Oracle of DelphiRWC Wallabies To Get Game Time in ARC
August 3rd 2007 02:09
No fewer than eight members of the Wallabies squad selected for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France will play in the opening round of matches in the inaugural Australian Rugby Championship.
The Mazda ARC kicks off on the evening of Friday August 10 with matches at North Sydney Oval and Members Equity Stadium in Perth.
Chris Latham will play for the Gold Coast-based East Coast Aces, Wycliff Palu and Al Baxter the Central Coast Rays and Greg Holmes, Sam Cordingley, Berrick Barnes and Sean Hardman the Ballymore Tornadoes, and Mark Chisholm the Navy Canberra Vikings.
While eight World Cup squad Wallabies have been selected to play in the opening round of the competition, five (Greg Holmes, Wycliff Palu, Sam Cordingley, Berrick Barnes and Chris Latham) will also appear in round two matches for their respective ARC teams.
Some are returning from injury and/or surgeries and will be gaining vital match fitness ahead of the campaign in Europe, while others have been chosen to gain more game time.
The Mazda ARC has been designed to fill the void between Club Rugby and the elite, professional rung of the game in Australia.
It will signal the first time that Rugby of this standard has been taken on a regular basis to locations such as the Central Coast, the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
The Mazda ARC competition, to be televised nationally on the ABC, will run from August 10 until the final on the weekend of October 13 and 14.
