    Rugby News from unexpected places

    Watching NOLA v SaberCats replay - French ref didn't help continuity with his whistle-blowing - will not appeal to US fans. Was interested to see from FB comments that viewership was quite global (Canada, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Fiji, Dubai, HK, England, Ireland, NZ, & Bungendore on the...

    Terra Wine bar in Tribeca - excellent macchiato. They have a serious V8 machine.

    Waratahs 2018

    Another interesting article by Nick Bishop on moneyball players. Warning - Hooper and Simmons haters will not like it. https://www.theroar.com.au/2018/04/18/michael-hooper-rob-simmons-and-the-fault-line-in-rugby-thinking/ One could argue that the likes of Retallick and Etzebeth are the same but...

    I think AOG is a proponent of tithing as a recognition that everything we have comes from God (my brother-in-law is a member).

    Ouch! https://www.rugbypass.com/news/no-australian-side-can-beat-kiwi-team?utm_source=edm-monday-review&utm_medium=email-news-story-link&utm_campaign=super-rugby Edit: Hoping the Reds can break the 670 odd day drought!

    It hurts when a commentator (Hurr v Chiefs) notes that Angus Ta'avao has been in fine form since arriving at Hamilton.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    The top of Ag in 2017 was indeed a Ms Zhang and she was in year 11 (as were 2-5 below).

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    My understanding is they have to do Ag but used to be able to sit it in year 11. I would suggest somewhere close to zero end up in Ag - their families have done it tough for generations and there is no way 王伟 or 王秀英 are returning to the land.

    Waratahs 2018

    Correction: He is on the team sheet for tomorrow per Uni - so obviously "Not Required".

    2018 TV ratings and crowd numbers

    Does this mean we no longer have to put up with Tubby, Heals, Slats, and Pup - or will they simply transition to Foxtel? Hopefully Brendon Julian is retained.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    JRH is a selective school, ipso facto parents cannot chose this school absent a strong performance in the entrance exam by young 张伟 or 王芳. One could argue their HSC results are poor considering they pick up the best year 6 students.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Is the bigger problem players from a wide geographical area being recruited by junior clubs rather than being recruited by people associated with a school?

    Which don't include the 60+ doing IB (with 85% of class exceeding world average - congrats to an old friend who set up the programme). PS Update for long term hotel residents - Taane Milne had his West Tigers contract torn up last Friday for a second positive drugs test. Edit - a somewhat...

    Sydney Subbies 2018

    Lindfield had 7 debutantes in the 1st grade team last weekend - could be another frustrating year in 1sts for a club that has good depth but lacks certain key ingredients (rugby tourists and islanders). PS At least 5 of the 7 were colts or lower grades last year.

    Waratahs 2018

    Agree on Fitzpatrick. I noted Tolu Latu was on the team sheet for Uni last week but not this week. He must be in the "Not Required" category by Gibson, unless injured.
