Interest in rugby WCC heats up

[.X.]

Sleepin is Cheatin

[Blackswan]

Latest word from Rugby WA this afternoon is that date and time details for fixtures have not been finalised and thay don't think they will be for a little while.

It will be at singapore cricket club
It is run by singapore tourist board , i imagine as an attempt to rival the hong kong sevens. They would have had to pay the clubs an appearance fee to attend. Handy.

Isnt jetstar, british airlines and qantas , one and the same.

Tues 28th July
Saracens v Perpignan
Gloucester v Western Force


Sat 1st August
Finals Day

I will be during the trinations and the end of season break for northern hemishphere test side.

So no test players will be going round.

Little personal note to the ARU - wow, Qantas, British Airways and Jetstar on board as partners, naming rights sponsors being sought and live broadcasting organised...guess that is how the professionals do it!

They are showing the game on there planes , which would have been done as part of the deal with the sing. gov to fly them out. hardly a sponsorship.

the tournament is without a main sponsor at this stage.

live broadcasting i can do with laptop!

it may be fun but the tournament will be run at a massive loss.

Dave have you got any positive news to spread about this?

Or do you just do the negative stuff.

You strike me as a glass is empty bloke, rather then the glass half full.

You might want to ease up on the excitement level, you dont want to peak to early.

of course not, he's a pom

[joondalup dave]

damn exile that is a great question , i love trying to see things as much as i can as they really are.

but in the case of the story above its just an ad to try to get sponsors on board for the tournament as they have only filled 1 of the 5 slots in terms of naming rights sponsors. Its greening'sbaby and he is trying to spruik the crap out it.

And the problem with promoting a brand-spanking new tournament would be?

[travelling_gerry]

I just recieved a nate from RWA. They say they will know more in 10-14 days.

Tues 28th July
Saracens v Perpignan
Gloucester v Western Force
Sat 1st August
Finals Day

someone should tell Rugby WA

[no.8]

So when are going to tell RugbyWA JD or are you going to keep it a secret?

I'm still amazed they are doing this and why isn't there is mix of the old and new order?

New Order - less than 100 years old
Western Force

Old Order - more than 100 years old
Saracens
Gloucester
Perpignan

Never mind forget I asked.

[joondalup dave]

And the problem with promoting a brand-spanking new tournament would be?

nothing gigs but it is a puff piece masquerading as news.

And people are reading it here as though it is news, the opinion of the success it has created is manufactured by the marketing agency that is running the tournament.

[jargan83]

I think the majority of people are reading it as an excuse to piss off to singapore to watch Rugby and get on the juice for a week

True but our opinions are being swayed a little.
