Just got my tickets, smack bang in the middle of the Bill O'Reilly Stand. _woohoo_

Wish I was going. I think it'll be a great occasion. Will watch with interest on the idiot box.

Fingers crossed Sydney pull a great crowd for it!

Seen that the aussie jerseys are maroon and blue for the test. I think it is to do with the 100yrs season.

Yep. That's the colours they wore in their first international in 1908 I believe.

A hybrid jersey. *shudder*

I cringe every time someone mentions Luke Bailey in a rep team (or Jason Ryles for that matter). It' s a worry one dimensional Bailey is so highly rated, says a lot about the lack of quality depth in the front row Australia has at the moment.

Bailey is a very good club prop, but he's got nothing at rep level.

I agree with you Coxy but I couldn't think of anyone else, O'Meley has a long way to come back, I think Kite is poo, Price is injured, Cross is injured, Kafusi has a ways to come back, Mason is a bench player, Webb lol, Ryles lol... can't really think of anyone else.

Exactly. I wasn't bagging you at all, just an observation. I consider Luke Bailey a great barometer. If he's making rep teams we know the quality of the available front rowers club is poor.

This is going to be a massive Test Match and it will definitely sell out.

I'll be picking up tickets. And I love the special heritage Australian jersey.

If you go to the Bundaberg Rum website there is a special deal where you can get the jersey really cheap. icon_thumbs_u
