Correction Jim Stewart and Cliff Palu were training a bit today but also spent some time with the rehab gurus. Fairly recent Team Rehab guys Angus T, Toleafoa and Benn R have come good. TPN is running around now and doing a bit of contact work. Lousi is still injured as is Tomas...

The reason I gave about why they didn't have a bonus point system came from the fellow running 6N. Another variation could be that they have a bonus points system and the usual tie-breakers, but with the proviso that Grand Slam winners always win the competition regardless. mxyzptik - I...

Wow there has been some excellent posts in this thread. Can some folks please put their hands up to do a bit of writing on the Sunwolves ?? 1. A season preview. 2. We don't usually do match reviews that don't involve Aussie teams but we are looking for somebody to do a review of their...

Have just noticed there was this 6N thread. I wrote something in the Northern Hemisphere thread so I will quote myself here. OK hands up guys. Thanks LG .

Wow - interesting stuff in there mxyzptik - so are you able to watch 6N rugby in your neck of the woods?? 6N are against bonus points because teams either have two games at home and three away — or vice-versa. They think that the teams with three home games in any year have an inherent...

Once I wrote that somebody was singed and some smart arse replied that he hoped the guy had recovered from his burns. There is a preview of Six Nations here: http://goo.gl/OWCqfQ Give it a click. We're intending to write some brief reports of the three games every week - just 400 words...

I hear that the Reds trial coming up is being streamed, and Rugby Reg is commentating, but don't know any other details. Nothing in RedsTV yet. .

I hear that the Brumbies v Tahs trial is being streamed - if anybody knows the details please advise here. .

Yeah it's a 3 way trial of three "halves". The third team is the Tahs U19s which I suppose has all the U19s still in the Tahs U20s in it, plus those who have done some training with them but have been cut. Mind you the NSW U20s have more U19 props than U20s so they may have to play with the...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And a really humble bloke who resembles David Pocock in that way. .

Anybody going to the NSW U20s 3 way trial on Sunday? SUNDAY, 7TH. FEBRUARYJohn Dwyer Oval, Burraneer11.00am Waratahs U20 v. NSW Country U20 v. Waratahs U19 (3 way) I will be at the Sevens so I can't go, but I would like to read reports of the days events - who played well etc etc. Scores...

I've written most of this before: The round robin Super Rugby U20 comp will be held from Rd 1 to Rd 5 of Super Rugby and the two teams with the best results will play a final in Rd 6. There will be no more Super Rugby U20 games after that. The squad for the FORU (or Oceania) games at Bond is named about...

Somebody asked if a thread for trials should be set up. I didn't think there'd be enough traffic for each trial so I said I would start up one for all Aussie trials. Maybe it's a wrong call but here it is. From a Waratahs' point of view I think they are considering the second and third...

OK - I still haven't looked at my photos and may adjust my list when I do, but I doubt if I will be more than 2-3 out. There are 36 not 34. LHP Jordan Lotoaniu * Harry Johnson-Holmes Vuni Fifita Hookers Ed Craig Declan Moore Tom Horton THP Sean Dillon Sama Malolo Harry Chapman 2nd Row...

There is a blog on the signing of Hegarty here: http://goo.gl/oVQ2Ro Give it a click. And Highlander35 - Hegarty confirmed that Gerard loves it in Japan. .

Was at NSW U20s today. Will give the names of the people remaining that I saw today, later tonight - though some could be absent and still in the squad. I think it was 34 but will have to look at my photos to see if I missed anybody. It's confirmed that Jack Clancy has ruptured an ACL...

Key signing announcement tomorrow.

There are precedents of a kind for using players for U20s tournaments that could not be eligible for Aus Under 20s in that year. Earlier in the thread we discussed schoolboy players being chosen in the Australian Barbarians selection tournament in Adelaide in 2015 yet they would not have been...
