    Best Place (Pub/Bar) to Watch S15 Rugby in Brisbane?

    I watched last weeks game at the Pineapple hotel in Kangaroo Point. One of the rare pubs that will have the sound on in my experience, expensive drinks & food though & a bit of a concrete & metal tomb like feel to the joint. I watched a game at the old Dooley's hotel a couple of years ago, ditto...

    Christchurch must retain World Cup fixtures

    Just going for two & a half weeks at the start of the tournament, taking in 4 games, unfortunately the only Wallabies game will be v Italy. I'm mostly taking it as an opportunity to catch up with some old traveling buddies and having a holiday whilst soaking up the W.C. atmosphere. Campervan &...

    Christchurch must retain World Cup fixtures

    Ah, fair enough wj, I never looked into those. I'm lucky enough to be staying with friends & we got a campervan for the rest of the time to keep costs minimal. I looked at a few hotels just to compare and the ones I looked at weren't too outrageous in their rates. But packages could indeed be...

    Christchurch must retain World Cup fixtures

    I think thats a bit of a myth. From what I can see flight prices are no different & accommodation hikes are minimal at best, besides, show me a city/country that doesn't have a price hike for big events. I, for one cannot wait to go!

    Christchurch must retain World Cup fixtures

    Well I have tickets to the first 2 pool games & I bought them because it's in New Zealand where I plan on taking an extended holiday from there & taking in another couple of games & catching up with old friends. Move it over here & there goes the holiday! I hope it can still be held in Chch...

    Well, that goes without saying Groucho.

    Crusaders & the situation in Christchurch.

    Fair enough guys, I stand corrected on Nelson, sounds like a logical choice to play their games there until the good city of Christchurch gets back on its feet.

    Waratahs v Reds Match Thread

    Well, his little grubber through for Chambers to spill certainly was, I also really liked his restarts, put a lot of pressure on the Force. Meh, he was just warming up. ;-)

    Cooper doesn't need weak links in a defensive line to weave his magic.

    Crusaders & the situation in Christchurch.

    Queenstown & Nelson are not in the Canterbury shire. If they were to move games to out lying areas you'd think they would be in the Canterbury Crusader area at least.

    Reds 2011

    After a phone call & a bit of a whinge & request for a refund on my membership, the good people at the Reds have decided to give the discount on tickets at the gate. Good on them for listening to their members and having the flexibility to change a new policy. :yay

    Waratahs v Reds Match Thread

    I'm sorry, but I don't see whats inflammatory about that statement at all. I wasn't playing at any particular poster & have seen much worse written in this site. What about the bloke who hopes a player is taken out for the season? Thats hardly sportman like..I could go on but whatever.

    Waratahs v Reds Match Thread

    Irony? I think most people were saying that it would be closer than last years game..... and they still won didn't they?

    Waratahs v Reds Match Thread

    I hope the Waratahs are as cocky as their fans, they'll be in for a big surprise. Beating an ad hoc new team by a large margin in the first game of the year could be the worst thing that could happen for NSW. I'll be grinning from ear to ear if the Reds finally put things back to rights. ;-)...

    Reds 2011

    I go to the games for that, if I am paying for a membership I want something in return. This is a new policy, in previous years you got a discount at the gate, and was not mentioned in any of the literature on being a member. Bad form all round.

    Reds 2011

    My word Tangawizi. I bought a $50 forever red membership this year, as I can only get along to a handful of games, with the understanding that I could get discounted tickets. When I go to buy my ticket I'm told that the discount is only available if I buy it before game day! Funny thing is I...
