>Next big game at Cardiff - the Wallabies are coming - World Cup 2007!
The wallabies will be playing there in september this year. I intend to be there decked out in yellow!
Also the world cup 2007 is being hosted by France. Are they really going to play a game in Wales?

That's great. Will most certainly have to make the trip over the Irish sea for that one. When the wallabies tour this year they'll be playing Wales, England and Ireland. I'm going to try to get tickets for each of the games.
Tickets are finally available to Australian residents for these games. That means it will be more than possible for someone with an Austrlian address (like me) to buy tickets and have them sent to my real address =)
Otherwise there's virtually no chance what so ever of getting tickets to anything in this country.

>Fascinating that a topic like this - not at all relating to this end of the world - can pick upn 25 responses.
When ppl on this side of the world think Rugby they think of Aussies and Kiwis. Here in Ireland, it seems the number 1 two places for Irish ppl to go to see a game (if they can't be at the game) is the down under bar and the outback bar. The two Aussie/Kiwi pubs in the city.
Because you can always guarantee the game will be on tv there! Some pubs here will play a local soccer match rather than an international rugby game. Even if Ireland are playing!

I was in a hotel in Wallsall and the Wales Scotland match was due on TV. I asked the manager if the game would be shown and he said no because he preferred football !!
Naturally I had a chit chat with him about who comes first him or his customers. He didn't care.
I am pretty sure that if England had been on he would have made sure it was showing.
No one was watching the TV and all that was on was results.
I watched it in my room. Wales won then too !
Nasty Englishman.

I find that sort of attitude towards customers here in Dublin too. There isn't enough competition in any industry.
I first encountered this problem of a game not being shown when the wallabies played in Ireland 2 years ago. We were on the west coast. Stopped in at a pub for lunch and to watch the game to find that it was soccer on ever tv screen. But, in this case, the pub owner was more than happy to put the real footy on one of the screens for us.
