    Clearly you don’t, or don’t want to say. Either pretty much destroys your credibility. Where are we with your position about ramping up the professionalism now?

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    So you know,but you won’t say. Only one reason for that champ...... I do know the workload these programs require from participants,and have posted details,to support my claims. Instead,all we get from you is a toddler response “because so” Does this latest post mean you’ve moved on from your...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    As I am with you. You keep telling us that you’ve been personally involved in one of these programs. You state unequivocally that the load is not onerous,yet when asked details of when/how often/how long, you deflect. The only possible reasons to deflect,are either you don’t know,or you do,and...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Really,the best you can do is a mindless schoolboy taunt? Not much value for money in that education.... Your the one calling for this comp to be more professional. I’m saying the workload now is too much. I note,that again,you avoid listing the current number of sessions,and their duration...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    It’s telling that you choose not to outline the number of sessions and their duration. then add 2 hours a day minimum,as you say no one lives near their schools anymore. Make up you mind about professionalism,a page or so ago you were talking about beefing up the comp with ring in’s all over...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    That's the entire point. Its NOT ok for the top sides to be more professional. Newington literally bussed in an entire squad to represent them a few years ago. What's the point of that? Other Schools have equipment that most professional teams do not have for their full time professional...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Undoubtedly the School that cheats gets a benefit. However, the association clearly believes that the practice does not improve their competition. Apart from bragging rights,many recruits get very little benefit. Many are already in the League system,and “improving” their Rugby skill is of no...

    New gets a mention because they were outrageously breaching the rules. Justifying what they did,by recalling incidents from 40 years ago is the poorest of arguments. Your overall comments about turning kids into pro athletes at 16 are obscene. The glory of the School,trumping the needs of...

    No need for the attitude champ. If we were to judge what you knew from your posting history. There’s only one person to blame,if it’s assumed that you know very little about the subject matter.

    No you can’t regulate it at all ! It’s been “regulated” for generations. The regulation is zero. Men of poor faith have abused these regulations for years. Why will people willing to cheat,stop cheating if the bar is moved slightly? One of these Schools hired 6 kids in yr 9, for a...

    I’ve seen coaches set up skills stations at every training session,then when they do ball work as a team,it’s clear there is no role for the skills they’ve just been practicing. How the you get coaches more focused on improving skills,rather than winning at all costs is the big question.

    Dubai 7s - 2018

    there were 5 girls with 4 or less caps, so it’s expected that none of them are the finished product, there was a huge variance in performance amongst them. The problem is most of the remaining 7 which should be the backbone of the side,have too many individual weaknesses. Of those 7,Caslick,Du...

    I actually think they are coaching the skills out of them, in the “professional” philosophy of reducing errors.

    Dubai 7s - 2018

    The last 4 games, The semis 3 v 4 Final Were all unbelievable contests. Oz couldn’t have impressed me more. Be interesting to see what sort of depth is in the squad,as injuries inevitably kick in. The girls on the other hand couldn’t have been more disappointing IMO. Their finishing position...

    Someone needs to give her a copy of the org chart. Just cos Cheika tells her he’s the boss, it’s not necessarily so.... Cancelling the call certainly makes it look like she’s subservient to him.

    The timing is always the issue The times not right until the coach has clearly failed, I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt,until this tour. He’s given up on improving them,now he’s excusing them. But I’m not sure anyone coming in has enough time. Interesting that this job in particular...
