That is a fair point... I can appreciate that - I guess it is a question of the lesser of two evils... I would say that Rucking and Mauling metre by metre is the better of the two - others may reasonably disagree... One of those unintended consequences you spoke of has been - by killing-off...

Ah! - excellent... Nice to see a few tours - and I note, several sydney schools going overseas as well... Thanks for that!

OK... Thanks for that - sorry to be pedantic, but has it always been played? - or did some incident occur to introduce the Sport to the School... I find it even more surprising that the GPS would replace High with St Gregs, rather than a Cranbrook, Knox or Barker...

very vague.

What is a collingwood, and where do they come from - I have never heard of them in Rugby Circles before - but that is probably my fault - not theirs.... Have they been trialing against CAS Schools for a while?

This was at St Gregs, WCR? - that would surprise me... Question: You mentioned in one post that you were coaching at St. Gregs? How has Rugby Come about at St. Greg's - What was their motivation? - after all, it used to see itself as such a bastion of Rugby League, like Patrician Brothers...

The whole idea that kids under 16 should have a choice, is foreign to me... Then again, I think the gift of Speech should only arrive at Puberty - or maybe with a Driving License....

That same era was also known for the phenominally boring 10-man rugby play of teams like Wales, and the Poms - and the likes of South Africa's Botha, who just kicked the ball away, all day... Of more recent vintage were game(S) like South Africa versus Australia - was it in Sydney? (I have...

You are right, but Isn't Sport at Joeys compulsory? - (it's hard not to be motivated if you don't have any choice)... Dont misunderstand, I think Sport (not rugby alone) SHOULD be compulsory in ALL shools - and I mean proper sports, not Chess and Lawn Bowls... Participation is all well and...

No it wasn't Evans I was referring to as a good coach - (I thought he started in '79. I stand corrected) - He was pretty orinary - in many ways. No it was another Brother - didn't he come down from Goulbourn, or somewhere bush? Wasn't it the '77 side the one with Trueman in the backs, and a...

Makes sense... still alot of growth left in many kids between 18 & 20... It is fascinating to see how many Pacific Islander kids are coming through the ranks in recent years... Good to see.

Ahh... Papworth.... What a Lost Talent he was...

These are Your Words, Not mine... Regardless, You seem to be very upset that SA Players are plying their trade overseas (in an international Sport. (?) Personally, I don't see it as a Vokken Shame that some kid gets to play Rugby in the South Of France, and shag Morrocan & Italian Birds all...

That is true... I will stick by what I have said about no kicking in the middle zones, Rugby is ultimately a running game, and yes I DO think that Kicking is a part of the game we can do with much less of... As to field goals, well, personally, I would ban them - but I am aware that the...

They certainly are All Over The Place...

Hugh... Only 6 2012 Schoolboys - this seems very low to me, given that only 12 months before, these players are at the centre of attention in Junior Rugby in Oz... Do you think this is low? Are there specific reasons for this being the case?

Not the only time that has happened...

For those of us spending alot of time overseas, who is this Skelton Bloke - What's his Story? What is he doing this Season, and does his Rep background with Samoa suggest that this is the way his Senior Rugby will also follow? Post Note - I found a Forum on this Fellow - Question answered.

The Sydney Grammar Strip is almost Identical to the one worn - with a great deal more distinction - by St. Patricks' College, Strathfield... I always liked Strathfield's 'non-Firsts' strip in particular, too - Black with thin Blue and Gold Hoops - very 'Rugby', and and have not seen many quite...
