I know there's a few Bitcoin gambling sites that cover the six nations when it starts up, and I do believe the six nations is resuming later this year to complete the last tournament that was postponed around march time this year. The odds seem to be worse in comparison to some of the fiat gambling sites. Unfortunately, I can't get a complete list of these at the moment due to it being a seasonal event, and some of the ones that I believed to offer it are not showing it currently. If I'm not mistaken the dates have been confirmed, and they are somewhat soon.

Broncos coach Anthony Seibold steps down from role, says he will take online bullying matter to Queensland police

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-26/anthony-seibold-brisbane-broncos-coach-steps-down/12596078

By Tim Swanston Posted 5h hours ago, updated 2h hours ago

Embattled Broncos coach Anthony Seibold has stepped down immediately to spend more time with family, saying they have made "enormous sacrifices" for him.
Key points:

    The 45-year-old coach ends contract immediately after 2018 hire
    It comes a fortnight after online trolls published rumours about his personal life
    Seibold said he will be going to the police with names

Seibold officially cut short his five-year contract this morning after approaching chairman Karl Morris about his intentions last week.

The outgoing coach addressed the media this morning, after an "emotional" meeting with players.

"I get judged with what happens on the field, I take responsibility for that," he said.

"I thought it was best for the Broncos and myself that we separate.

"The final straw was hopping on a plane back from Sydney when I wanted to be with my daughter.

BUMP Friday night football, what's going to be the fall out from the Bronco's coach resigning after a disastrous first half of the season?

Reserved #4

Week 20  of the regular competition and the Brisbane Broncos went down 16 - 32 to the Townsville Cowboys.  The rest of the week-end will determine the remainder of the teams that go onto the finals begging next week.




Had anyone placed a wager for the Cowboys winning last night they paid $ 1.70 on the tab.com.au betting website.

Thanks to @aoluain for providing the information about the Guinness Six Nations Championship - it's always good to hear about Rugby Matches played in other parts of the world - I'll update the second and third posts with the information.

Please keep us updated on how the Comp progresses.

[Pmalek]

I used to follow the NRL when it was aired live on Premier Sports and eir Sports in the UK. Since they switched broadcaster to Sky Sports, I am having a harder time following the league. This is the first time I see a rugby thread here and I am glad there is one. I prefer league football over the rugby union. It's faster and doesn't get constantly interrupted by scrums and lineouts.

Throughout the years of occasionally following the NRL I started cheering for the North Queensland Cowboys mainly because of JT. What a champion. I still remember the finals, it must have been in 2016, maybe even earlier. His field goal won it for the Cowboys in extra time. He had the chance to finish the game from a conversion kick in the last seconds of regular time, but he hit the post. After just a few mins of extra time he kicked it through.

His interview after the game where he is crying and shaking was an unbelievable outburst of passion, love for the game, and the Queensland community.

Thanks for reminding me of an excellent game of NRL footy, a sport that deserves more press coverage in Europe.     

[aoluain]

@Timelord2067, yes i'll post some updates but hopefully there will be
a few more visitors to the thread.

I'm not too well up on Rugby League, It's not a big sport here in Ireland.
Ive seen a few games and I do like how it flows quicker that Union.

I watched 7's also, great game, tactically it seems very different to what
i'm used to watching.

Anyway, its nice there is a Rugby thread.

[Timelord2067]

I've always followed Rugby League (not the least of which because I grew up just streets away from Lang Park). When there was talk of a Super League in Australia they should have combined all League Clubs on the East Coast, played a knock out series and had divisions like they do in soccer which would have given more variety to the game instead of it still being a New South Wales centric "National" game.

[aoluain]

Is RL bigger than RU in Australia, I imagine they would have equal following?

It's true that RL is far more popular across Australia (especially on the East Coast here in Queensland and New South Wales).

In comparison, in New Zealand, the Kiwi's are bonkers for Union  over League.

So, when ever the Bledisloe Cup is on everyone in Australia barracks for Australia and Everyone in New Zealand barracks for New Zealand, regardless of which code is preferred.

Similarly, if the English/Welsh/Scott's/French are touring and playing either Oz or NZ, then EVERYONE in Oz/NZ barracks for Oz/NZ against the rest of the world. (In saying thst, whenever any of the Pacific Rugby Nations tour, loyalties are split if that makes sense).

[aoluain]

I forgive you Timelord2067 for omitting Ireland from your northern hemisphere touring list 

Yea I know the Kiwi's are mad for union, its their national sport after all and they have acheived
more than any other team

[Timelord2067]

Thank for your understanding... (I prefer pints of Kilkenny over the other brand myself)

Yea I know the Kiwi's are mad for union, its their national sport after all and they have acheived more than any other team

Yes, it's true we let the Kiwis win at Union so we can flog them at cricket. (True story that!)

 

[aoluain]

Well I can safely say none of the NH teams let the Kiwi's win at RU!
They are the team to beat, the benchmark, and its one of the toughest tests
in the Autumn Series of games.

[Pmalek]

Is RL bigger than RU in Australia, I imagine they would have equal following?

Australia has much more success in the Rugby League than in Rugby Union. Even when facing New Zealand, Australia are big favorites and have recorded probably 3 times more wins than New Zealand has. It's a complete other ball game when they face off in Rugby Union. New Zealand will probably win 8 or 9/10 with a full squad at their disposal.

[aoluain]

Its an interesting feature of Rugby, The quite different codes and how the popularity of those
differ from province to province, country to country.

Ahead of todays first round of games in The Six Nations I post an article from WhatHiFi.
I know most people will have their own setup for viewing sports online, others may not, hope it helps.

EDIT

First day's results register two away wins,  a comfortable win for France over Italy
and a shock defeat for England at the hands of Scotland.

Two enjoyable games, Great skill on display by France and man of the match Antoine Dupont.
Scotland brought a great game plan of "chaos" to Twickenham, England helping them
with too many penalties. Scotland take their 1st win at Twickenham in 38 years and on the
150th anniversary of the Calcutta Cup.

Highlights at least should make for good entertainment.

Italy     10 - 50     France

England     6 - 11     Scotland
