Once upon a time, a test rugby game at an Australian venue used to be handled like a profile international sporting event. Host stadiums would present their arenas like no other sport was on the immediate schedule. The prominence of the AFL line markings on the MCG playing surface when that venue hosted the 2023 Bledisloe Cup game suggested that the locals had a view that while the international rugby event MIGHT be important, they still had the Round 20 AFL local derby between Richmond and Melbourne to get away the next day. If Victoria was really serious about securing the right to host the RWC 2027 Final (and with a 100k capacity stadium, they’d have to be a very real chance), would you not think they’d at least make an effort to give an impression that they cared about it?
