Sydney vies for leg of rugby's world sevens series

[Invictus]

The Gold Coast is where sports go to die

Why the hell is that? Too many distractions/other activities?

Not looking good for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, then!

Depends on how relevent you think the Commenwealth games are in the first place.

The fact the stadium's so far away from those distractions/other activities...

What other grounds in Sydney have the atmosphere and location for this type of event? Would North Sydney Oval be a good venue?

Anyone wanting to save on hotels for the weekend - when the dates are announced - let me know. Happy to help out if I can.

North Sydney Oval has a listed capacity of 20,000. Last time I was there the facilities were not the best for drinks/food/toilets etc. Small Grandstands from the 1920's and lots of grassed banks.

Also from a playing perspective the In-Goal is tiny and cut off by the Fence in the corners.

I was thinking of the grassed banks and people sitting in the trees, might have been festive.

My understanding is that Moore Park (SCG/SFS) were the ones lobbying for it. The IRB is deliberately moving away from that kind of 'boutique' event anyway - they want big crowds and big stadia.
