Waratahs V Brumbies @ Homebush

[topo]

I have had a brain snap of Matt Dunning proportions. Early in the year I bought myself and the young family tickets to this. Now we actually have to go.

Any advice about taking a car? I can't imagine it will be too packed.

With a crowd of around 25-30k at best you should have no trouble parking. Cost you about $20 flat rate.

Parking is 20 bucks, there is about 30000 spaces so you won't have an issue.

That is a great name.

I played some junior rugby with a guy named Dash Swift. He played in the front row.

I once played against a guy whose last name was Killer........

The unfortunate thing is his father was a GP - Dr Killer. He worked in my GP's practice.

Trivia: he used to pack down in the second row for Grammar with Guy Shepherdson.

Can't wait to see what you do with Mann-Rae

"Maldives".

Visited that gem of a country many moons ago. Scuba diving holiday. Awesome diving, but strong currents were an issue in places.

Lots and lots of absolutely massive Manta Rays.


Bit simplistic but "Maldives" seems to be a good fit.

I'd be very surprised if it went over 20k

With about 5k of those coming up from South of Campbelltown?

Schadenfreude anyone?

Ticketek may need to update their blurb

The HSBC Waratahs have signed some of the world's most dynamic talent including Adam Ashley-Cooper, Sarel Pretorius and Rocky Elsom so the stage is set for a huge year of world-class rugby.

30% chance of rain as well ....

They always get bigger numbers out at Homebush. They'd be aiming for 25k I would think. Anything under 20 would be disastrous.

It looks like Ita Vaea can step up if Zack Holmes has another off night.......

You could always drive to a train station on the same line, and save the $20.

Would it be any faster, or much slower? Depends on how many drive and how many trains they run. It can take a long time to get out if lots drive, whilst the trains will be easy to get outbound with that amount of people going (especially as most will be coming from the city).

I'd probably do it if I was coming from woop-woop and wasn't scared of being rolled for my Nikes at Cambelltown. Unfortunately, I live in a civilised area. (Woosh! Cheap shot!)

Isn't public transport free if you have match tickets? If so, drive to Lidcombe, park in the street (for free) and catch the train to SOP.

foley must have read Austin's blog post and seen the video.

 

[vidiot]

Hart?

I hope he has been inducted into the leadership group.

What's the ceremony? A blindfold, a stick and lots of spinning?

everybody else in the team taking one step back...

 

[mudskipper]

Brumbies by 7...

 

[Roundawhile]

Brumbies by 12. Which will make next weeks game against the tahs so much harder...

 

[Knuckles]

Just on the Hart selection.................must admit I just didn't see that one coming. Begs the question, what has Pretorious done wrong? They signed this bloke as their international player for 2 years.......bet they pay him out to get rid of him. Reminds me of that ludicrous decision made by Chris Hickey in his first year to axe Steve Mafi and sign Heindrich 'Dud' Roodt from South Africa. Mafi was like 19 at the time and Hickey had decided he would never play Super Rugby. So he signed Dud sight unseen to a 2 year deal after the Dud had not played for 18 months.........the rest is history. Dud lasted 1 game. Mafi went on to star at Leicester, was named in the Aviva team of the year and represented his father's country of birth....Tonga.

Perhaps this second African signing will be in the same category as Dud...................

You'd be roughly my age then brave heart, I played against him at schoolboy rugby. Always loved the name, and I always thought him quick for a prop
