New neighbour has just moved in, Michael Hooper. My office overlooks his backyard. The wife is looking at setting up a webcam, as he tends to get changed to surf in the backyard.

Big backyard

Big money player

@taniwharugby if the haka doesn't scare him my pasty white fish belly will!

I am spending an inordinate amount of time walking around the backyard in my All Blacks Jersey

There goes my Kayo subscription.

Cancelled mine before the summer break. Had intended to resubscribe for the Test season

Fox Sports to pull pin on Rugby Australia - reports

Rugby Australia is looking for a new broadcasting partner with Fox Sports reportedly pulling the pin on their deal at the end of 2020.

It doesn't help that Fox is struggling to remain relevant in the TV space, with pressure from Netflix, Disney + & Kayo eating into their subscriber base, and recently HBO registering a trademark in Oz for future straming services. Bye bye content = less money to spend = RA getting the arse

A new coach is going to need to make some investment in young players and sacrifice short term results

@Rembrandt I hope you are aware of the fact that the curtain raiser starts at 10.00am AEST? And the test at 12.35pm AEST?

That's great new for me, as I'm eating hot wings in Dee Why at the normal kick off time of 5.30pm!

Jeebus, I'm considering retirement as no.1 at this point in the season. This cannot be sustained!
