Jack Della Maddalena won in the co main event in the UFC early hours.Not a great day for Australian sport. Running out of sporting codes to pretend not to like
This group is wide open now ..So Australia has to now beat Wales to have a chance ? Bonus points could come into it aswell so Fiji will need to get 5 points if possible in their remaining matchesWe got a moral victory though right? Cuz we actually lost, like Wales were meant to last week
Up the Wahs!We'll always have rugby league
Want some pepper with that salt?We'll always have rugby league and afl and the international clout those greatest ever sports provide.
Are you comparing the Fijian rugby team who are professionals playing in France, England, Japan, and Super Rugby and one of the better teams in the world (recently beat England at Twickenham, and should've beaten Wales) with the Namibian cricket team?Look, Namibia might be pretty good to watch play cricket atm and Aus aren't exactly at a high point in our history, but if we lost to them it would still be a national disgrace and rightly treated as such. This acceptance of mediocrity and a shrug of the shoulders at such a pathetic result is emblematic of a code happy enough with being cod ordinary in its private school cocoon. Oblivion awaits. Hopefully soon.
50/50Likelihood of us beating Wales?
Yeah, and when Aus lose to Bangladesh in a WC it's a disgrace as well and should be called out.Are you comparing the Fijian rugby team who are professionals playing in France, England, Japan, and Super Rugby and one of the better teams in the world (recently beat England at Twickenham, and should've beaten Wales) with the Namibian cricket team?
Fiji are the equivalent of Bangladesh, not Namibia and rugby in Oz is the 4th football code whereas cricket is big.
shady happy about it too, regrettably for the english crowdKind of ruins this great result knowing @Burgey is happy about it
Rugby isn’t well resourced in Australia at allYeah, and when Aus lose to Bangladesh in a WC it's a disgrace as well and should be called out.
Australian rugby players are professional sports people as well. The game is well resourced and should be doing better, but it doesn't for reasons which are well known. The sooner its put out of its misery here the better.
