I'm pushing 80 now and believe it or not - I was at that game at Lancaster Park in 1958. It was a couple of years before my family returned to Australia after my dad, a Kiwi, was transferred to NZ from Aus a few years earlier. To be honest I knew nothing about the Aussie team and everything...

They have played each other before: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/emerging-players-put-their-hands-up-in-pacific-rugby-cup/ There is a photo of them scrummaging against each other - and in the gallery there is another photo of them at the end of the game. .

Good banter guys - as I have said the last three times - the Tahs should win this.

I've said a dozen times that Sandell always looked too light to be a THP senior player and was amazed when Uni played him at THP in first grade, and astonished this year that he was named on the bench against the Brumbies in Canberra. Wisely, they did not use him. I keep saying that this lad...

You are new here and haven't read the rules of the schoolboy forum. Please read them. Where are they? There are three sticky threads on the top of the Schoolboy Rugby forum. The right one to click on is obvious. Read post number 8 I wrote in 2010 and you will see a link to the Scholarship...

Elfster will be doing a preview of the 2016 CAS season and I thought it would be great if everybody could help, although he will be the arbiter of what will be included and what, not. Don't write a separate section for the school you follow in full sentences. Just write bullet points in a...

George Grant will do it as he did it last year but please help him out by giving some info he may not know, although he will be the arbiter of what will be included and what, not. Don't write a separate section of the school you follow in full sentences. Just write bullet points in a post in...

There is a blog on the Canada 7s here. http://goo.gl/8r0hJM Give it a click. .

Yes it will be - but please stand by for the details in the next few days.

^^^^^^^ Ah, that reminds me of my younger days in the US going to a few concerts. Never got the chance to go to an Eagles concert however. Got to meet Janis Joplin backstage once though before she passed on - not exactly the girl next door. But Ladies and Gentlemen (if I can use the second...

Ladies and gentlemen (if I can use the second term loosely)…… …… the CAS season will be starting on 7 May and it's my job unpaid preoccupation to produce a blog of of the CAS games every weekend. I know what the clever people are thinking - there are three matches on every Saturday at the...

^^^^^^^^ Or looking for the Holy Grail, to warm up.

He played on the blindside v NSW but you're right in saying his best position is no. 8; he's a skilful player and is good picking up crap ball from the back of the scrum - and I suspect there will be a bit of that in Manchester. .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good news about Killingworth I always thought he had a good shot at Sevens but I didn't expect him to be as good as he is, so quickly, to be honest. More good news is about Parahi. He played Sevens as recently as the Olympic qualifiers - in November, I think; so he can't be...

I think they'll keep HH in cotton wool for Rio as he's already an influential part of the Sevens' side. Forget Kennewell - he's been crocked the whole season. I'm not surprised that NSW got only two backs in the side and I thought even that Latinipulu was lucky; but Maddocks was good in a DHP...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for posting that link Braveheart - it's a fantastic article.

Coach Tim Walsh is resting three of his top players, Charlotte Caslick, Alicia Quirk and Emma Tonegato, for the Canada Sevens to be held at Langford next weekend. Caslick and Tonegato were the Player of the Final and the Player of the Tournament in Atlanta, respectively. It is a bold step...

Congrats to Allister Coetzee for getting the Bok gig though it will be a bit of a poisoned chalice. He is the nicest guy of all the Super Rugby coaches but that won't help him. The government, through the Sports Minister has decreed that the Boks will be 50/50 white and black by 2019...

Pama Fou will walk into a Rio side is he is fully covered from his surgery but he has a history of shoulder problems from his volleyball days and his recovery is not certain. He has a point of difference on Aussie kick-offs in poaching the ball and we need him. The other flyer in the Rio...
