    You you think we can get 5000 to the hill?
    The ARU are the custodians of the game here in Australia, they are supposed to promote the game, grow the game.

    Instead they have stabbed one of their own Unions in the back. Sold out to allow the Sunwolves to compete in the Australian conference. In fact in recent weeks it has begun to look like they have actively sought out ways to shaft the Rugby population of WA.

    Just because a court is potentially going to tell the ARU to act in the best interests of the game doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly think they're awesome. The ARU is banking on the anger over here eventually subsiding.

    This saga is a stain on the game that will last for decades to come that could have been avoided had the ARU used it's veto power to act in the interests of all of Australia Rugby. Not just the established club scene in Sydney and Brisbane who in my opinion for a set up that has been around for over 100 years has very little right to continue to cry poor.

    I was going to say I will never go to a Wallabies Test, but who knows, my anger may subside in the coming years. Not bloody likely at the moment though.

    well said Jargs.

    I'm hoping that i'll be a bit less pissed off come 2035 for the Lions series. Whether the Force get reinstated or not, at this point in time i can't see myself going to another wallabies game before then unless we play the USA over here, and if that happens i'll be wearing a USA jersey anyway.

    Adam Coleman and Meeksey have gone on FB requesting we wear Blue to the game..our Force boys need our support and to see a Sea of Blue would be awesome.. In my very humble opinion I think it will show the world (or whoever is watching the game) that we are not to underestimated in our fight!! .

    I'm not so sure about that. Two mates are flying from CT for the test and asked me yesterday to get them 2 tickets. I couldn't get two side by side seats in a Platinum block yesterday and had to settle for 2 Gold seats instead.

    It looks like a lot of SAs are coming to this test. Besides the 2 from the Cape, there's a bunch of people who I work with heading this way next week (they bought their tickets in RSA), including half the mine planning departments from a couple of coal mines in Witbank (oops, sorry - that should be "Emalahleni" ).

    I think I'm with Hansie on this one.
    While I don't want to financially help the ARU, I do want to show those Sydney centric snobs in St Leonards that they cannot and will not kill off the sport of rugby union in Western Australia, in spite of their obfuscations, distortions, half-truths and complete lack of common decency towards the government and people of Western Australia. So I hope that I see a sell-out crowd at nib, wearing either blue or green, with not a single yellow beanie or scarf to be seen anywhere.

    The majority of those seats I mentioned came up in the gold area not the platinum. Easy way to find out for yourself type in 10 tickets and see what comes up.

    Those gold seats are $100 plus.

    Certainly reckon someone at RugbyWA should be thinking of pacing blue placards on the seats for people to hold up during the game. Either that or have someone hand them out outside the ground on match day. If it's raining, hand out free blue ponchos.

    For those going, just been told the Corner Post will be open at the match. You will need to bring your Force membership to get in.

    And it's a Force membership per person going in, isn't it? Looked completely dead last test.

    Wonder if the Corner Post has invited Messrs Clyne, Eales & Pulver for a friendly post game drink and a chat with the members.

    That would be enough to convince me to buy a ticket.
