“WHAT IS RUGBY360?

Fronted by former England centre Mike Tindall, Bath executive Stuart Hooper, Mark Spoors, an executive at Wasserman, a US sports marketing and talent management agency, and former LIV Golf lawyer John Loffhagen the breakaway competition aims to be a tier above club rugby.

The competition is set to include eight men's teams, and four women's teams to compete in a condensed season format, with the league to be played in 'grand prix' style events around the world.

The concept draws upon the Indian Premier League (IPL) and LIV Golf as sporting disruptors.

Already the league has reportedly received interest from backers across the Premier League, Formula One and the NFL.“

Wallaby try again at 28.02 .. Wallabies18-5

33.10 Wallabies 23-5

Kick the conversions will ya!

Half time Wallabies 23-17

They got robbed by that Frog referee.

Last Lions try should have been disallowed.

Bullshit -
the Aussies only made 3 points in the entire 2nd half - they were hopeless.

You wouldn't know shyte from clay.

The decision by referees not to penalise Jac Morgan for the high cleanout on Carlo Tizzano is what cost the Wallabies the series.

It doesn't matter what points they made in the 2nd half - they were defending the lead they won in the first half.

Morgan clearly hit into the head&neck of Tizzano.

I watched it carefully over 5 times -
there was no penalty contravention.
I agree with the ref.

Hitting high in the neck/head of an opposing player is a contravention of the clear out rules.

You wouldn't know shyte from clay.

The ref was in error.

Yeah right. Roll Eyes

He's a referee - not a QC.

Referees make errors - they're human.

I'd wager I'd know more than you though. Grin

Reply #34 - Jul 29^th, 2025 at 12:15pm Trust me I was very disappointed in the loss ( I have grown use to it) and I just don’t see a penalty in it. It’s a contact sport. We won the first half and lost the series. The Lions just wanted it more.

and gAyFL

are two codes that are built on emotional play and violence, more than rules.
Both are working class codes. One is just about Tackling, the other just about Running.

Rugby Union & Cricket are superior codes and more successful with Rugby Union bringing out the best in male behaviour and responsibility in Men, both on field and off field, compared to the others.
Cricket is popular with American Gridiron fans as both are very specialist, statistical and tactical.

Male Sport in Australia is primarily a Lefty Beta male culture.
They always tend to choke.

Garbage. No one would play any contact sport if that were the case. Players are paid good money & for most, as professional players - it's their only job.

And the game in question was actually Rugby Union not League.

As for Beta males how come Australian Rugby Union has been so lack lustre/in doldrums on the world stage for decades?

Yet Australian Rugby League & the NRL competition has led the world stage for decades? Wink

My mistake but that doesn’t alter the fact that criminal assault should be ignored just because it occurs during a sporting event.

Criminal assault? FFS Roll Eyes

Players get harsher penalties with suspensions & fines for illegal play than real criminals on the street get through the judicial system.

We have enough softcocks in the world.

That's easy. Because Australia is Alpha female/Beta male in its Leftism and 'Sport' is a Leftism thing along with Music, Maths, Medicine...
The Wallabies will always be the Beta males compared to the Alpha males of South Africa (Africa) & New Zealand (Oceania). South America is the other Beta male in Sport.
NRL's international success is against 'who'? A small bunch of countries rag tagged into holding up a Australian team that doesn't much exist beyond the importance of State of Origin and a Grand Final. NRL is a DUMB sport, each year, there's rule changes because they really have no idea.

Al sports have rule changes.

There are over 70 countries where RL is played.

There are 16 countries that compete Internationally in a World Cup.

There are 12 second tier member nations

& 12 unranked countries that play.

What sport did you ever play?
