@Peter_Fitz Great column as always, but something seems a bit off today. The Cook Cup was replaced by the Ella-Mobbs trophy a few years back, and Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Portugal if I’m not mistaken?

@OBBY001 @balumbah They’ve played plenty of bledisloe games there before and it hasn’t been an issue. 5-5:30pm kickoff in Perth should work for everyone

[Rusty Shackleford @rustyduffler]

@Sambruce86 Good listen. I believe it’s just the Ireland/Japan game that has been shifted to Aus as it’s in week 2. France/Italy can more easily play in Japan on their way to/from home

@HitchikersPie @mar2vickers @T2Rugby Yeah agreed. England’s travel schedule is even tougher

[Rusty Shackleford @rustyduffler]

@mar2vickers @T2Rugby Italy and France are playing in Japan on the way to/from Australia and NZ, so not quite the same. Ireland is the only team that would’ve had to go up and back. Not saying it’s right, but will happily go and watch the game in Newcastle. And yes the crowd will be 99% Irish expats

[Rusty Shackleford @rustyduffler]

@munchiecity @Hugh_96 Ireland didn’t want to fly from Sydney to Tokyo and then back to NZ

@ChristypDoran Nations Cup? We haven’t been relegated out of the Nations Championship already have we?

[Rusty Shackleford @rustyduffler]

@kinson88 @iainpayten Any word on a venue for the Japan v Ireland RNC match which is supposedly being played in Aus in July?

[NSW Waratahs @NSWWaratahs]

First win in nine at GIO

[Rusty Shackleford @rustyduffler]

@SteveMascord Fair enough. It doesn’t take much to set it off as you know

[Squidge Rugby @SquidgeRugby]

International rugby has never been better than it is right now. Bloody hell.

[Chalyn.Rugby @ChalynRugby]

France still the best in the NH!! They win the greatest Six Nations ever. What a match!!

And I’ll say it again. the game we love ? It is at its absolute peak now.

Wow 🤯

@SteveMascord @Nue222 @Bingbongbo10475 Exactly the kind of intellectual heavyweights you would expect to attract with a post such as the one above Stevo
