week after the domestic deciders – and will finish in time for the Wallabies and All Blacks to begin preparations for inbound Test tours in July. -

That makes it 5 Pumas playing Super AU in 2021.
Medrano, Miotti, Lezana as well as Tomás Cubelli and Julián Montoya, all signed by the Force.
A few more and the Jaguares will play Super Rugby after all! :face_with_tears_of_joy:
