@Bovidae Yep couple on debut five or six others that had played a handful of games at most and a couple of grizzled veterans that were past it.
Six I think never played for the AB's again after that tour. Lam being the "standout".
Couple of things I remember from that game, Darren Junee who ended up playing league scoring a hatrick for Sydney and Marc Ellis playing centre...
@NTA might be able to confirm but I think Junee came back to play club rugby after his stint with the Roosters.

Earlier game time this weekend.
Kick off at 5pm Sydney time/7pm NZ time.
That's another thing i like about it - no late night for this old bloke 😉
But that's just after 3am in Buenos Aires...

@KiwiMurph nice, might turn the tv around and watch whilst sitting in the sun!

I believe you're right. A few have done that for a bit of a trot with mates or an old club.
Note for those referencing "Western Sydney" - Bankwest Stadium in North Parramatta is only 7km west of ANZ as the crow flies.
ANZ is 15km west of the CBD. To the Rugby People in Sydney, both stadiums are "West". As fuck.

We also haven't had an update on Jordan. But if he failed his HIA he won't be available for selection in this game.
Given his history they should be extra cautious. He shouldn't play again until Super Rugby
Apparently the Super season he missed wasn't concussion, but some sort of inner ear problem.

Just be thankful they don't play Rugby in Alice Springs.
They do
Central Australian Rugby Union
Central Australian Rugby Union. 687 likes · 1 talking about this. CARU was established in 1986. Games are played at ANZAC Oval on Saturday afternoon 5:30pm and 7:00pm.
Ute-mounted scrum machine FTW!
And in Darwin but only at night and only during dry season I think.

@broughie surely the AB coaches plus strength and conditioning guys do some sort of testing to see how fast players are, or do we not have that sort of testing in NZ yet?
-
@taniwharugby Yes I assume they do and they probably take into account the position played. However they weren’t quick on the uptake on NMS when he came back from his injury. They have their favorites just sayin.

Anyone in Sydney going along? I'm considering getting a cheap seat just for the spectacle.
Got offered 2 x freebies from work, I could even have swung you an invite given your industry, but I have prior engagement 😡

Tell me about it. Accepted invite before I knew the tix were available. Still, prior engagement is a BBQ at a rugby-mad saffas house, so there will be rugby, beer and boerwurst for Africa available. Not so bad.

It's ok, nobody there is fussed. It's just a friendly.

Live aid is so much different these days.
My temp gauge is showing 35 outside, might be time to crank the aircon soon. Fucken summer is upon us.
