The president of the World Rugby, Brett Robinson, said that the LNR Reece Walsh superstar could not begin to compare to one of the main light of the female union when he revealed a new agreement that is equivalent to the best news of the code for a decade.
Robinson spoke of the back of Brisbane Broncos by announcing that Channel Nine and Stan will inject a huge sum of money into sport thanks to their agreement to disseminate the world’s rugby games exclusively until 2029 – including the next three cups in the world.
“ For those of you by Brisbane, there is a small newspaper called The Courier-Mail that on weekends, a player from the Rugby League called Reece Walsh which had just launched a YouTube platform for itself and that it was nearly 500,000 subscribers ”, Robinson told Sydney on Monday.
“ I just want Reece to know that he was Maher, who plays for the US Eagles and Bristol Bears, has more than four million followers around the world (on Instagram).
“This demonstrates the scale of our game and the connection, especially with the women of our game.”
As part of the agreement, each Wallabies and Wallaroos match will be shown live and free on nine, the broadcaster and Stan also locking the female world cup this year in England, the 2027 male World Cup in Australia and the 2029 women’s tournament, which also takes place.

Two winners of several World Cups – The Legend of Wallabies, Tim Horan and the NRL star, transformed all the Great Blacks Sonny Bill Williams – were on site for the announcement, and both told Daily Mail Australia that they wanted to see the funds of the agreement used to invest in basic rugby and the tracks for young players.
Horan also described the news as the best thing he saw in the game in Australia for 10 years.
The big goal of the game at the moment, however, is the next series of Wallabies tests against the British and Irish lions, which begins next month.
Williams implored Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt, to choose and stick to a handkerchief for the duration of the three test series, while the choice of a n ° 10 continues to be the largest enigma of the Wallabies coach.
Horan believes that the apparent race in three between Noah Lolesio, Tom Lynagh and Ben Donaldson is so tight that he would be inclined to select the best goalkeeper of the trio.
Anyone who opts, Williams is categorical, the playmaker must receive the keys to execute the show for the whole series come what can so that the Wallabies win.
“We just need to choose someone and support them for the whole series and let them go shopping on the board,” said Williams.
“For me, I would probably go with Noah.

Williams was also happy to hear Schmidt say last week that the veteran James O’Connor, Australia n ° 10 in the 2013 series, is also being studied after having impressed for the Crusaders this season of Super Rugby Pacific.
“It would be nice to see him again in the mixture, just this old head so that players like Noah rely for their experience,” he said.
“Yeah, that’s what I would do.
“Probably Flyhalf’s position is the place where we don’t have a star,” said Horan.
“ Noah, the last two games have been really good, but Flyhalf’s position at the moment is so tight because everyone is so – Donaldson, Lynagh and Noah – that it could be summed up to who is the best Butkicker.
“This is my opinion because, for the moment, I think Donaldson is kicking 80%, Lynagh is 85, 86%.
“The goalkeeper for this first test game will be really important.”
