    I'm done supporting Australia rugby while it fails to implement change

    Don't you have Stan so you can watch the proper rugby, the NPC? 😉

    @NTA said in Aussie Rugby:

    Rugby Australia has floated a "Wallabies First Lions Edition" membership worth $1899.00* for what looks like the opportunity to be first in the queue for tickets, and special events:

    What is the Wallabies First Lions Edition Membership Program?
    The Wallabies First Lions Edition Membership is an exclusive opportunity for passionate fans of the Australian Wallabies Rugby Team. As a member, you'll enjoy a host of exceptional benefits including priority access to tickets for the highly anticipated 2025 Lions Tour. Stay immersed in the Wallabies' journey with regular news updates, exclusive experiences, and discounts on official merchandise. Holders of this prestigious Wallabies First membership also gain access to additional exclusive free and paid offers, elevating your experience even further. This membership will expire once the 2025 Lions Tour has been completed.

    So, to be crystal clear, this doesn't include ANY tickets.

    It includes access to tickets and stuff-to-be-released-later.

    *I added the decimal and zeroes to make sure nobody thinks that is a typo. The reference is to the First Lions Tour of 1899 I guess...

    😂 This is $1899 for the opportunity to buy a ticket plus “other benefits to enhance your experience”

    This is what you call a rort.

    I could spend that money on an escort in a red and white striped bikini and have a better time with her.

    I not that overly surprised etc with the $1899 thing, it's for those that have the $s to afford it so I don't see anything wrong. To be honet if I lived in Aus and was a Wallaby supporter (and had the money) I would buy one.

    Wallabies could badly use BPA. Would easily walk into Wallabies starting side.

    Got to wonder how they let him leave.

    I think porecki is a good hooker but uelese is not good enough to be second string

    Jake Gordon will not play for Toulon as RWC joker. He suffered a concussion when playing for Australia A against Tonga and recovery is expected to take 4 to 8 weeks, which means he cannot start the preparation for the Top 14 season with Toulon. They'll now look for another player, who is available immediately.

    Yep, but market it aimed at probably not a problem. I have seen on Aussie forums a few rubishing them with prices etc, but hey, you can still but normal Wallabu gear, and admit if I was a Wallaby supporter with a few extra $s , I might look at some of the stuff.

    yeah...even i am struggling with that, i can get behind spending a fortune on some RM Williams because they last forever even if used all the time...but you're never going to use that to actually play.....so.....
