Category 1 seats for the decider in Sydney next November have been priced at €1,950 or €1,196.

Ticket applications for all 52 matches from the pool stages and knockout rounds opened on Tuesday and will close on the 2nd of June, giving supporters a two-week window to ensure a stress-free experience and an equal chance of success.

The cheapest seats are priced at €24.55 for adults and €12.26 for children.

With 10 more pool matches in Adelaide and Newcastle offering standing tickets, these will cost around half the price of the seated tickets.

The tournament director Chris Stanley defended the pricing of the tickets for the final.

Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, he explained,

And finally for you today, a former Wallabies centre has appeared before a court in Brisbane over allegations he threatened to kill a man.

Ex-Reds and Stade Francais player Digby Yohani allegedly made the threat over a supposed land deal in Samoa involving his mother.

He represented himself in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday and claimed the man involved in the deal had agreed with the Prime Minister of Samoa to agree on a $100 million deal with Israel to bring over their army.

For me, Ioanni said, my mum is the rightful Queen of Samoa.

I'm just protecting her land.

Now, Ioanni's older brother Salah also spoke in court on Wednesday and said he had wanted the centre to undergo mental health checks due to head knocks he sustained over his career.

This apparently has not happened.

The prosecution had opposed Ioanni's bail, which he was applying for, over fears he would not behave appropriately if he was released.

Magistrate Anne Thacker adjourned the case until the 8th of June.
