You'd imagine that single day tickets will go on sale at some point soon and will be quite reasonable all up.

Suppose if it is a sellout then so be it.
Cannot see that happening. Thought it would be an opportunity to market this hybrid game to the masses not just those rugby enthusiasts, who turn up with their hand in their pocket, all the time.
If the crowd is shit, so will be the competition and coverage

It's for the Sat and Sun but the looks and not a bad price when you think of all that quality entertainment.
I might wait for the day passes as that will suit better.
Want to be there to watch (fingers crossed) Quade in Red carving teams up.

Definitely western side. There is a roof but there will be a gap in the afternoon. If you're on either end, the western side would be better as well.
Was the previous email checking that the sun doesn't rise and set in a different direction to everywhere else in Brisbane?

What's the format? Same as the Rugby League World Cup?
Pools A & B play everybody in their own pool, C & D everybody in their own pool and one in the other one?
Good pool for the Rebels anyhow, from a competition POV, not necessarily a win the pool one.

The sun is an hour different up here.
Causes all sorts of havoc for the Transvaal Bulls when they visit due to concern over their cows milking schedule.
This is why the Reds have it all over the Bulls
Too be honest until we see actual teams, no one knows really.

- Ten players per team on field, with unlimited interchanges
- Ten minute halves, five minute half-time
- Knockout matches drawn after regulation are continued into extra time, in multiple five-minute periods
- All conversion attempts must be drop-kicked

Do we know if it's then first scorer, or does the game continue until one side is in front at the end of an extra period?

I hope they have a good medical team on standby if Umaga and Latham are lacing up the boots. If Toulon somehow meet the Reds in the draw Latham could be the victim of Nonu shooting out of the defensive line. I only see that going one way ....
