Re: Why would anybody ever go to Dubai. The legal system is Medieval
Dubai certainly has many faults, particularly the labour. Once I had a short stay in an apartment overlooking a construction site with thousands of workers, and the conditions and dangers on the site were appalling (and seeing them scramble over each other at the end of the day to get onto a bus bac...

You've got things arse about face. The agreement to stage the first Bledisloe Cup game in Australia each season was done to help Australia and to (theoretically) keep the series alive for longer.

Do Wobs fans think it would be better to have the Bledisloe games later in the RC. I think it favours the ABs to play the away Bledisloe game as the first game as the ABs are such a well drilled squad and the Wallabies tends to grow through the tournament I really think the ARU shot themselves in t...
