@kinson88 @iainpayten @StanSportRugby @StanSportAU @SMHsport @wwos What impact, if any, will the Saudi PIF pulling out of LIV have on the R360 comp? Are they looking to reduce the funding of sporting events/ comps?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @iainpayten If the Wallabies are only picking three players from overseas who are you selecting? With the likes of Skelton, Hooper, Lolesio, Marky Mark, Gleeson, Rodda overseas do you think more than 3 will make it?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @iainpayten Canberra finally getting a test in 27' but why has the stadium been ignored for so long, what is the likelihood that it gets a renovation or a new facility is built elsewhere?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @iainpayten Nothing seems to have come of the threats of legal action by the Melbourne Rebels consortium, is that dead in the water or still going on in the background? What's happening with Aus Gov funding for Pacific Island rugby and when is it expected to flow through to the Unions?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @iainpayten No tests in Melbourne this year, no RWC game at the MCG. Is enough being done to support union in Vic? Hard to support the code if you can't watch the side and feels odd to not see a game there after the MCG crowd for the Lions series

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @googharrison @iainpayten @StanSportRugby @StanSportAU @wwos Will the Nations Championship involve promotion/ relegation in the future and if so how will it work with the hemisphere structure? Eg if Japan gets relegated and Georgia promoted what happens?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

We have been awful but still in it. High balls and lineout killing us, get Frost and AK on at half time. At least we are showing a bit more intent in attack, space out wide #IREvAUS @wallabies

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@BMcSport @HuwTindall Schmidt said in the presser he was back running this week and involved in sessions but still a bit underdone for what he expects to be a very fast game. Will be good to go for Perth

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @googharrison @tomdecent @StanSportRugby @StanSportAU @wwos Sanzaar has limited the amount of video clips
@SquidgeRugby is allowed to use during analysis videos. Why are the administrators restricting access for content creators who assist with growing the game? Seems an unnecessary step when social media can bring more eyes to the game

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @Fanga9 @tomdecent @StanSportRugby With no Wallabies game this weekend will or should fringe squad players be released for round 2 of Super Aus? Feels like a good opportunity for guys like Tiz, Flook, Nasser etc to get more mins in the legs. Will the games be put on F2A given they are on Youtube, promotes it more?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @iainpayten @googharrison @StanSportRugby @StanSportAU For the Super Aus competition what is the flexibility for Wallabies squad players to be released for games, particularly those on the fringe like a Flook, Edmed, Stewart?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @StanSportAU @googharrison @tomdecent Is there anything the Wallabies have done tactically different that Cheik puts the resurgence down to? And how would he try replicate the impact Skelton has had with the other players available when Will returns to France?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

It has been a privilege to watch the greatest @wallabies win of all time #RSAvAUS

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @tomdecent @StanSportRugby @wwos @Fanga9 With the relaxation of the eligibility rules what will that mean for the availability of overseas players or those heading abroad shortly for the rest of the year?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

Seen enough. Take LSL and Tups off at half time and get them into the Wallabies 23. Killing it #FNPvBIL @wallabies

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

Bringing RV, Skelton, Gleeson, LSL and Tups back into the Wallabies 23 with this kind of aggressive defensive line, the Lions would hate it #FNPvBIL

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @googharrison @iainpayten @wallabies @StanSportRugby Player of the super rugby season shouts for the Aussie teams? Think it is a toss up between Hooper and RV for me. Moment of the season as well? Teddy Wilson try or JOC after the siren hard to go past

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@rugby_podcast If Wilson isn't skipper then it should be AAA. Gordon should be coming off at the 50min mark for Tate anyway. Never understand why Wilson keeps getting screwed around for Wallabies, if this is an indication he's not starting 🙄

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos @SuperRugby Any more details on the Super AU comp? Sounds like confirmed for Sept but when will it be confirmed, what's the format, how many weeks will it run? Who will coach the Reds when it is on 👀

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @googharrison @TimHoran12 @tomdecent @StanSportRugby And when are they hoping to announce the Anzac squad for Lions?

[Hamish Cole @HamishCole4]

@kinson88 @googharrison @TimHoran12 @tomdecent @StanSportRugby Ireland pulling out of the 7s circuit very soon after the announcement of the new tournament schedule. How concerned should we be about the future of 7s and what options were available to World Rugby other than a tiered system to make the sport viable?
