An exciting year beckons for the Class of 2017. There is the quadrennial trip to the Northern Hemisphere, as well as inbound tours by NZL and Fiji, and that is enough to get people talking and posting already. This is what we know so far: ASRU Championships are scheduled for 2 July - 8...

ASRU selectors will disagree. They select who they believe are the best at the time, noting that historically less than 50% of Schoolboys players go on to a professional career in sport. @Lee Grant has spoken to the selectors on several occasions and confirmed that they do not see that their...

^^^Don't worry, there are plenty of trolls on the Forum as well. Most are (or previously were during their short stay in Gaggerland) in the Schoolboy threads. The mods there operate with a hair trigger on their ban hammers because things can get out of hand pretty quickly, and we are...

Try again. Think @PFitzy has already posted similar images a page or two back for the Affirmative.

So NZ moves one step closer to the World Record Test Rugby winning streak currently held by Cyprus at 24. I think it has been set up that the Record may be on the line in the B&I Lions Tour next year. Can anyone confirm if this is the case. For sh!ts and giggles it would be cool to have a NZ...

Both sides of the fence have had their say on the Speight no try. It is now getting repetitive and tedious. MOVE ON.

Is it possible to talk about something other than the Referee/TMO, or Foley vs Quade? Rule 10. MIght be time to move on and lock the thread down if no one has anything new to post about. It would be a shame if we can't behave ourselves and the thread gets locked down before @ForceField...

Richard Hardwick wins the MOM award and receives the Phil Waugh Medal. Deserved it.

Stand looked to be full - ish. Ends and hill opposite were rather sparse. Looked as cold as a kiss from the Mother-in-Law. Crowd Noise was good, probably at 4.5 pFitz by my unofficial assessment.
