I was so tired Friday night that I forgot we actually did something, here's a quick recap.
We decided to take in some local culture and
went to a Rugby game at Sydney Olympic Stadium (ANZ) to see the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs take on the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, fortunately the Bulldogs were the home team, very easy to root for them, anyway, they got out to a quick start, but ultimately couldn't hold on for the win.
Fantastic game once you understand and I found the Aussies more than willing to
explain the game. Really interesting side note, just about every Aussie we've talked
to has been to the US, but most Americans haven’t been here, don’t know if it’s
the sense of adventure Aussies have or what. Anyhow, the atmosphere of the game was
electric and you could see the dividing lines very clearly, I had in my mind
that there would be a rugby hooligan presence, but by and large things stayed in control and the only fighting was
on the field.
Here is the opening kickoff:
