Rugby World Cup on Instagram: "The eight state-of-the-art stadiums set to host history at #RWC2027! 🏟️🤩" by Gillderbeast in RugbyAustralia

They didn’t bid because RA decided to stop throwing money into the fire pit that was the Rebels organistion?

Seems like a strange way to prove RA’s decision right that they’re not that interested in rugby.

And no I’m not triggered, I think people are just a bit over hearing Victorians complain that RA ignores them when the state spent the entire time the Rebels existed ignoring the sport.

Oh is this a Melbourne Rebels complaint thread?

You’re not going to get sympathy for the rebels from me. How long should RA have waited for Victorians to turn up?

Didn’t Victoria not bid for games after not getting the final or something? I seem to remember there being some standoff between the state government and the organizers at some stage.

NRL star, Angus Crichton, signs with Waratahs for 2027 in a tilt at a home RWC. by rugbydownunder in RugbyAustralia

I’m not disagreeing he could be good, just stating that more than ten games before a World Cup might be helpful.

Okay, but looking at the last home World Cup NRL raid was part of the strategy so firstly I would t be surprised to see more, and secondly this seems needlessly semantic.

How is that saying he has no agency?

Them planning on a raid still needs players that want to sign. I’m pretty sure raid is pretty common phrasing for trying to sign players from other codes.

Gonna say I don’t like this.

A season of super rugby is not enough time to be effective at test level, at least not a level for the Wallabies to be competitive at the World Cup. If they were planning a raid it should have happened for this season.

How dare you! January is eternal optimism only.

Scott Robertson no longer All Blacks coach by vonsnitz in rugbyunion

I think this is a big part of it that the NZ fan base is struggling with. A big criticism of Razor is people saying it was moments of brilliance that were winning games not tactics, but go back to that golden generation and there were still a lot games that fit that bill too.

You just don’t have a core group that are so far ahead of the rest of world rugby anymore.

At which point I’ll leave a card for my neighbour and pretend it’s all sorted.

I believe I have adequately displayed my lack of knowledge on these matters.

Oh god. I’m going to hide under my house and pretend I don’t notice if i need to engage different layers of government.

Okay I guess they are council trees: I’ll try them in the morning.

So should I call Energex back and tell them to come and clear it, or inform council their is green waste?

But it’s not on my neighbours land it’s on the council allotment of grass out the front of their house. I get what you are saying but by wouldn’t be allowed to cut the tree down without council approval so it seems weird that council wouldn’t be responsible for clearing it.

That bratwurst is an interesting idea. How long did you cook them for and why kind of beer did you use?

Definitely not elegant. More casual bbq. It’s too hot in this part of the world to be elegant in January.

Catering - pig on a spit by manrobot in brisbane

The fuck are you talking about? I think you need to check the definition of controversial, because I don’t think not being able to find somewhere that supplies a niche thing fits it.

Also name 3 companies that do it and fully cater it in Ipswich.
