Interested to see how Hannon develops. Was borderline ready this year but huge step for any 15yo to play GPS firsts, let alone at 10. Has been outstanding at age level and on the athletic track. Now he needs to earn his chess grandmaster stripes. Love an attacking threat at 10, if he can...

Kings will have the front row back with one of this years second rowers in year 11 moving forward. New second row and back row required with only the 7 returning. Will miss Isaac's three years of service. Austin Durbridge's younger brother is a bit bigger than him and will likely be there...

Not saying he is bad, but whoever is there will be receiving 10+ high balls with a lot bigger bodies than his on top of him.

Will want a high ball specialist next game. Toole deserves his chance but kick receiving is not one of his strengths.

Yes they dominated through box kicking and ball retention before going wide. Loosened up when they got ahead

What Joe has demonstrated is the value top tier talent and professionalism adds to an organisation. Absolute blessing for Australian rugby. Get him an honorary citizenship

While proud as punch of the Wobblies can’t believe I’ve seen a worse last 20min from the Saffas after their magnificent opening. Expect wholesale changes and a reversion to type for gameplay. They will scrum for penalties and box kick all day. Expect a back three that knows how to tackle and a...

Love your work Chairman, thank you.

Amazing result to wake up to. Very proud Going to be some very angry men in green in Cape Town.

Agree disappointed for the boys. Opportunity for Perret, Hilgendorf and Woodhouse to revisit their program. Regardless of the Oakhill injection of fresh blood the program has been light on in good game management through the backs with limited kicking games, average field position and a high...

lol applies to all, just depends on how you want to define scholarship. Few actually say sports, some go old boy, country ( from 20km away), character, indigenous, means tested etc. ALL do it

Joey +3 Kings +20 New+10

Defence won it for View this year, dominating Kings in both games. Kings have a magnificent forward pack but look a little one dimensional. Really need some talent development in their backs in game management and kicking. Plenty of ticker from the likes of Farrah but little genuine threat from...

Thank you for producing these, great job.

The list is a great effort by a great contributor who compiles it in a short timeframe. Produce your own list if you don’t like it. View are deserving premiers and have conducted themselves brilliantly. Perhaps a few of their online supporters could learn some lessons from them. Objectivity can...
