I might have watched it if they had it on at a reasonable hour.

Good luck with ratings.

I'll be up at 6:30am with baby anyway :P

If we are going to have an indigenous team, why not have have a tri series between non-indigenous Australia, indigenous Australia and Ireland?

[Holz]

lets hope the Australians dont act like idiots again and further disgrace the code. We need to remember that for the Irish they are ametuers and all have other jobs. Unlike AFL players if they get injured they dont get paid and are just doing it for the love of the game.

they dont have tackliong in their game so why there is a need to be rougher than in the AFL i will never know. If you do something stupid in this game you should get suspended in the NAB or something. The worry is it will stop people playing but you cant just go there and hit someone and cop a small fine.

Totally agree, but the Irish also need to pull their heads in and stop the niggly stuff as well as their habit of kicking opponents

The Aussie squad has a few players who can be volatile. Hope on field leadership is up to it.
