Juventus also took to the pitch at Kogarah Jubilee Oval on Friday afternoon for their first training session on Australian soil.
That session was closed to the public and the media but on Saturday from 5.30pm more than 3000 lucky fans with tickets were able to watch Juventus players go through a more rigorous workout at an open training session at Kogarah.
The ground which has been the home to many St George Dragons rugby league champions over the years such as Reg Gasnier, Graeme Langlands and Johnny Raper, to name a few, was a temporary home to Italian giants Juventus FC.
More than 55,000 spectators packed into the ANZ Stadium to see the one-off, special event on Sunday and were treated to an exciting match which saw the All Stars take the early lead, with a final score of 3-2.
The event was organised by Destination NSW, and follows the highly successful, Sydney exclusive sold-out All Stars match against Manchester United in July 2013.
