Players and officials involved in the inaugural hybrid rugby match between Wests Magpies and Randwick are keen to play again during next year's pre-season after hailing the concept a success.

Wests, whose team included former NRL stars John Skandalis, Bronson Harrison, Shannon Gallant and Ray Cashmere, ran out 47-19 winners over the Galloping Greens at Parramatta Stadium on Sunday in an entertaining match that encouraged organisers to continue with their quest to find a game combining the best of the two codes.

Their dream is eventually to pit the Wallabies and Kangaroos against each other in hybrid rugby, but the immediate plan is to stage another match before the start of the NRL and Super Rugby seasons, possibly between the same two teams as it took the players time to adapt to the rules.

"This game today sets up an absolute challenge for maybe some time in January, and I am sure that Randwick will come with their big guns, some of whom are in England now playing in the World Cup," Hybrid Rugby chairman Phil Franks said.
