The Qantas Australian Wallabies kicked off their week long training camp at Central Coast Stadium today, which will include a free open session for fans this Thursday 11 August 2016 at 3pm.

Central Coast Council’s Administrator Ian Reynolds said it is 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.

“Plus, 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 this Thursday afternoon.

Parking and entry for the open training session will be available under Brian McGowan Bridge.
