That was quick, but not entirely unexpected. Spin the chocolate wheel to see who is available. With RWC 4 years away, some top notch coaches may be keen to take on a challenge, with a chance of picking up a RWC 19 gig in a year or two, or to resurrect their career following a post RWC15 sacking.

^^^^ You said, you'd pay. Send a Purchase Order number to keep the transaction above board, and then I can send the invoice for services rendered. :)

That is probably why the locked him in with a Supplementary Squad contract (whatever that is) straight out of school. For all those who whine about "the pathway", or lack thereof, here is a case that seems to show that it is working. I can only think that many of the complaints about "The...

Happy to oblige @Dave Beat. Send me your Purchase Order number :) If the "powers that be" don't lurk here, then some of our lurkers let the "powers that be" know pretty quickly, especially when their mob may have been disadvantaged. As Paul Keeting would say,as he quoted Jack Lang, ''In the...

How good is it to have some actual debate and reasonably informed discussion on the Dark Arts both here and in some match threads?

Grown up footy generally requires specialists in most positions. Schoolboy footy generally doesn't and Notta's rule. Tournament play and maximum squad size encourages the selection of generalists who can play in more than one position, and cover injuries, if needed. Did we play too many...

Line out throwing, lifting/catching/pod work, and calling was rather hit and miss during the Curtain Raiser cup and the Junior Wallaby games before they left Australia. Some good line out merchants were left at home in Team Rehab, or missed out on making the cut for reasons other than their...

Had we managed to keep 15 players on the oval for 80 minutes against the Single Malts, and snuck home for a W with a 4T BP (no guarantee of the 4T BP), we would have finished up on equal points with SAF but may still be in the 5-8 playoffs due to the Saffers having a superior F/A based on their...

Richard Graham was signed through until the end of 2016. Contracts don't mean as much as they used to in professional sport nowadays.

^^^Is there a draw out yet?

Les Frogges nearly won RWC2011 having lost a pool game to Tonga. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. So close.

The way results have been going so far, I wouldn't take anything for granted @Waiopehu OB. Saffers are also in a good space to deliver a BP win as well. Once again the contest for the 4th spot is as tight as a fishes bum. Moan all you like about the 3 pool structure, but the bottom line is...

Loving the latest front page Blog article on the Soap Dodgers scrum tactics, and the return of service from our new English readership. Obviously touched a raw nerve with the English trolls coming out in force with the same fervor as a pack of Kiwis justifying any slight against Sir Richie...

Is that the FT score? Any other deferred game results?

The Soap Dodgers have every right to fear SpiderCam. #ScrumStraightYouBastards

Interesting turn of events if it is true, and in some respects it sounds like a great concept. It could lead to an Arms Race of anomalies. I'm not sure that the Private Schools would be able to commit to an additional 3 weeks of Rugby for their 1st XV's. They transition pretty quickly to...

How do kids playing for another Union get to represent SJRU? Was there a NSW JRU Under 18 State Championship tournament to select the SJRU U18 team from? I recognise at least one of the names in the SJRU U18s as having played all their rugby for the last two years in the NSW Premiership Rugbu...

The M2B have 6 <7point loss BPs, many of them against top teams in the comp. One day, things are going to click and the M2B will be winning 6 games by <7 points.

^^ the results on the NSW Premiership page have been amended to record a 29-22 victory for the MMM over the M2B in colts 1. My OP has also been edited to reflect the actual result. I think the Saturday night results on the web site (which I use for my posts) are based on results being rung in...
