Jill, what they say over here is that the 10,000 tickets for the second
'test' between the Lions and the Wallabies only came on the market after the
Wallabies were thrashed last weekend, and that they are only available to
Australian citizens. I'm not sure what this means but it could be that
Australian masochism is not to be denied, or that they number of British
supporters at the Brisbane game is being blamed for the poor performance of
the Australian team, do you know which it is?

But too late for tickets to 'the game they play in heaven'. According to the
Sydney Morning Herald today "The remaining 10,000 tickets on sale for the
third and final rugby test between the Wallabies and the British and Irish
Lions at Stadium Australia on July 14 sold out within 35 minutes this
morning."
Of course, I prefer earth, myself.
