    Tier 3.5 - An Alternative NRC

    I was somewhat bemused by how the letter was so poorly written/structured. It was way too long and I had difficulty ascertaining what was being suggested other than a rerun of Back to the Future. I am really surprised that so many reasonably educated people supported it. Frankly, I hope Bill...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    Full stadium in Perth for the league test. Have some thoughts and will post after some research.

    All-Time Crim 1st XV

    Fair comment - my atheist inner voice was talking - my wife's family are all tithed to their churches.

    Liking McKenzie at first five at this level.

    All-Time Crim 1st XV

    Dismal, I question Steve Pokere's inclusion as surely that was a victimless crime?

    NSW Primary School Rugby teams

    Aust Rugby could think about throwing resources at a few areas of potential - like Blacktown/Mt Druitt and get those PI and Sudanese boys engaged.

    Aussie Player Exodus

    Having watched a couple of Bordeaux games would have Luke Jones in the first 23 (could have been coached better?) but my overall feel is that this demonstrates how that the concept of 5 Aussie teams is doomed when so many go overseas.

    Sydney Subbies 2016

    Possibly a little bit of theatre here. Subbies knows that Lindfield is one of the strongest districts in Sydney and will survive - majority of players are local boys - just look at reaction on their facebook. Seems like justice being meted out to a club that can handle it. I find it hard to...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Noticed that. Very weird - possibly other issues involved. PS nice to have some new blood in the hotel - the older ones were starting to get a bit stale.

    Re Lindfield Press Release | 26th August 2016 Players, Supporters, Sponsors, and Members of the Lindfield Rugby Community, Last night our appeal was heard before the Board of the NSW Suburban Rugby Union. While their decision was reserved on the night, we are confident the Board now has...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Re AAGPS - I thought there had been some sought of tacit agreement of no anomalies in enrollments after year 9 - hence more windbreakers, sunglasses, and clipboards at the PSSA rugby carnival.

    In which case - more than scary! Anyway good game underway.

    Listening device found in All Black hotel

    Does this augur the return of the cone of silence?

    NZ Domestic Rugby Competitions 2016

    WOB, I'm watching some pretty good rugby so far (which as ever is scary for an Aussie supporter). What sort of player retention rate are these teams getting from one season to the next - 60-70%?

    Rio Olympics

    In October 2009 Brazil was rated Ba1 by Moody's (ie sub-investment grade), hardly an economic powerhouse. Now rated Ba2, so haven't really fallen off a cliff either. Smells more like dodgy IOC decision making.

    Rio Olympics

    Ok - interesting to have post battle, but enjoyed only having to listen to one version of God Save NZ (Sevens is good with the time thing).

    Rio Olympics

    Only one rendition of Kiwi anthem before game and no Haka - IOC obviously didn't get memo from NZRFU.

    Shute Shield 2016

    Congrats to Norths - big win well deserved. Big shout out to Malcolm/Prue Sinclair with two sons out there that both played juniors with my guys at Lindfield. Big proud parent day. Edit: 28-15 with late converted try Edit 2: unfortunately Shore lost
