Melbourne Brothers., Based out of Endeavour Hills RUFC. Rep-level quality with a strong cultural focus. Consists of many, but not exclusively, players of PI heritage. The focus is equally on Rugby and cultural heritage.

It's not only the 1st VX, most schools have depth at all levels. St Kevins, Melbourne, and Brighton seem to be building the best rivalry and depth of all teams. I'd love to see a Public vs Private XV match. Think they tried something last year, where the brothers team played a 1st XV VSRU...

There is an established school comp. It's called the VSRU. Now, when both the public and private schools can play in the same competition, THEN we will have true growth.

Cabous Eloff signs for two more seasons, Good news!

We can fix our centre pairing by offering a dump truck full of cash to Kerevi.

A mate saw a "thanks chibba" flash on the big screen yesterday, but it disappeared really quickly. Thought he may be on the move, or even hanging up the boots, given he's played 12 years of pro-Rugby. A solid player too, with a bucket load of experince. Really liked his hustle. Now, Mafi...

Hang on, did I miss something? Eloff isn't going anywhere. Talakai might be just coming back for squad depth. I would certainly play Eloff on Talakai based on the current form in Super Rugby.

He does. He ran an absolute masterclass (via Zoom) on scrums for the Vic coaches, which showcased his scrum work from the Harlequins open session early this year. One of many put on by RugbyVic, to help develop the next gen of coaches.

I think it's more likely that chibba will hang up his boots before jordo heads overseas. I know he's slipped down the hooker pecking order, but his sense of Melbourne pride will probably keep him here. Just _one_ season not ruined by injury is what he needs to give him a good shot at the...

Not overly inspired on our team selection. Glad that Hardwick is starting - deserves a run. Something isn't quite right in our tight five; height, sync, secondary shove. Can pick it, but clearly it's a problem. Yet, we have the same start tight five? I'm a fan of pick and stick, but cleary...

I'd say current is RV/Vic Government. Any potential sale would have to jump some pretty high hurdles to keep VicGovt happy. Dare I say they'd keep a stake in the team.

Things improved after that terrible 50-3 pasting. Not perfect, but definite imporvment. Playing a natural 5/8 at 5/8 - genius. Guidance and support from To'omua was a very smart decision. Leota, Wells, Kellaway all improved throughout TT. No suprise to see them in the Wallaby squad as a...

Nope. WE improved thorugh the TT comp, but not to the levels required. We need a coach who has the championship mentalaity and midset. Ideally someone who has won major championships before.

Sefa would be MORE than a handy replacement for Koro.

Nothing against Steve, but swapping him for Mad Matty is a good swap.

Let him run out his retirment down at the Stables! Tily can pay him in Bronco Burgers - best in the business!

Cheers, RY!

Hands down it will happen. Even though the lockdown is only extended for another week, we won't be out of lockdown for at least two. Sucks, was looking forward to seeing the Sadists live.

When he's not a Rugby manager, he's also a history teacher at St Kevins. Would explain his passion. Think he said he's done aobut 10 tours up north. I never had the privilidge of a VSRU tour, just VJRU/VRU.
