If the Bledislo Cup is Australian Rugby ? Why the h**l is it going to JAPAN?

Question

This is one time i think the selectors of the Bledislo Cup have

flipped their lid , if our Australian Rugby is soley Australian

then why the h**l are they sending it off shore to another country ??Fellow New South Welshmen & Women & Australian Rugby Supporters what say you to this outrage,why are they doing it ! And do any of you think that you have been betrayed if it goes overseas to another country.If i knew the website of the selectors i would voice my disgust on this matter,as this is one rugby union cup that should be played in Australia or New Zealand Only ,but not to JAPAN !!!! Thank you my fellow Aussies for your participation!!!!

Answer 1

Dude, chill out.

First, Hong Kong is about as close to Japan as a wallaby is to a wombat.

Second, New Zealand is calling the shots brother, you dumb Aussies mutton heads are just coming along for the ride.

Sit down and be quiet you're embarrassing the Southern Hemisphere.

Money is good - NZRU in debt - 2011 RWC to host - pretty simple equation.

Answer 2

Money money and more money.  i thougt it was going to hong kong?

Answer 3

in Asia Rugby is growing,what better way to promote Rugby than to have two of the best rugby nations in the world playing not just an exhibition game but a very important Bledisloe Cup game over in Japan.The AllBlacks will be soon playing a game in America also to give the game a boost over there.

By the way mate im not a fellow Aussie but a staunch Kiwi  who supports the AllBlacks and would like nothing better to beat you guys in every continent in the world.

Just watch it on sky or fox sports,we all are missing out but it could be a way to get more people in volved in the game...GO ALLBLACKS!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Mate its an extra game for the bledisloe and you would not get it any way if it were not played at all. I believe its a great promo for rugby in the Asian region. Give all the expats from NZ and Aus in Hong Kong a chance to see a great game of Rugby.

Answer 5

I agree that it should be played either in Australia or New Zealand; but it's Hong Kong where the 4th test will be played.    Yes there will be 4 Bledisloe tests this year.    Anything for money and s***w the Oz and Kiwi fans that like to attend these matches.

Answer 6

Its all simple mate, to globally pormote rugby.  If the Asian market grows in rugby then our playing jerseys get cheaper (only kidding).  Its all about promoting.  I've watched alot of the Asian Teams play and grow over the last few years and I think that they have a great future in the game.  They remind me of Argentina where they are not the biggest of teams but there hearts make up for the lack of body size.  This can only benefit our game.

Answer 7

um i thought it was in hong kong china?

and i think it so they both wont have a home game advantage neutral ground or promote the game over there...

Answer 8

The Bledisloe cup is not Australian Rugby. The All Blacks own that trophy. But I do aggree with you - why are they taking it away from the fans?

I reckon because NZ Aus and South Africa play each other so many times in one year (this year NZ will play Aus four times!!!) awsome games like the Bledisloe Cup have lost their appeal. We should play each other less so that the games we do play are more intense and there is more interest.
