If it wasn't for the utter flat-out busy period that is the rugby season at amateur level, I'd consider a membership and getting along.
With the new Metro rail line in place being near my place, the ride is 2 trains + a tram almost right to the ground.

Good thing COVID has forced everyone to use EFT - changing cash at the border was the biggest hassle.

@nta With it due to be completed in July I wonder if Wallabies are looking to play a test match there next year.

The third Test against England next year is scheduled for the venue in July so let's hope project overruns are catered for in the schedule.

First thing - Sevens. Both mens and womens significantly weakened by lack of NZ and Fiji, it must be said. That, plus Samoa skipping the odd round, has allowed some invitational teams in which has been a plus.
Aussie girls have won 3 from 4 with one bronze - knocked out of the Malaga event in the SF by Russia. Belgium, Poland, and Portugal filling gaps.
Men have done reasonably well with 2 silvers to the Blitzbokke, who are basically unchallenged at this point. Corey Toole a standout. The other results have been QF exits. Jamaica and Germany invitational teams showing a bit of pluck - particularly the latter who have a lot of Irish and English accents

After beating the Ponies in a very wet Bowral last week, the Waratahs are holding a trial match this Saturday against a few of the Shute Shield clubs based outside The Golden Circle.
The venue is Eric Tweedale stadium just south of Parramatta, which is home to the Western Sydney Two Blues (Parramatta). Eric Tweedale is the oldest living Wallaby and played for the Two Blues back in the day.
Nice looking venue. Love the timber roof structure.

anyone watch the Aussie Survivor?

@machpants without reading the entire (paywalled) article, but I'm happy to support an incentive-based top-up system.
Not that I think they're going there out to lose, but some days you have to fucking question it, based on their decision making.

Weird not paywalled for me, or maybe there's a few free wach time period
The plan was to restore the Test fees to full amounts in 2022 but with RA still impacted heavily by COVID-19, players agreed to continue reduced rates this year but with a difference – Wallabies representatives will earn around $7500 per win and around $5000 per loss.

I think they're still using a system of free articles per month up to a limit.
Still a fair bit of cheddar for a loss.

@kiwimurph will be a good fullback option , after watching the first round ,none of the fullbacks really threw their hands up with the exception of the Reds fullback ,name escapes me.

Jock Campbell. Looks promising - right height and build. Decent boot and counterattack as well as defence. He's 26 now and probably hitting his straps.

Looks like he might have bulked up this offseason. He looked a bit frail in previous seasons.
