The fans have spoken, making the call on the start time and half time entertainment for the Wallabies' clash with the Barbarians.

Fans took to yourrugbymatch.com to vote and 50 percent of the count was enough to ensure a 3pm kickoff.

When it came to half time entertainment, 38 percent of voters thought a Women's Sevens match would be best, getting the nod ahead of a junior match, sprint relay and fan competition to win tickets to the Barbarians-All Blacks clash on November 4.The Wallabies take on the Barbarians on October 28 at Allianz Stadium.

A Shute Shield player will also be named as 24th man, though that announcement is to be made later this week.

Every NSW club will also be eligible for a kick back for their club, with every ticket purchased.
