Australian club championship rugby union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A challenge match between the Brisbane and Sydney club premiers was played in a regular basis from 1982 to 1992 (inclusive) and on an ad-hoc basis in various other years. The fixture was abandoned in the mid 1990s when the NSWRU insisted on playing each match at Concord Oval in Sydney, rather than on a rotating basis.
