Make excuses or build a good culture with the playing group.

In Union its an absolute must that you provide the opposition with a minimum of two jugs of beer and two jugs of soft drink in the changerooms after the game regardless of the result.
The other interesting one is that it is also required that each team provides 5 players for the after match 'boat race' drinking game. Each team provides 5 players who are required to skull a pint of beer in a race against 5 of the opposition players. Always done inside the clubrooms. You can lose the game on the field but have the chance to redeem your ego with the boat race.
Also if you were an opposition player, wife or friend and you hang around you would never pay for a can of soft drink if you were a designated driver for players who are staying on to drink.
Its actually my favourite part of playing is the smashing each other on the field but the comradeship off the field between opposing sides.

That culture stems back to the University/College demographic 'Boat Races' are a big part of the social structure. Obviously updated with the modern Drink Driving laws. Also helps the Rugby Union Community in SA is extremely small.
For Parklands based clubs it is very difficult to entice opposition clubs to the place where they drink as it usually requires getting in a car to drive 5 minutes down the road to some city pub. At away games they have to get back to the city pub and usually via home as they then have some other event to attend as well.

What a load of bollocks! What is wrong with having a beer outside the changerooms. We have played Blackfriars and Pulteney in the parklands and both clubs packed their shit up so they could get out of there as quickly as possible without any thought to having a drink with the opposition.
And as for the away games, how is that any different to any other club?

Smithfield always invites the opposition into the club after games for a 2 or 3 jugs. Away venues usually do fairly well at the bar with the Smitty supporters, as long as they stock up on the red tins.

Excuses don't come into it, depends when your own club has stated pressos will be, hard pushed if playing one side of town to get back to base for 6.30pm pressos
