If the Rebels don't improve that's going to be U-G-L-Y

Ya Australia are looking quiet weak at the moment. They still have major issues in the scrum. The Lions look like they could be bringing one of the best touring sides in a long time. Welsh and Irish are strong and the English look to be a coming force. Scotland are also improving and look to have a few bright prospects.

All I know is that if i am still here, I will have half of Dublin looking to sleep in the spare room/couch/floor/balcony during the tour.

Very good against the Reds on the weekend actually. Considering they signed O'Connor and Beale for Their second season, they should pick up a couple more players for next season. The big issue will be that the ARFU probably won't let Aussie internationals play in midweek games.

Second best team in the world. They had an average age at last years world cup of about 23/24 which was incredibly young for a rugby team. A potentially great side is emerging. Going to be a great tour.

Whats the story with tickets? Anyone when they will be on sale?

Bumping this thread. Is there any like street parties or anything organised for the Lions tour in any of the cities? Seems like they are lacking a build up or any sort of atmosphere.

I'm in Melbourne atm. I'll be going to the game but where is the best place to go to before / after the game? Is fed square having anything for it?

Haven't heard much about pre-game events tbh. I am sure the rugby bars around town (Turf Bar etc) will have good crowds and be good fun and you'd expect with all sponsors involved they will have some sort of shindig on Fed square.

Melbourne is not great for union anyway. Been toa couple of Wallabies games (Italy/Wales) at Etihad and there were probably more Irish people there than locals.

I am hoping Brissy will be good fun though...

I'd say your best bet would be looking on somewhere like gumtree at this stage. I just took a quick look there and it seems people are selling spares at face value so you might be able to pick up a couple of tickets there.

Tickets for the Brisbane game on Ticketek. Just checked and they have bronze available

My ticket for second test came in post yesterday....along with the tickets for 2 seats next to mine!
Rang the tour company and posted the spare tickets back, hope they get to the two guys in time.
I have their names off the tickets so might mess them around for a while at the match pretending to know them etc..
Looking forward to the tests, building up nicely.

Im about the 3rd person to ask but if any nice individual had 1 or even 2 tickets for sale for Waratahs v Lions that would be awesome!:)

hussey

Anyone have 2 spare tickets to Melbourne test by any chance?

FernandoTorres

I have standing ticket for the Melbourne test. It says go in any Gate so I assume the standing area goes all around the stadium behind the first tier of seats. Can anyone confirm this and recommend where would be best view-wise?

Also where would be good to watch the first test in Melbourne?

colman1212

I have one spare ticket to the brisbane test. Gold standard. Cost 247 dollars. Let me know if you want it.
