This thread should be exclusive for those who want to hear only positive things about other codes.

First up, RA have amended "Giteau's Law" to allow two internationally based players who haven't had 60 caps / 7 seasons of service....

Optus Sport have launched a new women's football TV show hosted by former Matildas star Alicia Ferguson Cook.

Ferguson Cook will host the show, titled 'Women's Football Oz Style' every matchweek to focus on the Matildas playing in the English Women's Super League.
It's a groundbreaking moment for women's football in Australia, with the FAWSL focus due to Optus Sport's coverage only of English football, and not the W-League.

Disappointing this thread has not had a lot more traffic from certain posters. A thread that explicitly prohibits negative links to other sports is what some have been whining for for so long.

I love how in rugby union the international game is the highest goal to aspire toward and Internationals are seen as the most important and most popular matches.

TBh I genuinely love most of the football codes, footy is obvs my absolute favourite but I'm very big soccer and rugby union fan.
I like to watch a good game of rugby league and gaelic footy too, and heck I can even enjoy playoff american/canadian football games.

Don't think any afl match has got near to wallabies this year. BringBackTorps won't report this
