Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

[Brumby Runner]

^^^^^ Anyone know what Walks has been doing since his retirement? Is he likely to be anywhere near fit?

One of the biggest and best boots in the game when at his top, as well as being a very elusive runner.

In 2013 he was still playing bush league and last year was helping train some of the Lloyd McDermott sides

Jeez. He started playing first grade club rugby at 17. What a career.

Hoping for a bit of this again, but probably at about half the pace..

 

[RebelYell]

So with Latham at the Reds, Larkham & Walker at the Brums & Tuqiri at the Waratahs, I wonder who the Rebels & Force will pick.

For the Rebels I was thinking perhaps Mark Gerrard, Julian Huxley or Stirling Mortlock even (but I bet we'll end up with somebody like Adam Freier!) and no idea for the Force.

And will the overseas teams have an oldtimer as well?

Gregan for Toulon? McCaw for Crusaders?

Please don't make it into a farce.

The other sides can provide all the old star power they want.

If we're getting a ring in, I'd much prefer grabbing one of the Sevens boys that are in Sydney the week before.

Personally I would love to see a team of teenagers take it out.


Australian teenagers, of course.

 

[fatprop]

These sides are making this thing a joke, do they get purple shorts?

 

[TOCC]

Auckland 9s did they same thing, they are there for publicity mostly.. keep your purple pants on

 

[southsider]

Jeez lighten up a bit, not the end of the world if a few former greats come out of retirement for a bit of a run

 

[Set piece magic]

Not offended at all by the picking of some classic players. In a launch year for an event like this you need big names to create a bit of hype. the ticket sales have unfortunately been slow judging by a couple of ticketek samples i took, where all of the tickets available are still in tier 1.

It may be a disappointment to hardcore fans but news that latham/larkham will play (5 minutes probably) gets the event out there and makes news outlets give it a bit of time.

Anyway, if they get desperate they can just roll out campese and get him to talk shit for 5 minutes, that'll sell the rest of the tix

 

[MrTimms]

I'm going.

Not going to bang on about cheapening the event by including some promotional names, just going to put my money where my mouth is.

Hi noob

 

[Braveheart81]

Welcome to the forum MrTimms. Glad to hear you're going to the 10s.

 

[MrTimms]

I thought you might like to know. Glad I can be of assistance.

 

[TheBigDog]

Anyone else think it's a bit disappointing they aren't offering large sections of the stadium as general admission (choose any seat in your section type thing)?

It seems to work better at these types of events in my opinion, allowing larger groups of friends to sit together. I thought it worked very well at the Gold Coast 7s and i'm guessing we'll be looking at a similar atmosphere for this event.

 

[RugbyReg]

I'm disappointed you can't get single day tickets - just dual day tickets.

 

[Jets]

I have tickets in the Heineken Hill, take two, cost a bit more but I'll get a great bucket hat.

I thought a GA seating would be good, if there are empty seats I'll be looking to migrate closer to the halfway line.
