After the New Zealand Rugby Football Union confirmed his appointment through to the 2023 RWC in France, Ian Fuzzy Foster fired a warning shot to some of the older All Blacks like Dane Coles – saying, “We’ve got some younger players who’ve put their hand up and there might be a few more coming in.”
In the NRL – ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys has confirmed Sydney’s Accor Stadium is the venue for the NRL Grand Final 2022 and not beyond, so the future of the event remains undecided. V’landys said that they may look to a NFL Super Bowl arrangement where the final venue moves every year.
And the Penrith Panthers won the NRL Minor Premiership 2022 after they pipped Souths at the post last night.
