Tahs v Blues in May has been moved from SFS to Brookvale (where Manly league play) due to A League final.

So now the game is being played in a part of town that is awful for most of Sydney to access in a woeful suburban ground - all grandstand seats allocated to members so its overpriced embankment for the rest.

@kiwimurph

North Sydney oval would have been a better choice

My mate lives above Brookvale, so it'll be a decent day out for me, he'll cook up a BBQ, wander down and watch the game.

At least it wasn't moved to Homebush.

What has become of the Concord Oval where they played Tests for a while? My memory seems to recall it did not have floodlights so that would probably rule it out nowadays.

BUlls beat the Stormers, 33-23

@stargazer Mitch Hunt's got a bit of dramatic flair!

[Stargazer]

Haven't seen the first 35 minutes of the first half, but the half time score says it all:

Sunwolves 17 - Waratahs 38

The Sunwolves don't belong in this competition.

[Duluth]

Little had a 70m individual break to set up a try. Should be in the Blues squad..

[Steven Harris]

@duluth Little has been great value for the Sunwolves,just a shame every time they have made a mistake,they have been punished,
Agree with your coms about not being in the Blues.

[Stargazer]

Geez, the Reds just got robbed. Ref rules knock-on by Reds player, but it was slapped backwards by Pockock. Try should have been awarded. Brumbies lead 24 - 18 with 20 minutes to go.

[antipodean]

Ben O'Keefe has fucked the Reds hard core in this game.

FT: Brumbies 45 - 21 Reds

Oh so the Bulls just downed the Sharks 40-10.

[taniwharugby]

@bones haha wtf....a result surely die hard Bulls fans didn't even see coming?

[Bones]

@taniwharugby I think the sharks didn't even score in the second half. And were out of the game before half time.

[African Monkey]

The only time the Sharks have performed this year is against NZ teams.
