Will all be over soon as the competition starts proper. However , with GPS at two rounds next year who will trial with whom if at all. We may have seen the last of the cross association trial matches so comparisons will only be on paper or if school all play Waratah Shield.

Thank you for all that information Hugh Jarse

No match for Waves with Auggies this year?

Just a couple of observations: 1. if the parents are the problem then have other parents nominate for positions and work within the system. Nominate in numbers. 2. On the Penninsula how many schools play rugby in a structured competition? I suspect very few as the Government school don't...

Some of what you have here is applicable on the thread "Continuing decline in rugby"

Rather a large call. Three tries against a team that plays eqivalent to perhaps 3rd or 4th is not an achievement for a 1st XV.

Surely the red cards will be dealt with by the respective schools. No matter who we support inappropriate play is inappropriate and if one school or another via parents/students/etc views the other school with distain then trial matches may not be as readily forthcoming

I can agree with much said about the Auggies V Knox match. I suspect that Knox had some desire to stop the Auggies backs with the 5,6,and 7 lining up in defence in the centres. Certainly Auggies pack dominated and the Knox winger was excellent but I wouldn't swap the Auggies centres for the Knox...

There was interesting if hesitant start to a discussion on theis thread top on Rugby HQ yesterday on Fox. The gap is the issue and League do better than ARU.

Was there not also a forfeit in the Waratah Shield last year

In a cookie jar by the Heads desk.

Hoggy says in part "And it never will. 20 yrs later the same support base still exists, private schools & expatriates." I might think that reading a number of threads such as the decline thread that private school rugby has declined with perhaps only Auggies emerging in that sector in 20...

If I remember the Waratah Shield forum correctly, didn't Knox forfit to Auggies in the semi finals?

Marlins boss leads fight to get club rugby back on TV next year after it was cut by the ABC http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/northern-beaches/marlins-boss-leads-fight-to-get-club-rugby-back-on-tv-next-year-after-it-was-cut-by-the-abc/story-fngr8iii-1227138538087 More joy for the game

I feel the laws are too complex. Look at the laws and how many could impact on sections of the game like scums. I have coached and still don't understand some of the rulings ref's make. Maybe I'm just dumb but when a TV guy like Kearns doesn't know were are we? The game doesn't have a big base...

Some, I suspect, view the NRL as a more challenging competition and along with that perception of a better structure opt that way. Why are the Wallabies loosing so many good players to Japan and France.? Many are in their prime if take HJ point about time in NZ. One would have to say the...

With so many wonderful polynesian players in our team perhaps we could alsodo a haka from them in response?

Thanks

Questions. --- Will this apply to school rugby e.g. GPS, CAS ISA etc? Does soccer or AFL have it?
