Two weeks ago Vic Masters rugby celebrated one of the highlights of their season, what has now become an annual fixture, a curtain-raiser to the Rebels vs Waratahs match at AAMI Stadium, between the ‘Wannabees’ and ‘Old Blacks’.
It would be easy to blame the Matildas’ disappointing result against Italy in their FIFA Women’s World Cup opener on a high defensive line.
