The Rugby action kicks off on Saturday with a free clinic for all ticketed kids, delivered by the Classic Wallabies, before the NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds go head-to-head across Women’s Rugby Sevens (two games), Women’s XVs and Men’s XVs. The Men’s XVs match is part of the Super Rugby Aus competition, with Waratahs and Reds stars including Teddy Wilson, Seru Uru, Charlie Gamble and Tim Ryan likely to be in action.
On Sunday, there are two further matches between the NSW Waratahs and Queensland Reds Women’s Rugby Sevens, a 10-a-side match between the Classic Wallabies and Narrabri Blue Boar Over-35’s, an U18 Schoolgirls XVs match between NSW Country and QLD Country, and a Super U19s match between the Waratahs and Reds.
Other names to look out for over the weekend include locals Martha and Sid Harvey, Joey and Jonty Fowler, and Reds backrower Joe Brial and his younger brother Toby (NSW U19s) – sons of former Blue Boar and Wallaby Michael Brial.
