Did any footage of the round 10 Scots v Riverview ever surface. Can't seem to locate it anywhere, would be keen to have a look if there's any out there?

I think your some of these points are valid, however in rugby it doesn't matter who you get to select, there is always going to be some sort of perceived bias, because someone always knows someone etc. Last year being the first year, I thought it was incredibly unbiased by way of selection...

2015 should be an interesting year. Joeys were the dominant side, with Kings testing Joeys and getting up a few times from memory. Riverview only struggled with Joeys, and handled Kings easily on all occasions. Newington were ok at times and Scots look like a different team all together from...

Thanks to LG, and all those who have contributed reports this season. Its great to be able to get a detailed run down on games and players.

QH, at last we agree. Most clubs are crying out for Colts players. Many clubs, rightly or wrongly really only have the intel on those boys who make their respective CHS, GPS, CAS etc sides and ultimately the nationals so see those boys as the primary targets. Most directors of Colts rugby would...

Actually my point is that until you actually know the stats of denying a supportive section of the community a chance to be involved in favour of trying to attract a non supportive section it is a dangerous strategy. I have tried to suggest that there are many factors affecting the support of...

No doubt Hurley would go pretty well at 15. Mete not sure as he is currently in the 3's / 4's, not sure but it would be a big step up. I think Riverview give a lot of boys the chance in the trials so you never know.

Well it seems that the only solution to save junior club rugby is you get yourself onto SJRU, convince them that your solution and vision is the only way forward and lets see what you get. At least everyone will get their Sundays back, you will have successfully disenfranchised the private...

The problem just isn't as black and white as some would make it. Firstly it's a tedious argument that shifting the game to Saturday from Sunday will solve anything, it won't. Many factors have reduced junior numbers in the last 10 years. AFL has attracted a massive amount of potential junior...

One of the major problems in attracting lower grade ( 3rds/ 4ths school ) into playing colts rugby has been the prospect of lining up against the Syd Uni 3rd grade colts, stacked with young men that would most likely play 1st grade colts in most other clubs, and getting bashed to death. I know...

For the very same reasons bringing leagies in wont solve the issue around 16's. I do agree that if the problem is not actively attracting boys in that important 12's and 13's age group then clubs have to actually do more. I believe it is a curriculum requirement for all schools that children do...

I really am struggling to grasp the concept of making the game basically beyond participation for boys committed to school rugby on a Saturday in the hope of luring committed league players to the game in their place on a Saturday ? Is there any research or assessment to suggest that the...

The only way View could have avoided the slop was if they had a game plan that you could play on the back of a postage stamp because the pitch area was a bog from 22-22 and covered about 40% of the width of the field. Agree Woodhill played well but wasn't the reason they won. The 9 and 13 were...

Gehrig would be a good option at 8, for the reasons you mentioned. They could still play Hurley on the wing, probably best suited there, and look at Lenahan from the 2's at 15. I doubt Treacy would come back as he is such a gifted AFL player, and having seen him play in a rugby rep game a few...

Starting point: 1. Hancock ( 1sts) 2. Hamilton (2nds) 3. 4. Lott (2nds injured) 5. Pratten ( 3rds) 6. Morrison ( 2nds) 7. Archer (2nds) 8. ? 9. Rorke (2nds) / 16a.s 10? 10. McGregor 11. O'Reilly (2nds) 12. Pirina ? ( 1sts) 13. Therry ( 1sts) 14. ?? 15. Hurley ( 1sts injured) There's some...

I dont know the actual number of boys on bursaries, but a mate with boys there tells me it 90+ ? Of that number of students, only a small number actually play in there respective A teams, which is probably no different to what the normal distribution would be in any population sample. They also...

KO I know you aren't inferring thus but as a comment, I doubt the schools would welcome the 2nd XV comp being chopped up like the 3rd XV comp is. having the 2's play away and not be a part of the build up to the main game, and appropriately sub for the 1sts would stop grammar and possibly High...

I would be interested to hear the actual facts on numbers and why the comp moved to Sunday. I have been told that the reason the comp changed was because numbers weren't great for Saturday rugby. I'm nit involved in club rugby although I was for many years. My experience was that it was...

Fair enough, possibly a bit unfair on my part, but certainly AC is the key for Scots. If he plays they win well, if he doesn't it looks as though they are right back with the pack.

The Scots tone on this thread is extraordinary. I am bewildered that when Snots don't slaughter a side there is a sentiment that Scots must have been way off, and the other side playing well above themselves. Seriously have some respect for the opposition. What it says to me is that without one...
