A tweet quoted in that article
A rough Australia A XV of players left out:
Johnson-Holmes, Kaitu’u, Robertson, Smith, Blyth Hanigan, McReight, Harris, Lonergan, Donaldson, Pulu, To'omua, Foketi, Campbell, Hodge
Really showcases the depth built under Rennie
Does it? Our leftovers would smash your leftovers.

Just an observation but the goalkicking this year from the Australian teams seemed pretty poor, not sure if anyone has access to the stats but it appears to be a weakness come test time when every point counts. I guess that is another reason for Quade in the side as he is probably the pick of the bunch.

Quade will be an important player for Oz because Lolesio isn’t quite there.
A lot of very good backline players in that squad, but can Rennie get the combinations right? He has failed to do so since taking over.

To be replaced by the Ella-Mobbs Trophy.
Good idea all round, even though we'll no doubt have to put up with the News Corp snowflakes crying about "cancel culture" for a bit

Or no one will really care too much about the name change. It’s a wild idea to name a rugby trophy after two former rugby players.

"When they said the Ella-Mobbs I sort of took it for granted that obviously, it was me and my brothers"
"Ella mob" lol

@Machpants might upgrade to 4k Stan for July and see whether the extra $10 is worth it... and whether my third-rate* internet can handle it.
(* using "third world" feels inappropriate when the third world often has better internet)

You should be able to get by on 25 Mbps for 4K (so long as not downloading much else) . Some sources even suggest as low as 15 Mbps, although that might be "ersatz 4K"...
So, unless you have corroded copper FTTN**(thanks, Malcolm!) it's worth a shot.
** That would be fourth-rate.

@Kiap not sure about the corrsion, but there is ~930m of copper between my house and the nearest node, so....
I get about 26mbps on average.
Fibre arriving some time soon apparently.

I'd say you were right then, 3rd rate -- if there's no dropouts, that is (some other poor saps can't even get consistent 25Mbps).

Some folks are already signing up for the FibreConnect upgrade. If you contact your provider (provided they're not a shit tier ISP) and your area is eligible now, they can probably hook you up in around 5-6 weeks.

@Machpants National fibre network is easily one of the best things our government has ever done.

Probably by looking at Oz and doing the exact opposite.

@Machpants said in Aussie Rugby:
Fuck me, I'm in a little coastal village and I'm on gig
I can get 1000mbps from one provider when fibre finally arrives - the catch: it is 1000/50 which seems... well, fucked...
And $149 a month.

I'm on a gig plan, actual is 950/500, $85 with no contract, I can swap any time a better deal arrives

Unfortunately we can't get cheap internet because the muppet who originally set up the framework insisted NBN achieve a market return. Considering our net debt, it would be a better solution if it was added to the books and the capex just accepted as a sunk cost.

Very few dropouts. TBH it is quite stable and Exetel are probably doing the best job they can in shit circumstances.
I honestly have more issues with the Google Wifi than the connection to the outside world.

I've emailed them - last time I checked they had no idea.
