FIRE UP WALLABY FANS!!!

[Badger]

I'll be in New York for game one. Still trying to find somewhere that is showing it live. Thankfully I will back home for the other two.

The Australian on 20 West 38 St (between 5th and 6th Ave) should be showing the Test live per their website and Facebook page. You might want to give them a call on 212 869 8601 to book a table as they appear to be quite popular.

You've lived up to your name Badger, by "ferreting" out that info. Can't be at the game but will keep an eye out for gold safari hats 'for sale' post tour!
BTW, do you resemble the animal: "short, fat body, with short legs for digging, with elongated weasel-like head and small ears"?!!

Sorry to disappoint Mr Doug, but I'd like to think I look nothing like an actual badger.

mark_s You should give the Madhatter Saloon a call, its the Leinster Supporters Club in Manhatten and may be open

Lot's of fans of both teams arriving at the airport. Best I have seen is a couple of teenagers in there full wallaby suits with jersey over top.

Mark..you need to find a bar that has "DirectTV" - they are the big paytv provider here in the states and own the rights to all the rugby - well the southern hemisphere stuff anyway. Most bars will have directtv - just make sure that they have CHANEL 490 - the rugby chanel. You want get it anywhere else other than on DirectTV.

That said, kick of West Coast US is 2.30am so that would be 5.30am East Coast time..not sure you will find too many bars open at that hour let alone anyone showing the game. Barney_s has a better chance here on the West Coast.

If anyone in the Seattle area wants to watch the game shoot me a message and come on over. Plenty of Bundy and Berocca in the cupbard!!

JS- Lived in Seattle for 5 years and saw that the Kangaroo and Kiwi has moved recently to Ballard. Will you be heading down there at all post match? I know Jimmy (?) would be likely showing all the tests live too.

My tickets are 4 rows from the front. So depending on where you're 'made' to work, if you see some bloke yelling out "SULLY!?" to anyone with a camera and a big, er... *cough*... lens, it's probably me! Come and say g'day, or if you want, just leave me be and keep watching me call every guy in a media shirt Sully. Your call.

Which section are you in?

A hint? I'm the guy in the avatar!

Ah now you're just wrecking all the fun! I figured as much but - that is a big lens you have there! I'll check my tickets when I get home and let you know. Not sure off the top of my head. In the cheap seats at one of the ends.

I'll also be doing the warm* up tomorrow night at Ballymore Scotty. Heading into the city early Saturday to make a day of it then head to Suncorp to watch the Wallabies belt the Lions! This is going to big. I'm talking bigger than Willie Skelton big. Fucking HUGE!!!

* Not that I think it will be too warm! Just checked the forecast. Top of 16 deg and raining tomorrow. Rug up for Ballymore I think!

Haven't been down there in a little while. Used to frequent the place when it was still on Aurora - we lived a little closer back then - stumbling distance so to speak. They aren't showing the game live as they are closed but are replaying it at 10am the next morning.

Is it ok if I'm pumped too? Even as a non-involved party I'll be at a walkabout pub in London to join in with some revelry. Should be a great atmosphere with a good mix of fans. May the best team win! (Though I'm slightly hoping it's the Wallabies)

 

[Set piece magic]

Guess what lads.

I bring news from the promised land.

Take your predictions to Wallabies by 50+, because the forecast has just changed to NO FUCKING RAIN ON SATURDAY YEE FUCKING HAAAAAA

 

[Ruggo]

I have been "fired up" since the first 26 in the squad were announced.

 

[Scoey]

Which section are you in?

310 Sully. So if you're down the southern end keep an ear out! ;-)

 

[Mr Doug]

My boss is 'making' me work during the game!

I'll be trying for the eastern touch line so I mightn't be able to get around there!

Guys, I'm an Italian Wallaby fan, and of course I live in Italy.

I love the Wallabies since I started playing rugby 14 years ago, when very few rugby matches were broadcasted here, and unfortunately not the 2001 Tour!
And if only I had been able, I would have wanted to attend to one of the tests, as I reckon is the greatest rugby fixture possible.
I would have attend and shouted myself to the Wallabes.

Whoever is going to be at Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney, please do it for me too!

Shout to them!

Shut the Lions fans up! Annihilate their mouth!


Go the Wallabies!

I'd just like to underline a beautiful sentiment from our Italian brother. I agree madflyhalf, ANNIHILATE THEIR MOUTHS!

God I'm psyched. I'm disowning any and all previous comments that might be construed as critical of Camp Wallabies. The boy are going to slaughter the sheep shagging soap dodging potato farming tightarses, and big Izzy Folau will lead the way!

 

[KevinO]

You know your all going to be seeing red,
You know your all going to be left red faced with embarrassment in the Wallabies performance.

So just think RED RED RED

Come on Lions

 

[Thommo]

I'm so pumped. Like, really bloody pumped.

That's got to be positive news and a relief for all of us Badger!

Good coverage tonight on Bris. Ch 10 and ABC TV news, plus a good segment on "7:30".
Sadly, so much of the commentary revolves around Israel Folau. He can't do much if the pigs and inside backs don't perform.

That's terrible! We qlders hate reds so much. We're fulltime Reds not sometime Reds
