"The Optus Stadium in Perth holds a capacity crowd of a little more than 60,000, all of which was sold out for the third and final Bledisloe Test on August 28"

"But Australian organisers are working to postpone the August 28 fixture in Perth by just one week, with New Zealand risking a A$5million (£2.6m) bill if they fail to show up again.

That’s the fee West Australia’s government would reportedly want to recoup after paying Rugby Australia the same sum for the rights to host the fixture."

Jasper Wiese avoided a ban for his ruck clear out towards the end of Aus v SA II, used the Barrett defence "I didn't mean it" i.e. no intent.

At least he lasted longer than Dweba!

The Saffers seem to love a few early changes.

Interesting conclusion to the Bledisloe match!

That big Wallaby lummox should have been sent off for going for the knee like that in the first half.

Entertaining Thursday rugby, he has been cited and will need the really good biscuits. Vermeulen not in Boks 23 away in Argentina this week.

So Swain gets six weeks - the same as ROG has got in France for giving an official a piece of his mind.

Pathetic.

Quinn Tupaea got about 6-9 months…..

In reality only 3 weeks, misses New Zealand, Scotland and France tests. 3 weeks soaked up by a convenient Aussie A tour to Japan....

At minimum should be banned till Super Rugby 2023 starts.
