Beiträge, die mit Wallabies getaggt sind


From CourierMail (so I won't link) via discord (where I got screenshots from). The British & Irish Lions tour of Australia is looking to be the biggest Lions series of all time. Most tickets sold. #Wallabies #BIL #BILTour

I've got my tickets for Waratahs, AUNZInvitational, and Wallabies v BIL.
The Wallabies' stunning resurgence has led to a surge of ticket sales that will see more than half a million people attend British & Irish Lions tour games next year, making it the biggest Lions series of all time.

When Australia was knocked out of the pool stages of the World Cup last year, many questioned whether the Lions should tour here at all, but after two rousing victories on their spring tour there is belief the Wallabies can challenge the might of the four nations.

Tickets for the three Test matches are in low supply, with Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium already sold out, the Melbourne Cricket ground expected to sell out by Tuesday, and Sydney's Accor Stadium predicted to sell out by the end of the week.
A third and final release of tickets will happen next May, but that will only be for tickets that have been returned.

The three Test matches and tour games against Super Rugby and invitational sides will now draw unprecedented live crowds throughout Australia, with 40,000 overseas tourists expected to arrive for the event.


So, this happened this morning.

#AlanJones, for those not in the know, was one of #Australia’s most powerful #media figures, a key ally of #conservative, #RightWing politicians, and in his prime held tremendous sway over public opinion. He was also a #RugbyUnion coach, working at a series of private boys’ schools and for the national team, the #Wallabies.

Screenshot from a Sydney Morning Herald article dated November 18, 2024: “Alan Jones arrested over allegations he indecently assaulted young men,” by Kate McClymont.

The first two paragraphs read:

“Alan Jones has been arrested at his luxury Circular Quay apartment by NSW Police over allegations the controversial broadcaster and former Wallabies coach indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched multiple young men.

“For the past nine months, detectives from Strike Force Bonnefin, run by the State Crime Command's child abuse squad, have been conducting a top-secret investigation into Jones.”

A picture of Jones follows, showing him walking with the aid of a cane behind a parked BMW sedan. Caption: “Alan Jones, pictured in Sydney in May, has been arrested at his Circular Quay apartment. SAM MOOY”


So the AustraliaXV v Bristol match isn't being streamed despite being heavily promoted.
