Angus McGrath is their best player, if he doesn’t stay that would be a massive loss

It’ll be interesting to see if they announce any more players. The last announcement seemed to come right after my question about the other lads.
Maybe a coincidence.

Hoping this year we can talk about some actual footy and not divisions or washouts etc

There will be plenty of talk of divisions between now and April.

Great start for NSW Rugby TV today with technical errors causing some to miss the opening 5 minutes of the Tahs Brumbies trial. Hopefully they will have that sorted by the time Subbies kicks off.

Not this bloke again.
Gloves are old and antiquated.
Studs remain in use.

I went down there for the weekend to watch the game. I am in two minds about the whole process.5G issues in Bowral?
Pros:
Super rugby level rugby in the 'country' and was a lot of interest. circa 4k crowd was reported
The event was run really well. it was organised enough to avoid chaos and not organised enough for it to feel like a soulless Sydney nanny state. If that makes sense.
Pitch and facilities from the Bowral blacks are awesome and I left quite envious
Player access was un-matched, and kids were loving it!
Cons:
God if felt like a boys club meeting. Land rovers getting their first bit of off road action rolling around on the grass parking.
The amount of money in Bowral is nauseating. Its Sydney's version of the hamptons. Should this really be the market they target in rare cases of event flexibility?
I just had a sense of this is exactly the image those outside of Rugby think it looks like. it didn't do our stereotype any favours.
In summary, i enjoyed my time, but felt the event could have been held somewhere closer to an area we need to grow the sport.

This is the bit I laughed at - good summary.

21mm, the gloves were a pivotal part of rugby history. Didn’t see Stirling take an intercept in a World Cup semi with 21mm studs on. He certainly was rocking a crisp pair of fingerless gloves.

I would imagine they will land in Div 3 if they manage to hold onto what they were running in the Canberra comp. 2 Grades and Colts. If they only get 1 grade side up then maybe a Div 4?
