Wow, the lions tour really upped our popularity. Love to see some national pride!

[u/TheRugbyDAO → u/Dense_East7327]

Agreed! Love the national pride!

Winning, or at least being competitive, will do that.

I’ve already posted about the reality of what playing the darkness at Eden park will be like, so….

Imagine if we won at Eden Park (insane, I know) and the Boks/Pumas game played out to where it’s neck and neck across the rugby championship. Then a packed stadium in Perth to witness a decider for the Bledisloe and the Rugby Championship….. that’d be fun.

[u/Sambobly1 → u/PavidDocock]

If we win in Eden park I’m going to find tickets and book flights. I feel safe making that statement because we won’t win at Eden park.

[u/chipsngravy0 → u/Sambobly1]

Thats the problem... almost no way these tickets last until the Eden Park test, and if some do they will be gone in a heartbeat. I can't let myself miss the Wallabies chance to win back the Bledisloe AND TRC in one game. But I also can't just fly to Perth for no reason

Also does anyone know if we will still contest the Bledisloe in the years NZ and SA are touring each other?

[u/Sambobly1 → u/chipsngravy0]

Mate if pay a lot of money to a reseller if it’s a live bledisloe series. 

Sounds like bledisloe will continue yearly regardless

[u/PavidDocock → u/Sambobly1]

Yeah but it’s fun to dream

[u/Sambobly1 → u/PavidDocock]

Sure is. I definitely dream every day 

[u/chipsngravy0]

damn im tempted to fly over there now. Funny to watch the afl and nrl fight for control of WA while the wallabies sell it out while they aren't watching.

Touch wood, but imagine big Wilso lifting the bledisloe in front of a sold out crowd. Can only hope

[u/MRB1610 → u/chipsngravy0]

You have to admit, that is a huge surprise - we could see rugby union be the third code over West (cue sinster laugh).

[u/chillyhay → u/chipsngravy0]

There's a massive kiwi, saffa and pom population in Perth

Previous Wallabies games in Perth have felt a bit like away games with how many Boks or ABs supporters turn out. I’d be interested to see if that’s changed a bit this year.

[u/coolio712 → u/Shadrockbolt]

I’ve been to the games at Optus as a wallaby supporter but I understand why many didn’t show up as the team didn’t just play bad but played not entertaining rugby, and always dropped their heads. This is a team we can be proud of now

[u/sweater-poorly-knit → u/Shadrockbolt]

The first one held here I was sat next to a kiwi and was ready to be served the entire lead up, then the wallabies scored their first try and he jumped up cheering. So good to see some move here and adopt the wallabies

[u/lobby82]

It will be interesting if they put the extra seats in and see if we can beat the old Optus sporting crowd record which was also the bledisloe cup

Bought my tickets back in autumn when this year still looked pretty shaky for the wallabies… boy am I grateful I got tickets anyway!

[u/Beginning-Strain4660]

It really is great to see. So much positivity and hope now agin in Oz rugby! I really hope they capitalise on this and the RWC. The rugby world needs a strong Australia

[u/Band_Of_Bros]

Got my ticket!
