    i mean...he is a traitor...he's literally gone away and then lead another team to victories over his home nation...which he's allowed to do of course....but thats the label

    Nope

    Under section 80.1 a person commits treason if he or she:

    causes the death or harm, resulting in death, imprisons or restrains the Sovereign, the heir apparent of the Sovereign, the consort of the Sovereign, the Governor-General or Prime Minister
    levies war, or does an act preparatory to levying war against the Commonwealth
    intentionally assists, by any means whatsoever, an enemy, at war with the Commonwealth
    intentionally assists, by 'any means whatever', another country or organisation that is 'engaged in armed hostilities' against the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
    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!

    First thing the wife asked when I was leaving home at 1030: "So is this the ongoing time commitment now?" 🙄

    Zero chance.

    @NTA well he did say don't put your trust in government. He might have had inside info on that sage advice.

    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.

    I would ask the same thing about Wales, but with a success rate as high as that he's clearly not got any Welsh heritage whatsoever

    From an ABs perspective, you'll have ABs with that team from November through April, with breaks in between, but without having other shit to do for domestic teams/Super rugby, and we can wear the fluffybunnies out before SRP comes around, rather than getting a bunch of tired-ass players.

    I don't love it but is is the best idea I've heard.
