Was/is their a Ben Kimber involved with the Green and Gold rugby site and if so, is it the same person that is now the CEO of Stan Sport?
He was not involved, no.
Cheers, for some reason I had that name in my head.

I have to agree. The reputational damage and embarrassment should be enough.

Shame!!

instigates a person who is not an Australian citizen to make an armed invasion of the Commonwealth or a Territory of the Commonwealth,maybe the last one? all members of the squad have arms and entered the country
....his saving grace might be both have the same sovereign...bloody loopholes

My "Aussie Rugby" story from last weekend: refereed a Third Grade game in the morning on an oval with a turf cricket square in the middle. Absolute muck there, and dead grass everywhere else.
Played most of 2 Grades in the afternoon, on a track that was slightly better (no turf square, green grass mostly). Started at First Grade hooker which I don't think I've done before.
2 throws not straight and back spams from launching the ball over their only jumper to 4, 5, and occasionally 6. Must be roughly 80% hit rate.
Needed a Powerade urgently just after halftime as the cramps started to hit my calves. Lesson learned: I'm too old
Tomorrow we just got official word that we're good to go, despite a bit of moisture underfoot. Only light showers between now and kick off so reckon we'll have a bit of fun

@NTA Mate always laughed about 30 years back in the mighty Nua, the main rugby ground had a cricket pitch in middle. and councils answer to it ripping up, put a fine gravel in it, not too many players were keen to go down in middle of park!!
And love the fact you reffing AND playing, I doff my cap sire!

You eligible for NZ?
Zero chance.

@NTA well he did say don't put your trust in government. He might have had inside info on that sage advice.
Wouldn't trust him with the collection tray at church.,..

Maybe I have missed it, but I haven't seen Charlie Gamble show up with the Wallabies or their A team. Is he injured? I thought he would have least been in the A squad.

@Crazy-Horse not eligible until next year I believe.
