Your Game Plan Round 7
The Sydney Roosters will commemorate the sacrifice of men and women who have served Australia in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations when the Tricolours take on St George Illawarra Dragons in the annual ANZAC Day clash at the SCG.
Roosters Members and fans, whether you will be at the stadium, at Easts Leagues or watching from afar, here are all the details you need to prepare for one of the biggest days on the rugby league calendar.
GET YOUR TICKETS AND BE THERE!
Although capacity is back to 100%, everyone must sit in their allocated seats to comply with COVID contact tracing requirements.
Gates open at 1:45pm, so you'll have plenty of time to find your seats for the 4:05pm kick-off. If tickets are available on the day, the Gate C box office will open at 1:30pm.
The curtain raiser before NRL kick-off will see the Australian Defence Force take on Turkish Residents in an exhibition match, while the official Anzac Ceremony will begin proceedings at 3:30pm.
ANZAC DAY ACTION
In one of our biggest games of the year, there will be plenty on show at the hallowed SCG during the day.
The Australian Defence Force will play the Turkish national team at 1:50pm, with other on-field commemorations starting at 3pm.
These include a performance from the Scots College band at 3.15pm, and parachuters arriving on the SCG with the game ball at 3:30pm. Players from both sides will arrive onto the field around 3:50pm, which will be before the Last Post is played.
Brought to you Twenty Five Four, the World's Biggest Game of Two-Up will be played at half-time - and you can be a part of it!
The coin will be flipped three times - and you can participate by putting your hand on your head or tail to predict where it will land! The bay with the most people standing by the end will win a prize thanks to Twenty Five Four.
There will also be an Australian Defence Force artillery race at half-time as well!
