And I gave up caring about Wallabies and Super Rugby like another 5 years before that

Wallabies haven't won the Bledisloe since 2002 lol

Last time I watched them was the 2003 WC final.

Well that was quite an entertaining game at Twickers today.

I've just watched the highlights, actually disappointed I missed a wallabies game for the first time in a long while

That was a little odd tbh. He was good, no doubt but there were at least 3 of the Wallabies forwards I'd have given MOTM to before him.

I suspect a little PR move there. Having said that I didn't watch the game.

Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh said the target of Australia becoming the number one rugby nation in the world by 2029 is not unrealistic, after the release of a new five-year strategy paper containing a range of ambitious goals that includes winning the Bledisloe Cup every second year.

Win Bledisloe every two years: Rugby Australia sets out bold five-year goals

A new strategy paper through to 2029 released by RA includes some lofty ambitions.

I've always been of the belief that had our game never existed in the first place that goal would've always been a reality to begin with.

Maybe they could come up with some sort of sharing arrangement.

But seriously if you haven’t won it in 22 years maybe just start with one per decade?

I know this cup is only a 2 horse race but given how long it’s been since they’ve won it this isn’t far off the Tigers saying they will be top 4 every 2nd year from now on.

Suaali has got me back into rugby. He is killing it. I dont know if his best position is fullback or centre as he has been a phenom in both.

Good test for him today at 12

Does he look like he is playing a superior sport to the rest of them?

Google tells me there are 428 contracted players to the union comp. Good to know one of them is entertaining.

I honestly couldn’t name 427 of them.
