To blame the ref in this match is an appalling denial of reality. From memory, the Tahs were 14 points up and in solid command when they replaced their 9 AND 10... several minutes later they were behind. This is what lost the match. I am not against trying to egg a penalty from the scrum - but...

Apparently not... around the time the players will be preparing to depart for this tour, several will no doubt still be in negotiations with their various Clubs and the ARU... I have no doubt that the ARU has worked out how much is available for that contract fund, and how much is left over to...

Not greatly - no... But what is different is how many times a parent from Strathfield, Castle Hill or Brookvale would be asked to do it in a year... then keep in mind that a parent in Canberra would have to bring his kid up to Sydney for OAKHILL, PIUS, STRATHFIELD, AUGGIES and on to Bathurst and...

Pulver has come out and said how bad their financial position is... so at least they are being up-front about it... The players don't want pay cuts, so... Madness to play Wales as the last match - but on the bright side, we need to get that inveitable loss out of the way before the World Cup...

So I guess it is fair to assume that Knox have Forfeited their Waratah Shield Fixture.

I know nothing of Penrith Rugby Club, as I have been interstate - but for what reasons is it apparently struggling? - (it must have done something to warrant it's initial inclusion)? Can someone provide a 'Quick Summary for Dummies'? (me)... In past years, St George & Port Hacking were...

It appears that the Knox Round 1 match has been forfeited, as no results can be found - unsure however, whom has forfeited to whom... It is interesting that when you visit the NSWRU Site it carries no mention of the competition, and a search on that site provides no matches... says it all...

I am not sure I have something 'against' it - I simply believe that a 3-fixture competition is less than ideal - and is certainly too few for a 2-round competition. I also believe that a bye in a schools competition is undesirable - especially one in which you might only play 6 official...

If his reputation were on the line, he would not be coaching schools rugby.... That is a long, long fall from National Coach - His reputation was pretty much parked after his performance with Scotland.

I think all the schools in ISA Division 1 are strong enough - if Gregs eventually gets it Union programme to replace the mungoes - or at least outnumber it, then i think they will also become formidable - it might take another half-dozen years... Out of respect to St Andrews Old Boys i will...

Not at all, from the fixture list kindly provided above, it looks to be 3 Fixtures per week, and 1 team has a bye - this week I believe that is St Pius... I should add that this has long been a criticism of the CAS - from within and without & although there is NO deadwood in that competition...

Its makeshift at the end of the day... I think the reality is that the High Schools would struggle to compete regularly against Private Schools due to Teachers Federation and other complications regarding Extra-Curricular activities - and in Sydney, with all the moves towards Co-ed Enrolments...

All this talk about individual skillsets is fine, but call a Spade a Spade... When I watch the 7s, it LOOKS to me like our players are PHYSICALLY not in the same ball park as some of the other leading sides - and this includes the team that played in the London Final... Perhaps my eyes are...

I hope the Kings get plastered and the Cheetahs get up by plenty.

It would be genuinely interesting for someone to make that study - pick 20 or 25 schools - Private and High - and go back 20-30 years to chart how many kept on at the game at a social level - and how many at a serious level... I am not sure how dismal - or how unusual that number really is...

Stannies at Home is traditionally one of the physically hardest hit-outs of the entire year... especially if it gets nice and chilly - every hit seems to hurt a little more than usual. Thank goodness thet do not always have the technical depth to go with the commitment..

I am pleased to see that having paid $75.00 per head on June 15, that the powers-that-be at Rugby HQ, Have agreed to throw the Lions Game in for Free.

thanks... a forfeit would be a great shame - if that is not the case, perhaps someone might mention the current status....

... this post makes almost no sense to me at all.... 1. Has anyone - anywhere - ever suggested that you need to be a St Patrick's old boy to play for the St Patrick's Club? - (let alone anyone suggest that everyone that plays for the Club IS an old boy????) That is a particularly odd...

Not as many as them....
