GIO Stadium Canberra

It's just not.

it it's just such a diversion tactic and i'm glad that there was a response strong enough against that it seems like every day there's a little bit more impetus i hope that the canberra media keep pushing it it feels like it's the perfect thing you know like suddenly you hear about parking being the issue and not actually there's there's way more parking in civic than at bruce stadium yeah there's 7 000 seats you know like parking spots in civic it's yeah You don't hear the same issue at Parramatta Stadium.

You don't hear the same issue at Allianz.

You can't park there.

And then we basically just followed the British Lions tour and played all of their openers.

around Australia, you know, like at Sydney Football Stadium, you know, Bruce Stadium in Canberra.

Yep, yep.

Just everywhere they went, we'd play their openings and play against all these different teams.

That $309.

By the way, tomorrow to Bruce Stadium, two hours and 25 minutes.

Tomorrow to Penrith Stadium, three hours and two minutes.

First thing Don Fern is going to show, Maxine Martin.

That will be a wonderful contest to watch, but there will be plenty of other games to throughout the November but this weekend again lots of great rugby being played around the world and great to see really I think with the WXV that the women's game they're getting more opportunities to compete at the highest level so there's instead of there being two three test matches a year there's now 10 test matches a year for the for our women's players, and hence we're seeing great improvement across the board.

But the first of those matches I will be heading out to tonight to watch Australia take on Scotland at Canberra Stadium.

Eva Carpani, she goes past her 50 caps mark.

And we will be saying goodbye for the Wallaroos to two of the great champion players, Cecilia Smith and Emily Chancellor, who retires tonight.

Because Rod mentioned you've played in the best stadiums and some of the worst in the world.

What's your thoughts on GIO Stadium right now?

Look, GIO Stadium of its time was great, but it was built in 1977.

And when I last played in, I think 2008, maybe later, maybe 2010, it was pretty old and tight.

And that's now... almost 20 years ago, and it hasn't changed much since then.

They get another crack this Friday, I think it is.

at GIO Stadium to go again and really pull the pain on.

But they've got to bridge that gap to probably the next cab off the rank is France.

They gave them a good push up there in Provence the other week.
