I do find it funny they mention his NZ mother player for the Oz women's team - it should be enough that he was born and raised there without the need to add that Oz poached his Mum.

Also, I'd take TKB in a heartbeat for the ABs, especially over the Ginga.

it would be huge for rugby in general but especially in aus if the wallabies could snatch the cup leading into 2027, they need to do EVERYTHING they can to win

[gt12]

Given the draw and their capability to put out a dangerous 23, I’d not be surprised to see Oz in the final.

They’d likely get a very tired team from the other side.

Ideal opportunity for Eddie.

Injuries will be crucial for them.

Australia reveal a "New" jersey for the world cup.

[Kiwiwomble]

in fairness...have we seen much more variation with AB's jerseys?

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Yep, and there's not much variation possible if you want the main colour to stay the same.

You'll almost certainly come back to something that's been tried before.

@mikedogz I feel like I've seen this movie before

@antipodean I'm guessing that none will play in the forwards.

That's hugely misleading.

He's signing as a short term medical joker during RWC and has already re-signed with Brumbies/Aus rugby for future seasons.

@KiwiMurph
That really is a shit headline then.

It's RugbyPass.

Which hints what everyone should do with it: pass.

[Kiwiwomble]

@NTA i got annoyed with them last week when they had a big headline about freddie burns being "released" from the Highlanders as part of their big cull....no, he signed for one season and was probably already out of the country when he was included in the list of everyone not returning next year
