@NJHartlad @ChristypDoran Haha

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@NJHartlad @ChristypDoran Not completely true mate, England has a long history of capping players who wouldn’t be considered “home grown”

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@EvdncSports @patmccarry There is no such thing in rugby champ

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@steve_l15 @KeirAndo Yeah, I was hoping Stan would pick up all the European leagues but unfortunately you have to go "looking" for the games

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@RugbyReg @steve_l15 @KeirAndo That would have been a sight!

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@steve_l15 @KeirAndo Leinster have been using it for 10 years

I don't know, I reckon that pretty much does it for me, how can anyone follow this sport anymore #AUSvNZ

@willgkelleher @Stu_Farmer @rpetty80 @OptaJonny Eddie Jones has 6

@LeinsterPAGuy The ref was only prepared to yellow card the hair pull after the tmo spotted the headbutt. He gave Hill a talking to about the hair pull just before the tmo got involved

@Qantas I booked an international flight with Qantas. One of the legs are with @JetstarAirways. Jetstar are saying that Qantas have under payed them by $0.89. They won’t let me pay the difference. I now can’t checking in for my flight (about 12 hours time)

@RugbyReg @drew_mitchell The colour regulation doesn’t come into effect for a year or so. This was a money grab. https://t.co/mL3qqOql4o

Gordon is so slow at the ruck. Really taking the zip out of the attack #AUSvFRA

@MarkRing10 Sorry Ringo, I’m in Australia and must have a different feed. We have Cave on co comms

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@gurusculler @RugbyReg Yeah, me too! I actually played on the Sunday morning in the kids games as a curtain raiser. Got to do the parade around the pitch too!

@GarethTheHop @simonrug Ok, understand that but still feel asking Australia to pick up the financial slack isn’t really fair when they have offered a solution (not a perfect solution by far). I think you will find a lions test vs SA would attract double the attendance of Aus v France. Ex pats are exited

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@GarethTheHop @simonrug I accept your logic on sharing the pain, my challenge to that would be why must it only be shared amongst SA, Aus and NZ. Im not big for tit for tat but I also remember SA cutting Aus/NZ out of a TV deal a few years ago by over valuing Currie cup. Plus other actions

[Big Paddy @Big_Paddy]

@GarethTheHop @simonrug Then Australia miss out on a massive chunk of revenue through having no travelling fans they will have in 4 years time. Not really an option for Australian rugby financially
