Massive crowd have turned up. great to see. Horrid scrum tho.

Yeah I heard Newport are losing players to other clubs. Previous president must be fuming.

I notice Bobbie Dwyer is getting his knickers in a knot re the lack of funding that is going to the Shute Shield clubs viz the new TV deal. At a high level I tend to agree as historically a large chunk of these clubs spent most of their allocation on paying over the hill mungos and other...

Great day. Wondeful advert for the game. The security was a bit ott and the beer queues were a disgrace as usual especially when the school trust that after waiting in line for 45 mins we could only buy 2 fucking mid strength beers for 8 bucks a pop. Fucking scg trust out do themselves...

Sadly the two Blues were horrid in the final so maybe a good thing it wasn't shown. The wicks had some pace and carved the tbs up from start to finish.

We have a bus of 24 going. Dads, wives, kids all in dress up kit. Tickets dont state what time it starts but gut feel is the Sydney 7s will be a much bigger success than many think. Also should provide some nice momentum into the start of the Super Rugby tournie and Shute shield in syd. This...

After speaking to a colleague of mine who plays for them, it appears old ignatians are licking their lips at the prospect of playing in division 3 next year. Hopefully bee croft are a match for them

The first 8 pages of Sydney's smh today is all rugby including a full page bmw add with a few of the boys in their livery If we progress deep into the tournie, the exposure will be massive and should have positive ramifications for sponsorships and hopefully grass roots

5 1/2 pages of rugby coverage in today's Sydney morning herald. What happened with Georgina Robinson?

Same with the northern beaches plenty of pubs and clubs showing the game with good crowds. I hear the Ivanhoe was chockers

I would have thought a focus on the u18 team would be vital to ensure junior club players ease into colts. Neither Eastwood or easts mention what they are doing in that space. I think it's a vital level to develop for a lot of reasons including a way to keep the filthy mungos away from our up...

Can I also comment that it was worth every single second (and broken bone!)

My neck blows up a treat on occasion and the old back winces at the very thought of packing down a scrum. I definitely do not miss playing in my old age!

Great to see channel nein advertising the rugby during the mungos tonight. Massive exposure. I'll also note that the nrc is being televised in nz and South Africa. I hope fox were paid well for it

Do you think that maybe once the French could make an effort at developing their own players? They d be lucky to have 100 top flight players running around in the top 14

Even knowing the score, I choked up watching that last try. There will be more upsets in this and future World Cups as the professional game and demand for players grows. My son asked me why Japan won and I told him they trained hard, had a game plan, executed, and worked harder than they ever...

Rays crowd reported as 2000. Slightly disappointing. I know a lot of my chums couldn't make it for various reasons. Not sure how that compares to last years opening game.

Heavy d you are right. Bobs had a massive win over unsw today. Hills have really stepped up to div 2 this year.

Any idea what the crowd at the game was?

I'm going to say it... I was at the Sydney Easter show today for some god unknown reason. The amount of slack jawed, no tooth inbreds ( and mostly obese) wearing certain jerseys today was astonishing. Thank god for rugby.... My god I am still stunned...
