Foxtel threatens to cut ties with rugby union
Senior Foxtel sources confirmed the pay TV giant had withdrawn its offer for the five-year rights to the code as Optus expresses its interest.

I'll dump Kayo if that's the case. Only got it for the rugby.

Same. I hope if it does go to Optus they get NPC as well, otherwise I guess I'm investing a VPN and Rugby Pass.

deadset, if Foxtel lose the rugby i'll shitcan it, and watch free-to-air AFL and NRL only. Fuck adding another subscription service.
The Sky/Foxtel business model only works if you are getting the content. Now, there are 46 different streaming services, and they all have shit you want to watch. It's a fucking rort. Suck my balls.

Oh that really blows, I loved watching all the Rugby I needed on Kayo. Foxtel has been bleeding cash for awhile now, maybe they are trying to reign in the costs.
I am surprised there hasn't been one giant streaming service that offers everything and they have a pay per play model like spotify. As it stands it is getting ridiculous with all the services on offer.

Optus looking most likely from what i heard, not good for Foxtel though. Optus already have EPL and possibly didnt get as many people taking it up as they expected, however if they get the rugby then thats starting to form a pretty good combo in this market.

Good luck to Rennie the Roo, you'll need it to de-cheika-ize that bunch!

Looks like a big bugger eh, anyone seen stats?
Outrage as 11-year-old boy is told he is too big to play in New South Wales sevens tournament
The Sydney Junior Rugby Union has defended its decision to prevent an 11-year-old boy from competing in a sevens tournament in New South Wales due to his size.

Tough one - particularly if communication has been attempted but failed for any reason.
If he's really that big for his age, then his parents and coaches should also have sought advice. How are the other parents supposed to feel if this big unit is out there, monstering their kids?
It's U12 FFS...

I played with and against Dai Young - Wales & BI Lions prop - from U11 .
He was twice the size of me at that age.
Taught me how to tackle properly.

No luck needed.
Just be better than the bloke before.
Not exactly a high bar.
