The Qantas Wallabies held a week-long training camp on the Central Coast using Central Coast Stadium for in field training.
The camp ran from Monday, August 8, and includes a free open session for fans on Thursday, August 11 at 3:00pm. Central Coast Council’s administrator, Mr Ian Reynolds, said it was a privilege to host the Wallabies while they train for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup series against the New Zealand All Blacks. “This is the first time the Wallabies have taken advantage of the Central Coast’s sporting facilities to train for such a major, international rugby series,” Mr Reynolds said.
“To have the team at Central Coast Stadium as they prepare for one of international rugby’s biggest rivalries is a major coup for our region. “With many of our residents participating in local rugby union, this camp will also give them the chance to hopefully meet some of their heroes at the open training session.” Fans will be able to get their favourite player’s autograph as well as enjoy other activities and giveaways at the Thursday open training session. Parking and entry for the open training session will be available under Brian McGowan Bridge.
