Commentators just saying that there are 28 nineteen year old players in the M10 cup this year up from 9 last year. NZL investing in youth. How many 19 year old players are there in the NRC in Aust this year?

Pissing down in Manawatu for Hawkes Bay Merlots against Manawatu Bucketheads. Lots of games in the M10 Cup are played in damp-very damp conditions. How many provincial level games are played in Aust in the Wet? Little wonder that we struggle when we go to the NH and play in the damp. Our...

1st loses to last. Can't take anything for granted. Well done QC (Quade Cooper). Must've been starting a former mungo SOO great that made a difference.

^^^ They can keep them, ex Pollies that is. Most were useless self serving bastards when they started visiting the Mountain Kingdom, and they just get more useless and egocentric after their time there. Stuff them, we exported the lazy buggers, and we don't want them back. Canberra, they're...

Not sure who is the Father and who is the Uncle but there are also links into the Mauger family, with Aaron Mauger as a nephew of Graeme and Stephen Bachop, so they have halfback, five eighth and Inside Centre covered genetically. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Bachop Be a good scoop if...

What caused this post @Oz Talent? Seems a little out of place given the last few pages of this thread.

He is currently with the Southland Stags in the NZL M10 Cup. Does he have a Kiwi grandparent or parent?

Cron is from NZL isn't he?

^^^ IIRC all three were at the same school in Tonga before Havili and Tupou went to Senior College in Auckland, and Fifita did likewise in Sydney.

There is a Player Points loading for players who played more than 50% of the previous years First Grade games at another club. This is about as good as the anti poaching clauses get in SRU. Something is better than nothing. In terms of the "discussion" above about allegations of M2B poaching...

Who does squad play against? Do they play against All time Crim XII (soccer, Hockey), XIII (Loig), XVIII ('Strules), or LVIX (American Gridiron) from other codes ? Perhaps they need to organise a fixture against the All Time Goody Two Shoes Weak as Piss Boring as Batshit 1st XV? Who would...

A major difference is that player performance is reviewed weekly. In most clubs players move freely and often between grades based on the post game analysis by Club Coaches, and attitude and application at training. After Player Points considerations are taken into account, the club selectors...

Full time. Rays 38 City 32

Irae Simone must be close to MOM.

Brother of Taniela grabs a meat pie off the back of a rolling maul. Jake Mack misses from the sideline again. Rays 38 City 32 with 9 min to go.

Cheese for Damian Fitzpatrick for repeated team infringements. He'll only get 2 more minutes of game time after the time in the naughty boys chair is over.

Chris Allcock replies with a meat pie for the Rays under the Chopsticks. Sinclair converts to take their lead out to 12. Rays 38 City 26 after 67 minutes.

Try awarded for Brad Lacey, but then Sir goes upstairs for a second opinion. Show some kahunas Mr Houston. TMO agrees that it is a meat pie, Rays 30 City 26 after Jake Mac misses con from the sideline. 65 minutes.

Josh Turner grabs some meat after a nice sweeping backline move. Lucas misses his first c for the day. Rays 30 City 20 after 55 minutes.

There is a lot of him to see.
