About 350 people packed into the sold-out The Rugby Club Marquee along the northern end of Weebolla Oval, where they had the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the Classic Wallabies stars and mingle with some of the who's who of rugby, including Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle.

Guests in The Rugby Club Marquee were also front and centre for exclusive off-field entertainment throughout the day, including the Classic Wallabies and Classic Wallaroos jersey presentations and panel discussions with Classic Wallabies captain Mat Rogers and general manager Justin Harrison, Moree's own Wallabies legend Brian Mansfield, Classic Wallaroos star Selena Worsley, Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle, and The Rugby Club Foundation president Angus Bruxner.
Meanwhile, hundreds more people lined the sidelines of Weebolla Oval to watch the on-field action.
At the end of the Classic Wallabies match, a jersey auction was conducted by David Watts.
The jerseys worn by Lote Tuqiri, Mat Rogers and Moree's own Brian Mansfield were auctioned, along with a Central North Barbarians jersey signed by both the Classic Wallabies and Central North teams.
Once all the official proceedings wrapped up, Moree band Avenue4Troy set up stage on the back of a truck and entertained the crowd well into the evening.
