WALLABIES RETURN TO HEART OF SYDNEY RUGBY

The Australian Rugby Union sign a ten-year deal to play an annual Test at the Sydney Football Stadium


Sydney will stage two rugby Tests for each of the next 10 years, with a daytime match likely to become a regular part of the annual calendar.

The Australian Rugby Union has signed a ten-year deal to play a Test at the Sydney Football Stadium from 2012 onwards.

The SFS, which hasn't staged a Test since 1998, will host a Saturday afternoon match between Australia and Wales next year.

ARU boss John O'Neill says there is a chance there will be a daytime Test in either Sydney and/or Brisbane for each of the next 10 years.

The ARU confirmed earlier this year that the Wallabies would play a Bledisloe Cup match against New Zealand annually at ANZ Stadium over a ten-year period starting in 2012.

Next year's SFS Test will be Australia's third of the year, following a likely mid-week match against Scotland in Newcastle and the first Test against Wales in Brisbane

I think the Perth Arena is designed for small court games (tennis, basketball, etc) and that the Hopman Cup will be played there. I'm not sure what's going to be done with the Burswood Dome, or whether the Perth Arena will get the Wildcats moving away from Challenge Stadium. If not it's a very expensive home for a week of tennis a year. At ~$500 million it's five times the cost of the upgrades to NIB - imagine how great a stadium NIB could be if it had just half the cost of the Arena spent on it.
