More than 150 players from the NZ Falcons, Adelaide Sharks, Sydney Convicts, Melbourne Chargers, Brisbane Hustlers and our very own Perth Rams are facing off for the title this Friday and Saturday.

Rugby fans and supporters can spectate for free at Tompkins Park this weekend, and celebrations continue with a special after party on Saturday.

The after party will take over The Edison on Saturday from 9pm, with H. Sailor, Leask and Dean Misdale on the decks.

Purchas Cup is happening at Tompkins Park, Alfred Cove. Find out more here, or grab tickets to the after party here.
