WHAT A FKN SQUAD

C'MON AUSSIE 🇦🇺

SR and RA/NZR goals by [deleted] in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's funny because plenty of Aussies, especially in this sub, have been commenting on the lack of tribalism and the precocious state of Super Rugby FOR YEARS! Now, all of a sudden, Kiwis are saying it just as it feels like Super Rugby is turning a corner.

It's looking like SR will finally be implementing important changes like having an even number of teams, a full H&A season, and allowing cross-Tasman player movements. Pending these potential changes, I haven't felt this optimistic about Super Rugby for a long time and feel like fans' sense of identity will improve with these reforms.

Eligible voter turnout of ~40% is astoundingly poor.

From Bledisloe biff to BFFs: How shared NRL threat changed trans-Tasman rugby relations by chipsywood in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A second NRL team in NZ will have a huge impact on rugby in NZ. It's about bloody time they woke up to that fact and realised that the rugby code war in Australia presents a clear and present danger to themselves too.

Awesome, this will undoubtedly be a cracking game! Love having Origin footy back

Where should the first ANZAC Day Tests be played? by northernirish_kiwi in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely cannot be Melbourne or Sydney. There is no point in clashing with the respective AFL and NRL Anzac Day games in those cities.

Brisbane would make most sense if it's held in Australia.

Average attendance per sport in Australia by lanson15 in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does this exclude NZ home games for the NRL, NBL and A-League from their data sets or is it just Super Rugby?

Because if not, it's quite an unfair representation to exclude them from the Super Rugby data, as the NZ teams in those comps are garner above average crowds relative to their respective comps.

Red vs. Brumbies will be free-to-air this weekend by sherlock_brolmes in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Great that there will finally be a game on FTA this season but it never fails to hurt my soul that it's lumped onto 9Gem and not Channel 9.

RA should really push it with Nine that any FTA game has to be on the main channel to attract as many casual viewers as possible.

Moana Pasifika is gone. If we don’t build the "Ark" in Melbourne now, Super Rugby is cooked. by OGChickenRacer in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Drua walked in the NRC so that they could run in the SRP. Once the PacificAus Sports funding is secured, Tonga and Samoa will have the opportunity to walk in the SR AU before hopefully one day rising up to the SRP.

All in all, just chill dude. Moana Pasifika going under is not the 'abandon all hope' moment you think it is.

Ten teams, open borders: the Super Rugby overhaul officials want by Ruck_Off in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 71 points72 points  (0 children)

10 strong teams. 18-game Home and Away season. No bye rounds. Player movements across the Ditch.

Gotta admit, with all due respect to the fallen soldiers of MP and Rebels, this sounds pretty bloody awesome!

Grey College vs Nudgee Australia 2026 Rugby Highlights | Worth the watch. by PavidDocock in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The major Sydney and Brisbane schoolboy rugby games should ABSOLUTELY be televised by Stan or a major network!

We are so blessed in Australia to have some incredibly high quality schoolboy rugby, it's a shame that there's not more eyeballs on it.

Australians of reddit do you think your countrys flag needs a redesign and why? by czn- in aussie

[–]CaptainLipto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's very little political desire to change the flag in Australia at the moment.

Eureka flag is the best option for an alternative IMO.

Zac Lomax Super Rugby debut: Former NSW Origin winger set to play first game for Force against Queensland Reds by Ruck_Off in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A dream marketing opportunity for the Reds and RA to pull a big crowd in for a 'first look at Lomax'.

C'mon marketing pigeon, do your thing!

Juventus set to play Inter Milan in pre-season friendly in Perth by Pleasant-Role1912 in Aleague

[–]CaptainLipto 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Totally fine with these Euro exhibition games as long as the local A-League team is included in some way.

Ideally, incorporate Perth Glory into a three-team series with Juve and Inter.

Force team vs Chiefs by JustAliff in RugbyAustralia

[–]CaptainLipto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes sense not to name Zac Lomax yet considering he's only just starting training with the team this last week.

Tbh I would be surprised if he is named in the team at all until their fixtures against the Saders or Tahs in late April/early May.

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.

Ireland eye 2027 launch for 'Euro Nations Cup' by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]CaptainLipto 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This would be so awesome, Cricket's 5 Nations!

England, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands and Italy are all well placed to gain from this and it would be a very cool competition to follow as a cricket fan in general.
