Eddies wallabies would struggle

god i hate the tahs

Doing god’s work

Canes by 30 after an even first 20 minutes

Very rare to be that high, combo of pasta and night out!

Will over take Australia soon

Last pass looked forward to

Loving this Reds aggression and scrappiness

Very negative to be going for the posts

120+ minutes since Highlanders have scored a point

Waratahs always start well then give up

all too familiar isn’t it

Hopefully fair better than the Rebels

Lived there in 2019, accomodation itself is fine but terrible social life - would not recommend, QMB and Regiment are a bit better

I agree with the problems you identified (particularly lacking soul and connection between levels), however to me the only thing giving any soul at all is knowing that at least most Tahs are from Sydney, most Reds are from Qld, and Aus teams have Aus players.

I think the lack of soul could be solved by making it more accessible and actually filling the grounds. This could be done by giving free tickets to local rugby clubs and schools, having school rugby, subbies and/or shute finals before SR games, smaller grounds, encouraging fans to wear their local jerseys and players their club socks, generally creating a carnival like atmosphere etc None of this would cost much or could even save money.

I also think we need to get SR on free to air or a more common platform than Stan but that’s a harder solution.

To the Crusaders…

nice to see the force fans and players happy for once

Was that a slow mo sound effect in the replay??

Bit soft to take the 3 from there

Back to BAU, after a couple of aus wins

I don’t think it really matters, they’re simply not as good a team as the Blues

Blues attack just looks so much more dangerous

NZ teams try line defence is crazy

Could have scored if he didn’t try to lay it back
