Games between Lindfield v Newport have been very willing affairs in this age group for a number of years and produced some high quality clashes, including the last couple of grand finals. These teams have also provided the nucleus for the Gordon and Warringah rep teams, respectively. Given the...

Riverview's 2nds also enjoyed their road trip to Eddies running out winners 44-12.

I like Ben Alexander. Easy for me to say at the moment, I know, I'm not a peeved Brumbies supporter. With the the Wallabies frequently maligned up front he has regularly delivered at the national level in the last 12 months or so. Gotta sympathize with any forward who's interviewed at...

Cheering myself hoarse at the Waratahs' inaugural Super Rugby Final win. Now I'd like to see that. Thanks Hugh Jarse for this thread. I see that you've been fairly indefatigable across numerous threads in the past 24 hours or so, even exceeding your usual prolific contributions. Must still be...

Waverley travelled to Riverview this morning for 1sts and 2nds trials. These scores have been relayed to me across the Pacific & might not be entirely accurate: 1sts: Waverley 10 Riverview 68 2nds: Waverley 7 Riverview 26

Congratulations to the Brumbies on their excellent win over the Sharks & for their historical 7th consecutive away win. Their play is very watchable. White, Fisher, Larkham & all the support staff have done a superb job building the side from where they sat in 2011. A blueprint for other...

Ryan & Betham bringing a lot of passion to the Tahs' jersey, hopefully it's infectious. Volavola & Lucas could be a handful off the bench given that the Cheetahs are conspicuously tiring.

Total Rugby has had some cracking interviews recently with Brian O'Driscoll & one currently showing (on Fox 2) with Jason Robinson. Excellent career highlight clips, including, of Lions games, intelligent questions & articulate answers. Would love to see Rugby HQ adopt similar lengthy style...

I would also like to know what waratahjesus thinks of the early days of the Tahs' 2013 season.

Cut short Friday night drinks to strap myself in for the Tahs' best opportunity to collect a bonus point win in 12 months. Very disappointed with the lack of intensity from the home side in the 1st half. Too many forced passes & frequent ill discipline. Cheika needs to channel some of his...

Tough to watch from a Tahs' perspective. Plenty of positive intent but too many forced passes/errors have led to the 14 points half-time deficit. Those 2 penalty shot misses from McKibbin have certainly hurt. Douglas also very close to crossing the tryline. It's a big IF but if the Tahs can...

Agreed, fp. My mail is that he is likely to be in Canterbury Bulldogs' colours from season 2014; (given the source I'm giving it more weight than a "Wielder scoop"). Still Folau has plenty to play for this year with the potential personal milestone of making the Wallabies to take on the Lions...

The stats might've suggested that this would be ugly but both teams played contrary to those indications. There were a number of aspects of Wallabies' play that were vastly improved from our Parisian pit stop. No doubt it also depends on the opposition but we largely controlled areas of play...

daz,Dan54 & matty_k, Jim Tucker's article in The Courier-Mail: "Kurtley Beale admits he should have gone for goal" vindicates your recollections. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/kurtley-beale-admits-he-should-have-gone-for-goal/story-fn8t8ah6-1226500239874?from=public_rss

We all knew you were just preying on our unfounded pessimism at post #304...

Whilst there was not a lot to like about this contest as a spectacle, the closeness of the scoreline & both sides having to survive separate yellow card periods, created tension throughout. Chances were there for each to snatch victory after the bell. It really looked like the Wallabies were...

Carter misses a field goal in the 85th minute - just off centre. The rank outsiders draw - phew...

It certainly seemed like 5 - only forward passes being the difference. George Smith, Qld did not play SCP. The NSW boys took on SCP at 4pm on the Friday afternoon. They then backed up with their excellent win over Qld at 9.30am on the Saturday before rounding off their campaign with their 12...

Inside Shoulder, Richie's prowess knows no bounds. A Kiwi regaled me with that joke in Port Vila this week!
