Lucky enough to have covered plenty of brilliant rugby matches, but Saturday night at the MCG was right up there as an occasion. A true epic.

This is massive… especially for a place that now doesn’t even have a Super Rugby team anymore.
Melbourne will be a host city for the 2027 Rugby World Cup after the Victorian government made a last minute deal with World Rugby. Talks only resumed a few weeks ago. The Vic government did not bid for the final in this round of negotiations. Details on News Breakfast @abcsport

Now it’s official, discussing David Nucifora’s appointment on News Breakfast this morning. After months consulting for Rugby Australia last year, he takes that intel to the British and Irish Lions camp. Andy Farrell and the Lions, already heavy favourites, must be delighted.
Performance Staff Appointed ✍️ Head Coach Andy Farrell has appointed three key members of his backroom staff for the #Lions2025 Tour 🦁 A big welcome to Aled Walters, David Nucifora, and Vinny Hammond 🤝

A 10-time champion just got booed for retiring due to injury. His opponent had to plead with the crowd to stop that behaviour. Seriously, what is going on?! 🎾🎾🎾

David Warner called… AND texted 🏏 But it was all tongue in cheek… right?! 😂 Thanks to Andrew McDonald for taking time to chat to Kel, Gideon, Vince & I on #Offsiders on a rare weekend off 📺 @VinceRugari #cricket
Aussie cricket coach Andrew McDonald was on Offsiders today, and he said: 1. Konstas is still an option to open this summer. 👀 2. David Warner is not (although he did text to offer!) 😂 Watch Offsiders: ab.co/3Arg6xM
