    Galloping Greens

    If you close your eyes, you can almost imagine Clint Eastwood & Telly Savalas sitting next to Sailor in the stand, as Donald Sutherland, Gavin McLeod & the tank crew blow their opposition up to the sound of the Mike Curb Congregation and the "Burning Bridges are forever more" theme........

    Shute Shield 2014

    It's a double edged sword, Gaggerlanders...... Until Coaches INSRUCT their players to suck it up & get on with it, until Club management INSTRUCT their Coaches to suck it up and get on with it, until Parents & Spectators LEARN to suck it up & just enjoy watching the rugby on display, nothing...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    Thanks Kiap. Man-flu must have blocked the snout..... Good to see Sthn Hem refs in control though. Let's hope that it will be as entertaining as the current & previous matches have been ! (Kiwis running away from Ireland now - 40 - 23.....) 3 x wins for Sthn Hem teams over their Nthn Hem...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    I hope that they get a decent Referee for the big match - it would be a pity to see it ruined by some northern hempisphere pedantry..... Angus Gardiner would be up for it, I'm sure. (Not sure who the ref will be though, despite lots of sniffing around) The NH ref's seem to have diffficulty...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    Fantastic result for the Young Wobbss !! 5th spot this year.........next year .......another target to get into the top 4. McMahon a sensational Captains effort, led from the front for the entire match. Senior Wobbs.....lets see you run it just as well. The Hound

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    The coverage in Aus has been excellent - the mere fact that they are showing matches live is to be applauded wholeheartedly (IMHO) ! And to "add" the Aus match this Friday - when they didn't have it in their original scheduling ( it would seem) is great too. Maybe people are actually enjoying...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    As the Kiwi commentators suggested, perhaps it wasn't so much for the actual tackle, but the "follow through".........but you are right, there have been far worse incidents let slip through to the keeper..(apologies for the mixed sporting metaphor) I'm not sure excatly what the Ref saw in the...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    Another suggestion that I have heard is “4 pools of 3 teams”, with each team playing every other team from another pool ( to get the 3 matches in for everyone prior to Q/F’s). Not perfect, but a workable alternative. A couple of other matters to consider………. Based on comments above, people...

    Sydney Colts - 2014

    T & F, Believe the issue was that the NSWJRU U11 (?) State Championships were being held at Keirle Park - where the Colts would otherwise have been shifted due to the rain down that way on Friday.

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    Hopefully so HJ, In fact, IIRC no "score" is to be kept as per the Pathwwau guidelines / rules(and certainly wasn't in the 3 (different) Minis competitions that I have experienced over the years since the introduction of "the pathway"). That is not to say that the kids don't have an idea of...

    2014 IRB Junior World Championship – New Zealand

    Wonderful victory for the 20's.....set from an awesome scrum platform - 3 (?)tight heads &plenty of turnover ball too. Both centrest marked pretty heavily...but always great to see wingers & props grabbing the meat pies ! Bring on the Poms on Friday.

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2014

    RM2 (@#1209) Why would it "be a shame" Surely the best team on the day - & on the scoreboard - deserves the victor's spoils ? The lads from Hunters Hill were beaten by a better team - today ; - doesn't mean they can't win the return match. You only have to look at 2013 to observe this...

    NSW JRU State Championships & Representative Teams 2014

    QH, That sort of timing seems logical............( and therefore doomed to instant failure, some might say !) One of the issues that would (probably) be confronted in many local areas, is the "changeover" back to summer sports - with many Council's often demanding 3-4 weeks for the...

    I can't see why not, IS. Other than as posted previously, some parents may then not be quite so sure of obtaining that special wind cheater ! As with most things however, change is a burdensome beast, until there is someone strong enough to tame the beast. And I wish that person / those...

    NSW JRU State Championships & Representative Teams 2014

    "Zones are necessary because the reality is that there is such a wide divergence in quality between the rep teams and even the top 4 teams." IS, I don't disagree with your comments here. That being said, it raises 2 queries for me: 1. If the Zones exist to assist with the grading exercize...

    NSW JRU State Championships & Representative Teams 2014

    GH It would seem that Zones only exist as a further layer in the Rep Pathway selection process. The Zones themselves seemed to have become essentially irrelevant (following Southern & Western Zones relenting to allow their charges to participate in a Sydney wide competition incorporating rugby...

    Schoolboy Rugby Violence

    Understand that some lads are having a 4 week "rest" following the judiciary hearing earlier this week............perhaps it will send a message that such actions will not be tolerated. The next time, it just might be even harsher !
