I seem to remember somebody writing a blog piece suggesting (amid howls of disapproval) something to that effect.

"DORK-ASS" - is that what you were thinking? Of course the Old Testament offers some really funky options too.....

Some alternatives inspired by names in the New Testament: Abijah, Achaicus, Agabus, Agrippa, Alphaeus, Ampliatus, Ananias, Andronicus, Annas, Antipas, Aretas, Aristarchus, Aristobulus, Barnabas, Blastus, Caiaphas, Celidonius, Cornelius, Crescens, Demas, Dionysius, Diotrephes, Dismas, Dorcas...

It is the only sensible option.

Court?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too

Society isn't really a homogeneous group anymore (if it ever was), so I think it is possible to find examples of modernity and post modernity...but deep down I think I agree that society is basically modern.

I suspect I missed more than one point. I would think that a policy of rotation would have a better chance of unearthing burgeoning talent than a policy of avoiding rotation. Maybe by the end of the season the first choice XV will have changed, but unlike the rotation ideas I put forward, it...

What about Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Scott Higginbotham, Leroy Huston, Liam Gill, Van Humphries, Rob Simmons, James Slipper and Saia Fainga'a? :fishing

Back row is just another type of back. Pussies.

I didn't read anything particularly revolutionary in that article. I'm a little surprised that the situation in schools and club rugby isn't addressed - the article seems to regard rugby in Australia to consist of Super rugby and internationals. I would argue that grassroots rugby is still very...

For anyone who hasn't seen the blog, I wrote a little article that looks at the Waratahs' draw and suggests a rotation policy: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/waratahs-2011-%E2%80%93-rotate-or-stagnate/

I wouldn't be surprised if he was expelled from a few.

Come now, it is at least a little bullshit if not corrupt. NZ FFS?!

Come on the blues!

The interview covers that too - some schoolboy stars peak early, some chose not to pursue a career, some guys peak late...and much much more...

On a serious note, I believe that the private schools are a net benefit to the development of rugby in Australia (producing players Vs reinforcing elitist stereotypes). If we want state school and club development to increase it will require investment and imagination from the ARU, and a World...

A couple spring to mind: Kearns, Farr-Jones, Bill Young (I believe) BTW - I'm hoping to post something on the blog soon (an interview with a successful coach) which touches on the schoolboy to pro progression

Just to put the World XV discussion into perspective - the criteria for selection was "must have played at least 3 tests" so DuPlessis would qualify. Baa Baa Team to smash that World XV: 1 Jenkins 2 Du Plessis 3 Castrogiovanni 4 Lawes 5 Nallet 6 Elsom 7 Pocock 8 Chabal 9 Weipu...

Well I guess rugby could be a difficult game for some to grasp.....maybe that is why it thrives more at private schools :fishing
