Shane who? No 22 definitely wasn't Shane Wilcox if that is who you are meaning. I didn't recognise 22 as being AA, but if so he was very impressive and had great pace. David Feliuai also looked good and had a strong game earlier. Some good options at No 12 for the Brumbies, but I think I prefer to see Len Ikitau play there as he did for the Wallabies, and let the others including Creighton and Sapsford compete for the 13.
My kids met with him after the game got photo and signature that’s the only reason I know good kid well spoken
So even the Brumbies don't know the difference between them? OK. The Brumbies match report also attributed the try to Anderson. I'm almost certain he was then wearing the 22 jersey, but maybe I'm wrong?
My sincere apologies Hush hush. Watched the game again and Wilcox was definitely in Jersey 22. Anderson was in 27. Still no ID on the No 14?
Fuck it, go one better and make it a regular season game. Thought the ground was ace. Halfway between Sydney and Canberra. Great pubs and accomodation around.
The stands are a good call for the future if it's there but for the ticket prices I'm not sure how it's allocated, but if the locals get it and they are getting a good crowd then keep it. One of the times where the gate takings actually benefits grassroots.
Full country round would be excellent. Each side has to take a game to the community once every 2 seasons but there's a round a year. At least for the Aus sides they do represent states after all.
This pretty much happens already doesn't it? Across the whole competition it'd only be the Force and the tahs who haven't taken a regular season game to the country in recent years.
I reckon the Tahs have been prioritising getting members/ticketholders back to Allianz after those years of wandering around Sydney while the stadium was rebuilt. They did play some games in Newcastle over 2019 & 2020
Oh I don't mean it as a criticism, just that teams either already have a financial reason to do so (Reds, Chiefs, etc) or are already effectively in the 'country' as far as their catchment is concerned (Brumbies, Crusaders, etc). As much as it's nice to include the full regions the game is no where near healthy enough to be doing it in season without the financials stacking up. Taking trial games to the regions strikes a nice balance for mine.
