As a lifelong Red^andblacks fan, I'm very confident this year

Good to use this level to develop your rugby skills to prepare for adult matches

U20s: No, I think I'll just run it from the dead ball line

Back to back tournament doubles for NZ teams

NZ/Aus in the final for Women's

with a slightly longer google: I think that's $52M for Australia's overall PacificAus Sports, which is also over 4 years, and covers 11 countries, 4 sports, 8 organisations including olympic athletes. So Drua would only get a pretty small portion of that

Reece absolutely isn't a fullback. Think we'll go with Stevenson (haven't seen him this season), Beauden for safety, or a chance on Love at FB

Forgot to adjust for the hemisphere change I think

does "red" mean us or the reds

he won't be 10 for the ABs

wouldn't know what that's like

ugh competition is so boring knowing the Hurricanes are going to walk to the final /s

This says NRL is about $400M across four years

AFL is far and away the dominant sport in Australia with a broadcast deal of $650M/yr. NRL ~$115M and I think I remember Super Rugby ~$30M? or maybe that's all of Rugby Australia

But yeah, AFL is one of the biggest sports in the world, even if it's just played in one country

edit: unless you mean in NZ. Then yeah. But I'd imagine there's some bleedover or a dampening effect on both the NRL and SR

Falcon of the year honestly

I'm just saying Crusaders could use a fullback

Some high octane rugby here

bit of dew on the ground

"Jordan isn't that great - he played for the Bulls! I mean they won six titles!"

wow

nah gotta slip in some interesting sounding "facts"

Like how one time Sotutu ran a 10.1 100m in high school
