Rugby Video Monday

Yes I know, Rugby Video Monday is late! But I was busy all weekend and my co-worker is sick today, so I am slammed at work.

Found this video the other day on Youtube, Australia Rugby League match vs New Zealand. Watch towards the end of the clip for an incredible try! Greg Inglis fumbles the ball and while in the air over the dead-ball line, recovered the ball and flicked it over his head to Mark Gasnier for an amazing try. Australia won 28-12.

Other Rugby Video Mondays:

PARKING!

If you park in any normal "paid parking" lot at Zilker this weekend, you will be charged for parking no matter if you are volunteering or not. However, here is a quick parking guide for you:

Free parking: available under Mopac bridge at either end of the pedestrian bridge. Also, if you get to Zilker before 8:00am, you won't be charged. You are welcome to ride your bike, walk from a neighborhood, canoe or parachute in for free.

$3 parking: park on the south side of Barton Springs Rd (by Barton Springs Pool, etc), you will be charged the normal PARD $3 fee. one note: if you work for the city of Austin and have a city of Austin ID card, you are exempt from the $3 charge

$8 or $10 parking: We will charge $8 (for a one-person car) or $10 per car (if more than one person) to park on either Lou Neff Rd or the overflow parking on the south side of Barton Springs Rd (off Stratford Ln). Remember, it doesn't matter if you are volunteering or not, you will be charged $8 or $10 if you park here. Note that $3 of that money goes to the city.
