That will work too

Correct! Had a discussion with a parent on the sideline about the same rule. Also, BBC 3rd try, the wingers foot was out before he placed the ball over the line. Come on touches, open your eyes and learn the rules!

Excellent defensive effort by NC and a well deserved win!

Yes, very dominant in the line out except for the very last line out when it mattered. BBC mess of it. Why didn't they take the 3 penalty kick opportunities instead of the line out?

P GD, pull your head in! For 10 minutes in the first half it was 15 vs 13 and then lead 31-18 up to the 60th minute. If they couldn't seal the deal with these odds, they didn't deserve to win. GT did everything to lose the game and NC did everything to win the game! And leave the ref out of...

The NC pack did enough to win, even when they were 2 men down. Maybe GT need to ask the question..."how did we lose that?"

Nah, mate. Watch the GT vs NC final from last year. Shepard was the FB for NC and got turned around by the GT winger twice! From what I've seen, including yesterday, from Bennett, FB is his position and not winger. He has to much skills to be on the wing.

Ha...agree Oracle83. I'd also add, NC outside backs needed to tackle the winger who ran around them...simple would you think. T, lets not blame the ref, lets not blame the boys and have a very close look at the coaching or lack of. The more I watch the school rugby it saddens me that they...

Mmmm...yeah pretty much every phase. BBC typical hiss and roar start then were stuck in their own half for most of the game. BBC don't know how to use the sky scrapers they have in the forward pack - what a waste. Besides a few brilliant individual tries by BBC, the writing was on the wall...

Ok, so here's the goss from the NC grapevine... NC coaches refuse to utilise their "bench",which they wont because this may question their selections (their egos seem to trip them up!). Unlike BBC coach (very smart), to provide that impact in the last 20-30 minutes of the game. For other teams...

NC forward pack dominated every phase, particularly the scrum and break down, this was evident by frustrated BBC players who were continually penalised and finally one getting yellow carded. Not one to mention names but without this pack moving forward, stretching the defence makes life a lot...

Can't be healthy....for the kids that is

Boom, you hit the mail on the head with a 20kg sledge hammer!! A friends son played for the Vic Team and he mentioned that they had selected their team at the beginning of the year, played 4-6 trial games prior to the nationals. The Vic schools comp is a 3rd the size of Qld, however they are...

Heard the same. So what's the big secret? Apparently the NC coaches uses the AB's performances as his "mantra" when talking to the team (weird??). Baby steps coaches; talk to the boys like humans and get to know them, your find all the answers to your questions. They may actually understand you.....

Shouldn't that 8 be in the 1st? had an instant impact when we came on the field for the 1st......albeit a few minutes

Their 2nds would have pumped the 1st as well!

Does anyone know which St John's College, there are 3 just in the north island? Assuming Hamilton....

Sage/Old School - Totally agree based on the last 2 trails I seen these boys play. Only 2 out of the list are play league, but your correct, too many of them are playing in the backline...so who's doing their job upfront? The boys in all these teams are athletes and will adapt to whatever the...
