There might not be enough beer in Sydney, but a group of NSW Country players from the 1980s are holding a reunion before, during and after the Waratahs clash against the Reds next Friday night.

Norths and Manly will play the curtain raiser from 5pm under lights and on the big stage at Allianz before the Tahs take on the in form Queenslanders.

It's been a tough ole year at Daceyville, but the young Tahs, many with strong links to Shute Shield clubs, have given it their all this season and deserve the support of the entire rugby community.

Get along for a big evening of rugby if you can.

If you'd like to attend the reunion, contact Baz at bepirate10@hotmail.com!

There's an interesting meeting of all the Shute Shield clubs with Rugby Australia’s Ben Whitaker scheduled for next Monday.

High performance and the role of club footy in all that is sure to be discussed in what should be an absolutely intriguing coming together of rugby minds.
