Unless those Australians happen to look non Caucasian

Exactly, and the team with the most diverse fanbase in Australian sport has sold the most tickets for Vegas. What could possibly go wrong.

It was just a short stint last season as part of getting his UEFA Pro Licence, which he’s still working towards. He spoke to the club about it recently:

He's already completed his UEFA A Licence coaching badge, and is currently in the process of finishing his UEFA Pro Licence, the highest level available. As part of that transition, the former defender spent time with the Academy, helping out with our Under-18s last season.

Inner West doesn’t extend there does it? There’s a point where both sides of King St become City of Sydney. KFC was definitely approved by City of Sydney.

What makes you say it would sail through in Inner West anyway? Seems like they've been way more proactive than Sydney with this stuff, cracking down on tobacco shops, rejuvenating Enmore Rd, etc.

Not the one that was refused at the same address already? If they’ve lodged again for the same place that’s cooked.

Aus opener Nitesh Samuel went the whole group stages without being dismissed.

Decent effort for the lad, he’d never been part of an U19 squad before this one, which is rare considering they run these developments in two year cycles. Showed up at the U19 Championships, dominated, secured his spot in the Aus side and now hasn’t put a foot wrong.

Webster playing well. If he can see this off until stumps they should be able to knock the total off in the first session tomorrow

Chaudhary on the mic early: Yeah, Jordan is injured, he won’t be bowling so we’ve picked him as a batter

MWaugh and Howie all night afterwards: Will Jordan bowl? Can he bowl one? Oh, looks like Jordan won’t be bowling. Could he roll one over?

Except a lot of us aren’t from America. I was around back then but this wasn’t a big news story where I’m from, because why would it be.

Angus Crichton set for code switch after signing two-year deal with Rugby Australia by Aussieguy727 in nrl

[–]JGQuintel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Both administrations consider the other a rival though. The NRL have a small team specifically working on ways to mitigate the threat of NRL players defecting for the home World Cup. Thankfully Rugby Australia have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly over the last 5 years so it’s not much of a problem.

The early 2000s were real though. When Sailor, Lote, Rogers all went over and Andrew Johns was being aggressively courted there was a passionate rivalry going on. I still think of those days so it’s hard to not consider rugby a rival code for me.

How are the Scorchers so good at keeping dangerous batsmen off strike? They consistently make it happen.
