    Shute Shield 2014

    At le 2 are old family names rather than the two dads variety - a hangover from imperial times :confused:

    A bunch went on the UK trip and have now commenced FT work - assume they may have shifted to subbies (Knox, Mosman and the like). Some are still at Uni - go figure?

    Sydney University Football Club

    Just had a quick look at last year's GF teams and 39 of the 65 players are not running around this weekend (9 from 4ths, 7 from 3rds, 7 from 2nds, and 16 from 1's - 4 reserves included). 14 are in super and 1 in 7's plus a couple of injuries leaves circa 20 guys that have left the club. Not many...

    Shute Shield 2014

    http://sydneyunirugby.com.au/season/team-lists.html Mr Rudd still listed on the wing, which I find disappointing - both of his actions were reprehensible and could have sparked an all in similar to Gloucester/Bath last weekend. Uni have a well earned rep for being smart arses but they are not thugs.

    Willoughby Council Mayoral Candidates response to GRFC

    Promise everything to everybody and worry about the detail later (ie let the GM handle it) - to wit: Sir Humphrey Appleby (Council GM): And to that end, I recommend that we set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms of reference so that at the end of the day we'll be in the...

    Force v Tahs, round 9 2014

    Slight segway but it would seem rugby still has some ways to go in Perth. My nephew (an avid footy fan) is in year 10 at Christ Church (not an enormous school) - he is aware that there is a sport at his school called rugby - he is not aware that his school is featuring in a curtain raiser to the...

    Sydney Subbies 2014

    I was surprised with the results given Bingham year and home game for Convicts (and Colleagues). Harlequins must have a lot of depth this year to beat the Convicts 3rds 54-0. Convicts had 12 reserves listed.

    Shute Shield 2014

    Agree Bruce that it is sad to lose the 3 GF outside backs at the Rebels (plus Inman who didn't feature in last year's GF) but the cupboard isn't quiet bare yet - there are 9 Sydney Uni jerseys in this picture, of whom only one is currently a serious Wallaby contender...

    Sydney University Football Club

    A number of recent ex-students in the mix. Look likes an exclusive club based on the GPS/CAS/Syd Uni College representations - possibly one of those tours that required a loan (evergreen with no interest) from Dad's Bank to top up the fund raising etc. Results where interesting - not in same...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Modern reality seems to be 40,000 at a Sydney A-League game versus 18,000 at Tahs/Reds (sorry mods off topic).

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Just remember that we are still reflecting on provo's cryptic message 1. If not new then certainly much expanded. 2. Not sure 3. A number of possibilities - a. playing race card if anyone questions a King of Tonga scholarship (unlikely); b. New may have evidence of breaches by certain schools...

    Agree. At the risk of being flippant I would suggest Dr Lambert join them (and possible the Kings boys).

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Agree - poorly drafted. I would hazard what they meant to say was: "Consumption of alcohol on GPS grounds is forbidden unless by adults within the confines of an official School function." PS Those Old Boy reunions at GPS games are going to be a different affair going forward (NB statement of...

    Player movements for Shute Shield 2014

    Dan Parks (aka Compass) is my favourite. Born in Hornsby, played for Wests, Easts, and Souths in Sydney, and now has a club in each of the four home nation clubs - Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff, and Connacht, along with Scotland.

    Indeed, Cupertino has been changed to cooperation. I found the following interesting in that non-teachers and basketball receive special mention COACHES All coaches (and particularly those who are not on the teaching staff) should ensure that they are fully aware of the expectations and...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    Same story 5-7 years ago when my guys went through the 15s/16s. The Lindfield teams lost the Priv Sch rock stars but seemingly attracted more of the local high school lads who got dragged along by their mates. Key was to have coaches/managers whose sons weren't Priv Sch rock stars involved in...
