Is this place just got rugby folk??
i'd kinda put the farrell cap in the billy holland camp, he may not be want you want long term but reward a lad if he's been doing it for a while like

you gotta reward form even if its just ceremonial otherwise there is that "what's the point" feeling with players outside the circle

also hearing stories of folk having their life made very awkward for those who have raised their head above the parapet

representation is one thing, when its 75-80% of your most hated rival over a few years it has an effect
November 18, 2025 at 11:41 AM
exactly this. That's created as much of the backlash on him as anything Farrell has done
November 18, 2025 at 10:40 AM
Russell is a test starting lion. its a crazy comparison
November 18, 2025 at 10:14 AM
you know what you're not far wrong, some lads have to play well for 4 or 5 games and the call comes, Tom Farrell, a season and a bit for example.

what's the difference between
*Munster fans
and
Munster fans
?

its not even after farrell, its while he's here in 2yrs time
November 18, 2025 at 10:08 AM
probably someone you've met on your dog walks...

i'm not sure you can call it stolen you just leave an item abandoned on the street. If i left my wallet on a pub window cill on purpose can i call it stolen when its not there the following day? would the police tell me where to go and not be an idiot?

aye i get that, but its always the T2 sides that do the giving. i guess price range will be everything but will be v interesting how ticket sales go for these neutral venue games go where you don't have a massive immigrant population already there like u have in UK and Oz

if it ends up not being in Oz, its unlikely to be in Fiji either way

It looks like Australia will host Japan and Fiji for the first iteration, in neutral venues.

With the 3 week schedule a concession would have been required, and the lower ranked SH teams were more likely to take the hit than the condensed schedule. Money first, as ever.

to have 3 "home" games in Oz?
November 17, 2025 at 10:57 AM
i was in Sydney for that, only a few pubs were showing it and it was ticket only, $20, and all were sold out

Huw, you're sooo far down the list when it comes to unbearable smugness i'd imagine your version of it would be too polite to be noticed as smug!

If it happens it's Franco, reckon he'd have left GW if he wasn't on a promise
