@Hugh_96 The injuries are a real blow in such a short season but there is still a lot of talent in the Waratahs. Great opportunity for some of the younger players to step up.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 So was losing Lori for the Reds.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@drift_node037 @Hugh_96 they are now ranked 7th and the US has moved to 6th

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 Agree about Halse.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 The earliest the wallaroos can expect to start v USA is 11pm their time (2pm here).
Imagine starting to play at 11pm🤦‍♀️
It’s a shame because it was a sold out game.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 Good reading Hugh.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 I agree. She was treated pretty poorly by the Reds last year. Interesting to see what happens this year.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 77000 attendance for England v Ireland in England
0 for Australia v Canada in the US
Interesting statistics.

@Hugh_96 @OBBY001 Wet AND cold apparently.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 …so maybe it’s a good thing (I’m making assumptions here) that you aren’t heading to the US for the Pacific Four games the Wallaroos are playing against Canada and USA 😉

@eveforamerica Tragic waste of a life!

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 Hypocrisy at its best ( or worst)

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 @rugbycomau I’m sure RA will continue to keep their head in the sand until sometime in late 2028.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 @kinson88 @googharrison @iainpayten @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos That’s what I like to do as well - unfortunately there are some very thin skins around🤷‍♀️

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 @kinson88 @googharrison @iainpayten @StanSportAU @StanSportRugby @wwos I got in trouble for saying this was the case @Hugh_96 My understanding was it was difficult for players to sign overseas contracts when RA hadn’t made it clear what their plans were for 2025 + there was no timetable for SuperW and no contracts but it wasn’t an official ban.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 @Rob_McKay @BbAus20 @SVNSSeries @WorldRugby I think you reflect the general feelings Hugh- it’s dying. If it wasn’t for the Olympics (and the funding that results in) it would be gone.
I really enjoy it but don’t think it deserves the money at the expense of the more inclusive game.

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@OBBY001 @Hugh_96 @ChristypDoran Wouldn’t that be nice🤦‍♀️

[rowan shaw @frankideas]

@Hugh_96 Formidable team!
