As recently as 17/8/12, Growden reported in the SMH: "The Wallabies have sought advice from several AFL big guns to improve their often-flawed aerial work. Former Swans coach Paul Roos has been seen at several recent Wallabies' training sessions helping the players improve their skills under the...

Nor, despite their often frenetic starts, in the 1st quarter. Good attitude in defence all night.

True indeed. It's just that Mitchell had had even less game time than Cooper.

The mockery of that theorem has already been demolished by Mitchell's selection. Geez, I feel for Mitchell's dire run of injuries. Brett Papworthesque in its wretchedness.

After last night's performance, Hooper looks like he'll be a mainstay in the green 'n gold for many years. The Argies v Boks 16 all draw means we cling onto the IRB #2 ranking.

The Wallabies' tactics to win this game were completely unfathomable. Everytime there was even a sniff of a break, before you could even utter kick, possession was again gifted away. Very, Very frustrating. Searching desperately for positives, keeping the ABs to 1 try after giving them so...

Thanks, good news - given that initial indications on Sunday appeared to be worse.

No doubt the increased goodwill between these teams and their spectators is the direct result of the interaction between a number of the boys from these two strong teams playing rep games together. Woodrat, I heard that there were potentially serious injuries to a couple of the Newport/NSW...

I have seen a number of mismatched scorelines in schools/junior matches where the wingers often don't trouble the scorers much. Frequently in such lopsided clashes, everyone from the front rowers to the centres do the bulk of the scoring. There being no pressure from the defence in the middle...

Fred, enjoyed a number of points in your post. The sentiment "practice makes permanent" resonates. On a side note, I'm interested to know which teams are depicted in your avatar.

My experience when talking to Joeys' old boys is that it undeniably hurts. However, until such such time as the rest of us have so many glory days to recall (not in my lifetime) we can't deny them their justifiable pride at what has been achieved. So long the benchmark & if other schools are now...

Angrydog, whilst I don't profess to know whether we're witnessing an irreversible trend from Joeys' historical pre-eminence, I recall Baldingwingforward's inciteful post in the GPS 2011 thread that probably contains more then a few grains of truth. To recall, he said: "Baldingwingforward: This...

City has prevailed over Country 19-12. As the scoreline indicates I've been told that it was a very willing and tight contest. Unfortunately, I coudn't be there. Rugby Mum or anyone else who saw the game, a match report would be appreciated.

The country side is: Alec Corcoran Andrew McDonald Bailey White Ben Allen Ben Gunter Cameron King Duncan Woods Harry Holmes James Hawkins John Seabrook Josh Doonan Kayden Ramplin-Smith Liam Baker Mark Binge Matthew Bertalli Max Stewart Nick Finney Pernell Filipo Phillip Bradford Reece Hewitt...

The coach is Matt Barlow from Easts.

I've been informed that the Sydney boys had in the vicinity of a 10 tries to nil victory over the Japanese touring side at Trinity this morning. Apparently, the Japanese were unable to compete with the size/mobility of the Sydney forwards & the backs had a field day. The country boys certainly...

Thanks, that was my intended point. It appears far from certain that Foley will be coaching the Tahs next year & expediency will dictate the move of one or both parties.

Is that the same security the Force achieved with Richard Graham signing "on the dotted line"?

It seems as though it's often the uncited reason that is the main motivation for a player to stay/move on. Is this the clearest sign yet in this sea of uncertainty that the announcement of the new coach is imminent? IMO TC is entitled to feel justifiably peeved at his treatment this year as...

Thanks, will be interesting to see the return clash with sides hopefully at full strength.
