are any wallabies games on ch 9 ?
Champion @Jedi_Tiger, Channel 9 Sydney is showing the Wallabies first World Cup game against Georgia from 1.15am Saturday morning on free to air TV. ie it's on soon.
I'm thinking they're all going to be shown live, on free to air, as well as STAN streaming service.

Tell me you're not a rugby man without telling
me your not a rugby man haha. We're building
nicely. Next week V Fiji is the danger match.
Wales have been poor, Georgia could beat them
Fun game to play when i was young (50-60 years ago) but a total bore to watch but now it is even worse,it can be a game dominated by porkers and a goal kicker.If you think RL referees win you games you should see RU ones.

Bonus point win mate. Knock out comp rugby,
I think we'll do well to get through our pool on
top and knock England out in the QF. It's all about
peaking at the right time. Eddie has made a lot
of changes, and we're the youngest team in the
tournament. Regardless what happens, we have
a home British & Irish lions tour and home world
cup around the corner, just enjoying the ride mate
England played 1 man down most of the game.
Michael Cheika questioned over team tactics.
But as they say: "One for the purists."
(not my cup of tea...... )
Yep , agree . The rule changes after the olympics / Gregan/ Larkham , basically killed the sport as a spectacle .
Also the English winning games in the worst possible way , and being dominant in that style , also killed off any neutrals .
I also played it , and actually enjoyed playing it more than RL , but this new sport dominated by referees and a soccer player / fly half , yea not for me .
It’s basically the all blacks. ,-‘ inferior version in the wallabies , and everyone else . Only a purist would say all this is for the better .

We went from rucking a player if he was on the
wrong side of the ruck to red cards for accidental
head clashes. It is a bit dire, still love the game
Yep . Used to get up from rucks with stud marks all over me . . To me it all feels like rules designed to curb the all blacks .
As an Aussie male who had 3-4 real options as sports for winter , when you can get sent off because you lined someone up smashed them and your head accidentally hit thiers , how is that a selling point for boys with some mongrel to get out when , nrl , aussie rules , mma etc. offer better outlets for this aggression .
This may be a thing unique to Australia , but it won’t always be.

Hope Pascoe and Happy2t8yourmoney are listening. They probably train at Concord.
Penalty!
The home of bazball serves up 6 penalty goals and three field goals and still wins by 17 points. Yawn...
