    To be fair to the good doctor I recollect Scots only had 6 open teams prior to his arrival. The revamp of their rowing programme occurred under his watch and they are now one of the top 3/4 schools (without a hint of bursaries etc). And this is a sport requiring a big time commitment by the...

    Ok - I was the one that stuffed this up, accusing JD of entering in Year 9 then repeating year 10 (because he was in Yr10 VIII two years). I was, however, able to discover my error from a closer inspection of the AAGPS swimming results and the NSW Rowing site. And the year was 2011.

    Waratahs vs Crusaders 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final

    Talking to folks in Sydney it seems like most were at the game (admittedly a few have selfies with players to prove it). My guess is that the unofficial attendance has reached at least 100,000 and will probably top 200,000 by the end of the year (ala Woodstock).

    Not so quick grasshopper - do not forget that God invented the drop kick for a reason - to take advantage of a gale force win - one simply takes speculative field goals shots from within your own half :rolleyes:

    Waratahs vs Crusaders 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final

    Just watched replay (2nd time) and played the "I only drink when Richie's offside" game. Feeling comfortably mellow at the moment.

    Waratahs vs Crusaders 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final

    Didn't do well on the AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) drinking game and had to revert to "I only drink when Richie's offside game". Went very well. One for the cross code supporters "Where is the SuperXV trophy?" "That's in New South Wales!" PS Cheers to all the other Aussie team supporters for getting on board.

    Waratahs vs Crusaders 2014 Super Rugby Grand Final

    Was at the stadium for game one against the Transvaal Lions way back in 1996. Unfortunately distance prevents me attending tonight for hopefully what will be some sort of epiphany. Will, however, be screaming/swearing as loudly as I did in game 1, wearing my circa 1996 Tahs away jersey. PS Will...

    NFJ was chairman last year when the Shore New mismatch occurred. What did Shore do to be punished so harshly in this report, once again by a New old boy. Have they been attending the PSSA Swimming and offering scholarships to the tall 10 year olds on the odd chance they may 1. do rowing; & 2. be...

    While it may not be close in terms of dimension it is still wrong. Problem is that the good doctor has been somewhat unsubtle in his bid for world domination. Given rugby results this year he really only need 2 or 3 imports rather than 8, likewise in basketball. Talk about using a sledgehammer...

    130 did but you point is valid - harder subjects by and large (with one of two silly exceptions) generate more Band 6s.

    Selection politics and bias, Gold Squads unfairness etc.

    Aka Urban Cowboys - they were quite thick on the ground in the days of 60% tax rates and loss making rural properties for medicos and lawyers.

    Beauty with swimming is that the swimmer can choose how many sessions they want (or indeed need). No exclusion from a team for not putting in - just need to be faster :)
