Looks like we are once again heading for yet another 5th -8th placing. In its current format, even the pool games are knockout games.

There are a series of Sports High Schools dotted around the State for those that believe sport is paramount. What's more is that they don't come with the heavy school fees requirement that accompany a private school enrollment.

Bloody good thing that the weather bomb happened last weekend not this weekend coming.

If Tuipolotu is actually in Team Rehab, then we may have a real problem on our hands regarding our centers for the next two games. Usually Judiciary hand out sentences based on X weeks suspension on the basis that a player usually plays one game per week. If the usual two weeks deterrent...

Whirled Rugby view the U20 World Champs as a game showpiece and use the occasion to reinforce the current focus points and messages that they are trying to get across to the Rugby Communuty. Last year it was lifting tackles, and the inability to adopt to the new rulings probably cost the...

Probably right ... ... ... But there is a nasty little thing called the AAGPS Code of Conduct that all Heads of School have signed up to. That rather inconvenient little agreement expressly precludes schools from recruiting talented athletes. Hypocrisy 101. The AAGPS is founded on traditions...

Beggar, Fork, Shoot and Pass. Well done to the young Single Malts who are carrying on the grand tradition that the mature Single Malts have established of beating the Men in Gold. Sounds like game 1 of the FORU Tournament at Bond Uni this year against NZL. It is deja vu all over again...

Playford is some sort of marketing guru in Sydney, and is apparently more focused on his developing his business career than his rugby coaching career. He gave good interviews during NRC 2015 though. He'd be a breath of fresh air to the Aust rugby coaching environment if he decided to have a...

I agree @Inside Shoulder that if the School, or Rugby supporters/OBU let it be known that the school would look favourably on talented footballers from Mungoland who wanted to enroll then that would be a real breach of the Cof C. If however the Mungo clubs were silly enough to pay full freight...

Kids drop out, change schools, or get expelled from time to time. Parents move overseas or interstate to create vacancies. They get filled somehow.

Been a while since we've had some decent inter team banter on the Jnr RWC thread. In previous years it's mostly been all about the Jnr Wobs on here. It is a pleasure to have you on here @Highlander. I enjoy reading your contributions. Keep them coming.

But if a third party is paying the bills for a talented athlete to attend a school and the school has not encouraged that in any way shape or form, then is there a breach of the AAGPS Code of Conduct? The mungo clubs could be paying the amount of the school fees directly to the family, so all...

Hugh's Law has been pretty virulent this year, especially for the NSW lads but there's also a few talented Banjolanders still Down Under as well - Mafi, Perese, Alstonville's own Fittock, Illawarra's Hewet to name a few. Having rolled The Darkness at Bond, and being in an "easy" pool (can you...

Surprised that Lukhan L-Tui is being rested for the opening match. The Scots beat the Soap Dodgers and the Azzuri in the 6N this year, and we can't afford to take them lightly. Would have thought he'd get at least 20 minutes off the bench to get ready for the Soap Dodgers and the knockout...

Australia U20 v Scotland 1. Vunipola FIFITA (NSW Gen Blue U20s, Randwick) 2. Jordan UELESE (Melbourne Rebels U20s, Melbourne University) 3. Tyrel LOMAX (Brumbies U20s, Tuggeranong Vikings) 4. Ryan McCAULEY (NSW Gen Blue U20s, Eastern Suburbs) 5. Izack RODDA (Queensland Reds U20s, Easts...

Luke Lough is playing with Sydney Uni Colts. ISA have had a couple of good years recently. Some recent ISA graduates doing well are: J Lough - Has started a couple of games for Gordon 1st Grade this year, NH Rays NRC Development squad last year. N Yeomans - Played NSW U20 Gen Blue this year...

Was the high profile silk suggesting that the next Headmaster should start offering enrollment anomalies to increase HSC & sporting results. If it was just a Silk having a private go at the good Dr V, then perhaps the private conversation should perhaps remain private. I am sure he is not the...

Add complaints about parents, supporters behaviour to the list of not to be mentioned in this thread. If the behaviour was so bad, complaints should be addressed through the Sports Masters.

No more comments on Referee bias, alleged or otherwise even if it is supported by penalty counts or whatever. Posts doing so will be deleted regardless of the quality of the rest of the post.

Did ISA Training go ahead yesterday? It would have had to be skills in the gym and admin only. Drive to and from BMGS would have been challenging. Any snouts or proud parents have an ISA team list?
