'Future of Rugby' Announcement in Sydney today

[Bruce Ross]

With Gregory's Street Directory going out of print, wj, have you given any thought to publishing an alternative directory of Sydney where all the reference points are pubs? It looks as if you might be able to put it together from memory.

U will have to come with us next year Bruce. We managed a 15 pub crawl from the rocks this year but ran out of time and had to cab it in the end. I'm sure your involvement could definitely raise the conversation a little.

I would be happy to come down from Brisbane for the Reds game first up next year if there was such a pub crawl on offer.

I hereby grant my proxy to Cat_A for next year year's pub crawl. The last thing I need in my dotage is to end up at the SFS, slumped in my seat, snoring intermittently, with my mouth in fly-catching mode, surrounded by people talking with their mouths full of marbles.

Mercifully I have long forgotten how much fun being shit-faced and incoherent at the rugby can be.

I haven't been shitfaced at the Rugby for days now! The memories are starting to fade.

I'd be honoured Bruce. I won't let you down!

Perhaps it could be a State of Origin type fixture with each state nominating a champion to represent them. I have no knowledge of your form, Cat_A, but I'd be inclined to back waratahjesus against you. My only hesitation is that I suspect he might have a sly roadie on the way out of each pub, thereby severely handicapping his performance in the final stages of the event.

With the amount of knowledge you have of my tactics Bruce is it alright if I start calling you "Poppa Yoda"?

Perth has locked in a test match deal as well.

Alternate South Africa then Argentina tri nations matches for the next three years.

Looks like Melbourne is going to be getting just touring matches and no tri nations for at least 3 years.
