On the BBC, I came across this interesting article;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17830287

George North insists Wales are ready to build on Grand Slam success rather than lose the momentum as happened after the 2005 and 2008 successes. The 20-year-old wing wants to keep the winning streak going on June’s three-Test tour of Australia. Wales face the Barbarians at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on 2 June before heading to the southern hemisphere. “I think we have been guilty in the past of just slowing down after a Grand Slam,” said the Scarlets flier. “But I think we have got the boys here now who are really keen to just push on and really achieve more. “It seems with the quality we have, we can achieve more and cause more upsets.

But! In a side bar, we have this:

WALES TOUR OF AUSTRALIA

Saturday 9 June: Australia v Wales (Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane; 1100 BST)

Tuesday 12 June: Brumbies v Wales (Canberra Stadium, Canberra; 1030 BST)

Saturday 16 June: Australia v Wales (Etihad Stadium, Melbourne; 1100 BST)

Saturday 23 June: Australia v Wales (Aussie Stadium, Sydney; 0600 BST)

Are we to be blessed as the only Aussie Club side to play the Grand Slam Champions of 2012?

Well, as a Welshman I’ll deffinatly be there,

You carry such a heavy burden so lightly, respect.

Well, as a Welshman I’ll deffinatly be there, will have to keep my eye out for tickets, don’t want to miss out on this one. As Jim said we’ll play reserves but it’s still a good thing to have the six naions champions playing at Canberra Stadium! See you all there!

Cheers for that Duffbowl, I’ll keep my eye on ticketek.

Just bought tickets for the Sydney match.

I spoke to the Brumbies Membership person earlier today about this. They are still sorting out details with Ticketek. At this stage, they are unsure but hopeful that existing Brumbies members will get preferential ticketing.

Anyone heard of when tickets will be on sale? The ones for the international matches have gone on limited release today.

oh wow this would be awesome!

it is listed on the Welsh team’s website…. so here’s hoping we all get to go?

wow……amazing that it isn’t on their website anywhere. Wales are a decent team though played midweek between Tests you’ll probably get to see the reserves.

Will tickets be on general sale for this?
