Yes. Frankly I'd be surprised if we lose another game in my lifetime. We're at the start of a golden era which will be spoken of for centuries to come.

"Ah what? Another World Cup?!! Just throw it on the pile with the rest, cobber...."

@nta Knowing Aussie rugby fans, it would be closer to "Yes, we won our 13th straight cup, and I suppose that is a positive, but our lineout was a shambles and things fell to pieces when the bench came on once we got up by 40. If coach Quade Cooper doesn't fix those up I just can't see us holding on to the Bledisloe for the 53rd straight year."

@barbarian 🤔 so... Basically Kiwis?

so, i had the morning news on and they had the weather guy out doing his thing from some brand new pavilion/stand in west sydney, they specifically talked about how it was mainly for a Rugby Union club (although they hope to use it for lots of sports)
they had the representative of the club come on to give a we plug and was asked about Rugby UNION in west sydney.....his reply...."yeah, Unions really big and we expect a lot of interest after THE PANTHERS won the final the other week"
...his go too example of something that would drive up interest IS FROM ANOTHER SPORT!..not the wallabies beating the bokke twice....not a new super rugby comp.....this is whats broken in aussie rugby

Ah, that makes me sad. Real shame, but have to look after the noggin first. Hope he's OK longer term

Interesting stat
Over the course of ENG's 8-0 winning run O.Farrell has scored 150 points vs wallabies 151. Farrell's points alone would have won ENG 5 of the 8. Ninety six of OF's points have come from penalty goals. Ongoing indiscipline is killing us. When will we learn
-
@machpants it is discipline but it is on the back of territory and possession to England. Simple game - piggyback it down field and use your retention to set up for goal kicks.
If we reduce the Wallabies' handling errors by 50% on Saturday they stand a very good chance to win the game, and reducing the penalty count against.

Anyway, the good news story out of Australia Rugby this week: I managed to secure $50K in grants to buy our club some seating.
We're not a large club, and really this grant was pure speculation on my part. We weren't contributing anything to it. We didn't get DA because we sort of didn't need it, and in a couple of months we'll take delivery of two of these beauties:
Elite Portable Grandstand
Our latest grandstand innovation for premium spectator seating.with raised height, superior views and outstanding portability. Shop now!
Pretty fucking happy Club Secretary right here.

That's awesome. Can't wait to hear about the shenanigans that the lads get up to underneath those
