2012 Golden Oldies Rugby Festival in Japan

Japan to Hold Golden Oldies Tournament.

From the 28th of October to the 4th of November, 2012 the City of Fukuoka, Japan is set to host the Golden Oldies Rugby festival. This will be a first for Japan.

Fukuoka was voted 14 in the 2010 poll of the worlds most livable cities. Fukuoka is known for the beautiful green spaces in a city setting.

With the recent disaster in Japan I would image plans may be changed. I only hope that it will go on for the sake of the Japanese people. I would imagine it is/was to be a wonderful tournament. The Japanese do things really well especially with Fukuoka being considered Japans sporting capital.

Fukuoka was on the south western coast well away for the badily affected areas. But the damage to Japans infastructure may make it impossible to hold the tournament. I will post any updates as they come in.

Golden Oldies Rugby. Ella and Campese are back!

The 'Gentlemen of Sydney' will play the 'Goulburn Fermented Reds' as a curtain raiser to the
'Waratahs' v 'Auckland Blues' Super 14 match at the Sydney Football Stadium on the 27th of March, 2010.

Rugby Legend Mark Ella will captain the 'Gentlemen of Sydney' which boasts a star studded line up including David Campese and rugby's CEO John O'Neill. Other team members equally as well known, but not in rugby circles, include Boxing legend Johnny Lewis, Joe Hockey M.P. and famous healer Duy Long Nguyen.

It won't be Longy's first time on pitch of the Sydney Football Stadium. In 1996 he helped steer Manly to a Grand Final win, working his magic on the injuries of the Manly players. Maybe another lap of honour for him this Saturday.

In September this year the 'Gentlemen of Sydney' will compete in the Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival in Sydney from 26 September to 3 October 2010.

We will keep you posted on their progress and results.
