The ongoing rivalry between Rome and Milan in other sports has now spilled over into Australian Football with the home town Roma Blues taking on the minor premiers, Milano Aussie Rules, in the inaugural AFL Italia Grand Final.
Milan has dominated the AFL Italia league this year and are favourites to do the double. However Rome, with a home town advantage and a full playing squad, won't be out to make it easy and could very much snatch a famous victory over their northern Italian rivals. One thing that can be guaranteed is that it will be close and loud as the supporters of the Roma Blues are expected to come out in force.
The game will take place on Saturday 4th September at 18.00 at Capitolina Rugby Field at:
Via Flaminia, 867
Rome
Italy
