Wallabies secure NSW Blues state‑of‑the‑art training facility to prepare for Rugby Championship

Michael Cheika and the Wallabies have used a fast‑developing friendship with the 13‑man code to secure a state‑of‑the‑art training facility ahead of the Bledisloe Cup next weekend.

The Wallabies will soak up the era‑changing mojo of Brad Fittler's NSW Blues when they base their training week at the new $20m NSW Rugby League Centre of Excellence at Olympic Park.

Though still under construction ‑ the Centre of Excellence is due to open next year ‑ the pristine training field is ready for use and the Blues did one session there during their Origin camp in May.

The Wallabies, who are staying at Olympic Park, have been given the thumbs up by the NSW Rugby League Centre to do a full week’s training at the facility, prior to taking on the All Blacks at ANZ Stadium this Saturday.

The cross‑code gesture of goodwill comes after the NSW Blues used the Rugby Australia gym and training facilities during their successful Origin campaign.

The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10.05pm this Saturday in Sydney.
