A Super Smorgasbord of Rugby in Melbourne

Last weekend I was lucky enough to travel to Melbourne for a FANTASTIC weekend of rugby. It was "Super Round", which meant that all Super rugby teams were scheduled to play over three nights. (The Force/Moana game was postponed due to a corona virus outbreak...) but every other team faced up!

It was an amazingly well-planned trip, organised by the Reds membership crew. It was great to have Jim Tucker, Elton Flatley, Bill Ross join us for the tour as well as many of the leaders at the Reds organisation. (Click here to read my interview with Elton. It was a lot of fun!)

We flew from Brisbane to Melbourne on a chartered jet (thanks Alliance!) early on Saturday morning and the action kicked off straight away.

We had lunch as a group and got to hear stories and perspectives from Jim, Elton, Bill and Sam Cordingly before we headed to AAMI Park for the action.

There were many great rugby games played, but unfortunately the Reds couldn't pull off the win this time. I did takeaway many positives from the game though, including Lawson Creighton stepping up to the number 10 role for the first time, with James O'Connor injured.

Enjoying GREAT food and conversation about the game we all love

It was good having Jim Tucker with us for the trip

A HUGE thanks to Minako and the Reds membership crew for organising an outstanding weekend. I'd highly recommend becoming a Reds member and joining our trip next year, if you can!

I love rugby and I love talking with rugby supporters. Reds rugby still rules!
