ACT Rugby fans will see international Rugby this winter with Wales committing to a game against the University of Canberra Brumbies at Canberra Stadium, 12 June.
The midweek game will be a good test for both the University of Canberra Brumbies and Wales, falling in the middle of the Castrol EDGE Wales Tour where they face the Wallabies in three Tests (Brisbane 9 June, Melbourne 16 June, Sydney 23 June).
In a new format for FxPro Super Rugby, no competition games will be played between 3-29 June, leaving four weeks for the Castrol EDGE Wales Tour to roll through Australia and into the ACT.
In a bonus for University of Canberra Brumbies members, they have been given from 12pm Monday, 14 May until 5pm Wednesday, 16 May to secure their regular seating.
Tickets go on sale for the general public at 9am, Monday, 21 May.
Wales haven’t played a University of Canberra Brumbies team since 1996 when they were beaten convincingly by the home side, 69-30 at Canberra Stadium.
Brumbies Rugby Chief Executive Andrew Fagan said he was excited to host the Castrol EDGE Wales Tour.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for people in the ACT to get out and see one of the world’s best international sides on their own doorstop,” Fagan said.

The question is... Can the Welsh hold their own against a team of bakers?

Depends on what side is played Sean, the A Team are flying out to Aus 15 days before their first game to acclimatise which means the B team will be remaining here to play the BaBa's on 2-6-12 the first test match is on 9-6-12 which will be the A team so my guess is that it'll be mainly the B team against the Brumbies or possibly even the 3 choice squad members. Although to be fair the B team is still a verrry good side and the youngsters that are going on tour are all great players in the making and there for development so it should be a good game either way.

I don't get it. Even if he's sponsored by Castrol this chap doesn't stand a chance against 15 hairy Welshmen. Or is he against the Australian bakers?

One should always hope that the women give good head....
I have to say it's kind of well, charming, in a quaint way, to see the way folks from the backwater regions of once-important--but-now -marginally-significant countries hoot and holler about their little provincial sporting contests...

The greatest technological advancement for the Welsh was the invention of the wheelbarrow...
Taught them how to walk upright on two legs...

One of my favourite lines from literature, in A Man for All Seasons when Thomas More learns that Richard Rich was appointed Attorney General for Wales in exchange for the perjury that condemned him: "Why, Richard, it profits a man nothing to give up his soul for the whole world....But for Wales!
