‘He’s allowed to watch the Wallabies… as long as he PROMISES NOT TO YELL AT THE TV,’ the former TV host wrote, laying down the law, along with laughing emojis.
In the image shared to the social media platform, the back of Richard’s head can be seen as he watches the game in front of a roaring fire.
Fortunately for Richard, the Wallabies won the game – beating France 23 to 21 thanks to a last minute penalty.

The Lavender’s fun-filled evening comes after New Idea suggested the former Sunrise host is a frontrunner to compete on the next season of Dancing With The Stars.
A production source told the magazine Sam had made the producers’ ‘shortlist’ and that she would be ‘ratings gold’ for the program.
Sam’s potential return to TV comes after she stepped down as the co-host of breakfast show Sunrise in March.

She made the decision to leave the program after eight years in order to spend more time with her family.
Her departure from TV followed her intimate wedding to millionaire businessman Richard on New Year’s Eve.
The quaint ceremony was held at his Southern Highlands home and was attended by a small number of guests due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
