Hurricanes V Brumbies Semi-Final, Sat 27th June

[Pfitzy]

@Pfitzy, not having seen the Speight tackle didn't stop you commenting on it. Is it the case also that you haven't seen Canberra?

But I have seen the tackle and I have commented on it.

Just like I have been to Canberra - visiting friends who live* there - and always think it looks such a nice place to live, and then remember how fucking cold it gets, and how fucking hot it gets, and how its populated almost exclusively by Canberrans.

Let's face it, if you're going to live in a big country town, and freeze your arse off, at least Bathurst is closer to Sydney, if only just. And there are less weirdos.

Actually spent the first 9 years of schooling in Bathurst back in the 1050s. Snowed every year and from Easter onwards the water was frozen in the pipes. Much colder than a Canberra winter.

So, did you get over for the Battle of Hastings a few years later? I hear it was a cracker.

A Brumbies supporters trip is being organised as we speak with details later today but the intended package is to fly direct to Wellington on Saturday morning and includes accommodation and match ticket and will fly back on Sunday.

we don't need to go to Canberra to know, it's even in the city marketing. #CBR. cold, boring, roundabouts

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

It does have a metric arse load of roundabouts.

 

[Pfitzy]

Yeah but at least the traffic is planned for - like ten times the amount they get. Need a good plan.

I also like the green belts, even if the grass is yellow from either drought or frost.

 

[Brumby Jack]

So yeah, back to the game...

 

[fatprop]

So are the Ponies flying straight to Wellington?

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

You'd think so, given that there isn't a lot to be gained by going home and then flying to Wellington.

 

[Brumby Jack]

They're flying back to Canberra first and going over Thursday

 

[Tahtrajic]

I'm late in on this thread. But isn't there flights from Perth to NZ. You would think that's a better option

 

[Hawko]

It's possible to fly from Sydney directly to Wellington without going through Auckland.

Its also possible (or at least it was some years ago) to fly Jo'burg to Auckland direct. To get to Wellington you have to make one stopover, usually either Sydney, Melbourne or Auckland. Its just a matter of choosing the option with the shortest overall elapsed time.

 

[Lindommer]

There was another flight, also some years ago, with British Airways from Jo'burg to Perth to Auckland. Hope the Brumbies brains trust have made the best decision for their charges.

I wonder if the Brumbies have considered a charter fright flight from Canberra to Wellington? They wouldn't need a big plane.

Well played, von Richtofen, well played.

Who/what did you have in mind? Jason Voorhees, Or Freddy Kruger perhaps? Of will they just commandeer an old ghost train from the local fairground?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

If you mean flight, the sponsor has a private jet.

No better time than now to lend it.

 

[Braveheart81]

Stephen Larkham and Dan McKellar waiting for their charter flight to Wellington to show up.

 

[Moono75]

No need for the Brumbies to fly in....why not take the Interislander ferry into Wellington

I read somewhere today they wanted to do that but the jet was booked.Some sponsor!You would think the good of the team would surpass all others.Maybe it's the sponsor's management travelling to Wellington in it!
