some idiot has decided to put it on the same time as the AFL grand final.

That's irrelevant to a NZ audience.

Some idiot has decided to play the Perth test at 10:45 pm NZT.

My neighbour who I get on with said yesterday I’m having people over for the grand final , you coming .

I said love to mate but the Allblacks are playing at the same time and my team isn’t in the grand final ,

He looked confused and said , But it’s the grand final ,

"But it's the All Blacks, not two suburbs from Victoria"

(Brisbane isn't actually in Victoria ... the Goldie arguably is ...)

My thoughts were a domestic club game or a full on international?

When is the Aussie Rules international season again?

Exactly, and they decided to play Wallabies test with Pumas in afternoon, when a 7.30 kick off would of meant a breakfast time test in Argentina.
Perhaps they decided that games would be played where it suited the people that go to games.

Brisbane are in it too …. but they are still Fitzroy in Melbourne, so yeah

They get bigger crowds than rugby. 60K at Marvel or 100K at the G for a regular season game is crazy

Precisely my point. They relocated a Victorian suburb's team.

NRL would never do such a thing. Rugby are amateurs in a professional world

The NRL regularly put the Warriors head to head with the big Super game of the week and scheduled a final for the same time as an AB test. They're as dumb as each other.

Edit: @SammyC beat me to it.

[canefan]

Fair enough

AB's by plenty tomorrow. Playing at Eden Park and coinciding with Week A of our on/off rotation of giving a fuck makes us basically unbeatable.

Score prediction 35-15

Was going to like but can you please clarify 35-15 to who?

Does my opening sentence not povide a guide? :face_with_tongue:

I read that as breakdancing. Might be in trouble.

absolutely it all comes down to who owns broadcasting rights and what matters for them.

However given a bledisloe cup is now 9 (and likely Aus a good shot this year) and channel 9 have right to NRL grand final, I would actually expect they would play it differently this year.

Every other game though Fox wouldn't give a shit given they have no broadcast rights to rugby and would do what they did only a couple of weeks ago

What else is there to do in Melbourne? Attend a protest, get macheted? At least attending a sporting fixture you're reducing the odds of being present during a home invasion.

So Slipper has got to 150 tests , good on him.
Obviously cocaine hasn't stuffed him up too much.

1 test try apparently. So either not such a fan of the white line or needs to go to specsavers.

@game_film said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:

Not that far back surely. The one in SA when it was do or die time for Fozzie was the most compelling since then. Or any of the games vs Ireland. Most interesting Bledisloe for a long, long time though.

Yep
Thought we had to make significant changes after 2015.
2015 was clearly the last hurragh for that style of play; going back as far 1995.
Successive coaches have tried to stick with a style of play that has become more and more ineffective against the serious opposition. Kind of a boring and predictable watch.
The "aura" has just been slowly slipping, slipping, slipping . . .

Hansen was Henry II (which was ok), and Foster was just Henry III (which was not ok), and Robertson is starting to look like Henry IV (which is very much not ok!)
What we need now is something like Henry I !
When Henry came in after Mitchell he had carte blanche.
We've been needing some carte blanche since 2015, and we might get it tomorrow.
And if we lose, then we'll definitely get it.

Franks' world record is safe.

@ACT-Crusader given our DNA has always been heads up, click counter attack rugby and or dominant forward carry’s then everything about the numbers tells the story re tactics, player selection. The gloss is well and truely off this coaching team. Big weekend.
