Re: Which form of rugby would you watch in order?
Union, League, Sevens. Agree with the comments about Sevens being boring. Fun to play, but not so much to watch, unless its a massive piss up event where the matches are just background distraction. Nobody in Adelaide has a clue what rugby is, let alone that there are two different versions, so no b...

Nope. Still scared about the state borders closing on a whim. Just sticking to South Australia.
Hoping for a big overseas holiday come end of the year/start of 2022. Fingers crossed.

When he's pissed off he is quite snarky on the microphone. Yeah, he acted quite the vagina a lot the last few years.
