Nick P: Agreed, though I’ve always thought “watching” the rugger at College Lawn involves little to no actual rugby watching. Let’s not forget Melbourne’s huge islander population, they have and will...
Crosscoder: We are in fact discussing Russia Dave, not NZ not Uzbekistan.Of course you couldn’t give a toss about French rugby league,as your mob (or some of them) tried to kill it off).Pesky 13 a side code. And as you obviously...
