Rugby Union

[Red88_Tiger]

Im a very casual observer of Rugby. Pretty much only watch the Wallabies and even then, only on the odd occassion.
That said, theres always been star power in their sides to the extent I feel I could name half the side on sight. This list contains less than 6 names that I recognise. Are they all young?

I can see 5
I rarely watch these days though
Rules have changed since I played so don’t really feel adept following it anymore

Champion @Tucker - there's always the young ones, but the sad truth is rugby union no longer captures its audience.
Only rusted on fans might suggest they know all the players, their clubs etc where, where back in the day, we all knew the national team.
And I'm a bit gone another way, I really prefer the grassroots, like West Harbour in the grade comp etc.

It wasnt too long ago that the squad was stacked with household names....maybe it was long ago lol.

I recognise 3 names.

I guess a bit late now, but I wonder if we looked at signing any of the Melbourne Rebels players?

I was only last week referencing just before Covid only to be reminded it wasn’t last year 😂

One from one for our new coach. Good start but a long way to go.
Almost 36,000 at Allianz shows Oz Rugby still has a pulse !
On to Bleak City for Game 2, might even head out myself.

It's great to see one of West Harbour's own, Allan Alaalatoa, captaining the Wallabies again!
Go well Allan Alaalatoa!

Australia's record loss to Argentina has cost them in the rankings, falling to ninth - below Italy!
Such a disgrace!!
