    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ There are 5 teams who play 4 matches each. 5 x 4 = 20 - then divide by 2 because there are 2 teams in each match = 10 games. You can have only 2 games per week so 4 rounds are not enough - you have to have 5. .

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    There can't be any U20 games in Rd 6 of Super Rugby: the final is scheduled for the weekend of Rd 6 of Super Rugby - April 1st and 2nd. It can't be later because the Australian U20 team has to be announced on April 6th. At least that is what is on a spreadsheet I received. It also listed the...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes to both paragraphs, though the fixtures are not finalised and nor is the competition itself confirmed. I think it is at the nudge, nudge, wink, wink stage though - and the announcement of it may wait until the official launch of 2016 Super Rugby competition. But...

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    ^^^^^^ Rapp told me 4.30 pm and I have it recorded as part of an interview; so I mentioned 4.15 in case they start early - but maybe Rapp misspoke. .

    2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

    ^^^^^^^^^ Next week Thurs 17 Dec at the Bus Loop starting about 4.15 pm. It's internal and, in effect will be a selection trial. Tim Rapp told me yesterday that these things are important - that some lads train well but their play is not at the same level, whereas some guys play well but...

    Waratahs 2016

    Not too many users in the NSWRU though some have been known to have a shandy or two - and some are rumoured to use the hard stuff - gin and whisky. When I first saw Sio he was playing no. 8 for CAS at Knox before he switched to prop in the same game. Therefore I thought he could be a hooker...

    Waratahs 2016

    ^^^^^^ Good thoughts there Hawko. Sometimes reserve players never get an opportunity in the main team because the incumbents stay healthy - then when they do get a chance, say, when the Tahs played the B&I Lions - you can see the quality. But they need regular play and take their licks to...

    Waratahs 2016

    Ned won't be a second row in Super Rugby. He will be a 6 that can play lock sometime in the game if needed. The young second rower to look forward to in future years is young giraffe Ryan McCauley who was a 2015 Schools player and was training with the Tahs today. He needs a lot of work on...

    AUSTRALIA U17 7's WaggaWagga December 5 & 6 2015

    Slim, I read somewhere else that the Tassie girls had a team at Wagga - do you know if they competed? The reason I ask is that I have a good photo of a few of the Tassie girls that I would like to use. If there are teams of U17s, boys or girls, that are not in the programme pages, please...

    We have access to quite a few photos now; so unless you have a premium image don't bother sending any in. But please put some in some info on the tournament if you have any eg - scores that you know - who won the three competitions etc - some background guff - and don't forget yarda yarda...

    AUSTRALIA U17 7's WaggaWagga December 5 & 6 2015

    Is anybody aware of a list of what teams are involved in the U17 boys and girls Sevens at Wagga? I also believe there is a Womens' Open Comp on at the same time in Wagga - anybody have a list of the teams involved in that comp? There are supposed to be 25 teams in total at Wagga for the...

    ARU Junior Gold Cup - National Junior Championships

    Perfect - thanks for posting it. The next step would be to retain the link to NRC teams after leaving school to tie into an U19 team for each NRC squad for curtain raiser games. This would help the scouting effort for state U20s the following year and also to bring forward elite training for...
