Australian players give cold shoulder to playing night Test matches

[James]

Baxter doesn't like the cold. He worries the hinge in his back will seize up

Maybe you can oil it up for him. You'd like that wouldn't you Flame? Rubbing oil into big Al.

[Burgs]

I'm tipping only if it was flamable

Soft cocks, for 11K per Wallabies match they can toughen up, perhaps even wear a sports skin... The Green Bay Packers can show them some resilience… Deans must be having a quiet chuckle coming from one of the cooler parts of the Shaky Isles...

Green Bay drive in all conditions


Cold Packs supporters show how to encourage your team in adverse weather conditions

Green Bay lost that game

Give it to South Australia - they have plenty of larger venues - or even Hindmarsh at 16K capacity if a dedicated rectangle is required? Better weather, fewer politicians ...

Weather has nothing to do it... It’s about reward... And respecting a rugby heartland and its long-term significance…

Another astute action by the ARU management in 2009, along with the overseeing of the administration conduct of the new 5th S15 province and the future annual auditing of all provincial financial records and their third party player contracts… Where no province can circumvent their future financial transparency…

They're doing a good thorough job... The weather is of no consequence…it happens…

ARU CEO John O'Neill ...“There is no doubt the time is right to take a Test back to the nation’s capital.

“Canberra has had a major presence in Australian Rugby since the advent of professionalism.

“The Brumbies have been the most successful of our Super Rugby franchises and, with two titles, remain the only Australian team to have carried off the most coveted provincial championship in the game.”

When oi were lad, cold meant Nuffin to us. Ice on ground were looxury.
It were so cold on our paddock that after game coach would take team naked into meat freezer to raise body temperatures ....

It were so cold that all players wore rope over shoulder attached to wrist like James O'Connor, so that player wouldn't accidently tooch willi and snap it off.
I were only player to snap it off despite rope, when I accidently tooched willi while scratchin me nose.
