Security was in full force at Allianz Stadium tonight in response to heightened terrorism fears across Australia.

Throughout the match and at half-time, police were patrolling the aisles, checking along the rows at the feet of spectators for anything suspicious.

At the break, more than 30 security staff and police guarded the playing field.

Radio station 2GB reported that three bearded men of middle-eastern appearance were removed by police from the venue, however police later denied the claim

With the country on high alert, this may be a glimpse into what the future live sport experience might be like for fans.

Ya never get 'em all in the first sweep, and ISIS has lost the element of surprise.

Now it's target of opportunity, and Aussie police are prepared.

Aussies can always pull their concealed handgun and fight back attackers. Actually, I don’t think so.

The West will bankrupt itself trying to lock down every public event as long as there are masses of new muslim immigrants wandering around poking goats. They need to round them up an and them home.

Wouldn’t a greater concern to the nation be rooting out any hint of domestic violence by Rugby Union players ;?

I mean, WHERE are their priorities ......

So they are concerned about violence from the terrorists or the rugby fans?

I have an idea, turn the unarmed terrorist loose on the rugby field and let the Aussies have at ‘em.

I’ve still got mine - all fully legal and licenced. It is possible if people want to do it.

I’m in America & I have my semiauto - no license necessary.

Muzzies in U.S. stay vewy vewy quiet - too many of us “infidels” have weapons, strictly forbidden by the Koran, and growing numbers of us Yanks can now carry concealed.

No Cronulla distortions here, no mad mullahs calling non-burka’d women “meat for cats”. There’s the Dearborn muzzie ghetto but that’s about it.

FWIW, I proudly own a Lithgow SMLE #1 Mk III* rifle. Australians were in Vietnam when I was there. Will always remember. Thanks for being there for us.
