Some say he needs a haircut, and that he is actually an engineer in disguise... All we know is, he's called THE NIK!

@BMcSport Other option is that they're a world cup jersey sponsor for all teams

(I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to asics - dont mind their gear!)

@BMcSport Saw this on Instagram earlier today. Lets just hope this is an AI generated image and it picked random logos haha

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@ChalynRugby Had the same thought live, but the pass is never guaranteed either. Imagine if he passed it with the line open, and Jorgo dropped it - we'd be in an uproar over that

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

Sorry, not sorry, for waking the house up #RSAvAUS @wallabies

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@BMcSport The good ol super sport special that one! Glad it improved over the half

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@seanny202 @wallabies Yeah, you're right mate! I swear when I wrote this the big screens at the game showed it as 22-14 not 22-12 (where the drawn half came from in the OP... 2nd half Syd), my bad.

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

By my count, @wallabies have won 3 halves this series and drawn 1... just a shame we couldn't hold on last week @seanny202 #AUSvLIO #BTP

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@MrGrumpy97 @OBBY001 @MorganTurinui @RuggaMatrix @benkimber I swear BTP used to do this back in the early season(s), but definitely could be getting confused with the Rugby Ruckus.

Definitely well welcomed and would love to see Morgs jump back in and deliver it :)

@NutOz80553 Id almost be looking at 4 Frost, 5 Skelton, 19 LSL, 20 Williams.

Between Frost & LSL (and I swear Williams played a bit there for the Force too) you can cover 6. And 8 cover is already there between Bobby V & Wilson. Yeah you loose Langi, but the tradeoffs are worth it IMO

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@OBBY001 It's $150 for the lowest category. 12 years ago, it cost me $60ish for the same seats.

The Bledisloe has only fractionally gone up over that timeframe too, so the cost of living has nothing to do with it.

As others have said, those seats at Stadium Aus just aren't worth it

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@ShaZ___01 @seanny202 @wallabies This isn't a bad shout! I'd be down for an extra long Between Two Posts. Cmon Producer Trav, let the boys disect this amazing win 😍

@alexche27770612 @HuwTindall @rugby_wrap Saw in the Quins newsletter a few months ago that Aus A v Eng A at the Stoop is confirmed. Forget dates though

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

Early in the second half, Pablo jumped into a tackle too and got himself in all sorts of weird angles.

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

Thought Marika was hard done by on the KO after Los Pumas first try. Pablo was on the ground and wasnt until he saw him to start making the tackle that he jumps up. Surely that's jumping into the contact and Wallabies penalty? Wasn't an isolated incident either - #ARGvAUS

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@OBBY001 The Spring tour will have us in good stead, I've seen advertisements for a Aus A game during that tour at The Stoop, so assume they will be a few more as well. Slowly building depth and giving blokes game time

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@OBBY001 So only 1 place lower than when he started? And we're playing/just played teams all ranked above us for the rest of the year?

Think we need to curb expectations a little bit. Change takes time afterall. But that doesn't sell papers haha

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

Just saw this announced in the Quins newsletter.

Looking like a return to the old style touring squad for the Spring Tour. Hopefully a few more Aussie A matches to be announced in the future 😊

Have we seen anything on this from RA? Or am I just behind & this isnt news haha

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@bado_west @OBBY001 @BrumbiesRugby I'm pretty sure I read earlier in the year that the Brumbies have no room on their roster.

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@RugbyReg Lets just hope it's not as wet... I'm still not dry from that game haha

[Nik Sharpe @NikSharpe]

@OBBY001 @Hugh_96 This would be the case, but you can't publicly say that in case you have to backflip and select them later in the year due to injuries, form, etc.

That would be my guess
