We recently attended a
National Rugby League (NRL) championship game between two teams from
Sydney area, namely
Cronulla Sharks and
Manly Sea Eagles (defending champion). The
NRL is one of the most prestigious competitions of
rugby league in the world and the most popular in Australia in terms of attendance, audience and merchandising. It operates on a franchise system in a closed championship (as in the
NBA,
NFL or
NHL). It is composed of sixteen Australian franchises from the east coast and one from New Zealand. The atmosphere is similar to the one you can experience at the
Montreal Alouettes or
Université Laval's Rouge et Or. A must do during a stay in Australia!
