… and mid-typed - but have no regrets, noregrets: many of us have written worse on the keyboard than your minor gaffe. Many, many moons ago I typed something on the old SAffer Super Sportzone cricket forum. A batsman had been hit by a fast one but he followed up with a boundary. I wrote...

Only if you are a yoga expert. .

A bit late with recommendations for the Tuesday top five, and I haven't seen all the games yet but … Australia looks like the weakest conference in games against teams from the other two conferences - though I haven't done a count. Aus seems to have the weakest group of referees also, though...

Further to my post above (#431) we need more trial information about Newington and Scots.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ But it tends to be top heavy with coaching - and the same with the level of players in some teams (cough, cough). I doubt if there are many schools who get better coaching than Joeys across the board. .

We're doing a preview of the GPS season and want to put against each team how they performed in trials. The details of trials are scattered throughout the posts so if forum members could give just a sentence or two about the trials of the schools they follow it would be appreciated. Include...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agree - it's bad enough in the GPS which has a separate Thirds/Ones competition - and who can say who the stronger/weaker teams are going to be when the draw is made?? There are excellent reports on two of the games by new writers "rod skellet" and "Tah Men" here...

No wonder he was the Oz Schools run-on scrumhalf at 16 years-old.

I went out to Joeys to see the game against Oakhill - I could have got the best seat in the house - there was nobody there. I'm not having a great run in this regard: I went to see the Tahs play the Rebels and showed up at Allianz at Moore Park on Anzac Day. Got there early but the members car...

I thought it was a "quick throw" because it wasn't a quick lineout. A lineout, quick or otherwise, needs at least two players from each team and it wasn't the case. The Blues accidentally had two in it - there was the would-be tackler and the fellow at the back, who was talking to five other...

GPS match reports 2015 We are still looking for writers for the reports we do every weekend. We have no writers at all for Newington or Scots and in the cases where we have only one writer for a school we'd like to have a second one to spread the load of the five home games. So if anybody...

OK guys let's stop talking about foul play, It's had a good run - future posts on the matter will be zapped. The same goes for strident posts about fighting on the field - that can go viral with posters who saw it and others who also saw it and said something different happened. According to...

RedsHappy The Aussies in the second half were OK and outscored the Kiwis - not that it mattered in the end. If you don't think much of Kellaway from that one game it is fair enough but compared to whom playing against the Kiwis? Agree with your comparison of the two teams—and also with...

Thompson will be looking for bulk against the South Africans and the other games are just the entrees. I think he will want Lolo F in the back row for them, likely at 8, and I wouldn't be surprised if, despite his smaller scrapbook, Kamp is the no.7. The odds are against it because he has...

Thanks guys. The NSW inclusions and exclusions I heard yesterday were spot on. Davis didn't make the NSW team but he did well enough when called in for the Oceania tournament and good luck to that fine young man. I didn't think of Quick but Yassmin has been unlucky with selections and game...

I'm hearing some info about the final team from the squirrels - with some surprises - but please don't declare what you know, or think you know, before the team announcement. Thank you .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is spot on kiap. I was sitting next to a bloke from one of the NZ rugby unions (in the junior area) at a Bledisloe match - in 2010 I think. Oz Schools may have been playing in the curtain raiser. We talked about how the NZ and Aussie Schools teams were...

Round 13 How good was that Whitehouselock try? There has to be a YouTube on it. How influential is Nadolo now? Nobody was second guessing the Waratahs when they let him out of their stable, because he wasn't a real footie player then and had trouble with his hands and making decisions in...

Good to see Sandell back. I found out recently that he had a groin niggle but was asked not to disclose it. McInerney didn't blow my socks off in the first game but neither did FF (Folau Fainga'a) in the second. The future career of Hanigan (correct spelling ARU) will be on the blindside flank, or...

^^^^^^^^ Are Third and Quick actually in camp does anybody know - for sure? Or was there info in this thread about it - or was it just assumed?
