Sorry to be a broken record but we are still looking for a writer to do reports on some of the Cranbrook games. Anyone?? Please send me a convo. Thanks .

There is a blog on the game here: http://goo.gl/PhiNWl More great photos by HJ Nelson .

I'm not Hans, but yes, he did. .

Andrew Deegan was in the Joeys Ones for three years (a team mate of Neddy Hanigan) and was in the Aussie Schools Firsts in 2013. Last year he played for Randwick, sometimes at fullback in First Grade' He was in the NSW U20s last year and got picked for the Bond camp, but was one of the six...

Hanigan and Paia'aua would have been due to miss this one and the absence of Korczyk and Magnay (with his head knock recently) can be explained. I'm wondering why Sione T hasn't got a run yet. It's good to see Jack Redden play in his best position of inside centre and link again with Alex...

Jack's great-great-grandfather and Ben's great-grandfather were brothers. I've got no clue as to what kind of cousin that makes them. .

This is the Aussie seconds as it should be. Not too many surprises though I thought that 2. FF (Folau Fainga'a) would be the premier hooker before this tournament, though I always rated CMcI in my posts. I wouldn't be surprised if Yassmin got elevated to starting wing against NZ - he is a cracking player. I...

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate - that is outstanding and it didn't need any editing - which is plain showing off if you ask me. Smarten up mate - put in the odd comma in the wrong place or the odd mistake. You have been warned. .

Okeydoke - will have a look soonish.

I doubt if the size of the packs in the ERCC Final would scare too many down here. Quality is another matter. Sometimes I jot down the weights of the packs of the Aussie teams. Last weekend The Brumbies pack weighed 929 kgs - and their opponents, the Waratahs weighed 927 kgs - that's a...

The flying wedge law is loosely defined - or was the last time I looked. It looks OK and swims OK but it doesn't quack in practice. Hands up those who have seen a flying wedge pinged recently. There are laws and there are conventions of referees, which are quasi-law. The convention of...

If the Knox players, with the ball carrier in front, lets call them a "tank", did not contact a Barker player it is not a maul because you need an defender to make it such. They could have walked up to the Barker goal line and dotted down. If the ball had been moved back it is still a tank, as...

As I said in the blog of the game - if the selectors don't pick Mitchell and Giteau they are barking mad. Rebels v Chiefs I'm a glad that it is so but weren't the Chiefs dudded in Melbourne? About on the 30 minute mark the Chiefs went over for a try with the ball carrier in front - what...

Wow that's a great post mate. How about you recast that as a blog? I can add photos and all that stuff. There would have have to be a title to it and a theme - not this is in an "answer to people putting down NH rugby"" blah blah but something like "a comparison of NH and SH rugby" or "What...

I put up a blog of the ERCC final yesterday. http://goo.gl/855wG1 A few punters here derided the standard of the competition and scoffed at the selection of someone like Ali Williams as man-of-the match, in "Discussion". It thought the rugby was of a high standard. .

How good is Akira Ioane? There must be some recent YouTube about him. Why have the Force lost ten in a row after they did so well last year? .

Green and Gold Rugby report here: http://goo.gl/SGn7ND .

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He went off early and was replaced at 7 by Olly Kamp, who did OK there incidentally. .

Secret Squirrel says Sam Croke, Jack McCalman and Henry Hutchison (obviously recovered) are all on the plane for Queensland tomorrow. .

You can watch it again on the Oceania site. It has a re-watch button. I don't know if you can demand it any time or if it can be re-watched only when scheduled - but it has just started as I write this. .
