Slugga, Re your post at #98 - seems the Norths Juniors President had similar concerns / queries regarding the purpose of the NSW Age Championships ( to give it it's correct title, I believe) as you have noted in your last paragraph. Check Fat Cat's post at #426 in early March. The poor old...

Further to Cattledog's post at #470, and without wishing to raise the ire of some of the recent contributors to this thread, I would like to explore the concept of Clubs / Districts having some sort of proprietary "ownership" / entitlement to village club juniors. Having been around the traps...

The nose is twitching............. Maybe some interesting news to come out of the Woollahra bunker shortly.. The Hound

ASICS Player of the Championships - Tom Staniforth from ACT / Southern States. A deserved winner - has been absolutely outstanding in all matches played.

Pigoen just arrived from ACT.......... NSWup 19-6 at half time..... Raining Matt Philp Yellow carded...case of mistaken identity ??? Qld close the gap - 24 - 18 with just minutes to go... And McAlman in next to the posts....8 seconds left... I will let someone else fill in the...

For those interested, some details forwarded to me from a spectator at this afternoon's match.... NSW managed to get up over Tonga 40 - 8, after leading 33-3 at half time. Playing conditions impacted by heavy rain during the match. I'm sure / hope that LG will track down some more relevant...

Hopefully this is the right thread for this......... There are some rumblings coming from quarters suggesting that the ARU might be about to pull funding for the National Under 16 Carnival... If this occurs, what impact might this have on Clubs retaining their 16's age group ?? Will this...

Dave, That presumes the (Grade) Club has put in some hard yards along the way with the Village Club (s).....if not, then I don't believe that they should cry "foul" when Village Club Juniors exiting that system vote with their feet... I am also a strong believer in the "Play wth your mates"...

"why doesn't the NSWJRU have a seat on the board if schools do ? who looks after our interests aside from G&GR" FatCat FC IIRC - Schools and NSWJRU "take it in turns" to represent Junior/Schools rugby on the Board. 2 year stints, I seem to recall. I believe that John Spana, as President...

Noting SS's comments at #201 above, where does this place the SJRU who have previosuly stipulated that they won't be allowing players to "migrate" to other club outside their designated area ? Whilst I am not sure how they actually planned to police this, surely the opportuntiy of providing a...

Or the supply to the teams of XXXL shirts.........I know there are some big lads out there, but that seems a bit over the top ! Perhaps the intern doing the ordering doesn't have children......

There have been quite a few points mentioned above re Saturday / Sunday rugby issues..........some of which I accept & some of which I don't - having been through the whole period as one of the "club volunteers" mentioned by HJ..........and I have the BBQ hands to substantiiate same ! Two...

Gents, Might pay to keep eyes & ears open tomorrow (Wed) morning........

PaddoG Perhaps rather than suggesting that Shore "blinked", it might be more helpful to see the comments passed by the Headmaster as a suggestion as to how they could all seek some way of moving this whole beast forward, rather than slowly sinking into the inevitable quagmire... ? Not a bad...

Disappointing to see that the ARU still have the 2012 Aus Schoolboys team up on their website, instead of the 2013 team. Oh well, they might get them up in time for 2014 as it's just around the corner......

A snout has indicated that the Shore Headmaster has written an interesting letter to the parents. As I have only been "told" about it third hand, I don't believe it is appropriate to starting "quoting" from it - to ensure that facts don't get in the way & muddy the waters of a post ! Anyone from...

Summary of last couple of tweets from Wales as the match nears the final whistle........... Reserves on for Aus...Linesman in, another penalty against Aus; penalty kick misses, but they get another penalty a few moments later; Deegan rushes up on the 10, but he gets the ball to the 12 who...

This from the man on the scene a moment ago.... "Awesome play from the Aussies & we score in the corner again. No conversion. Now down 12-19.... Wounded down everywhere !"

Wales now up 19-0 after a sweeping backline move sees them score in the corner. A couple of penalties against the Aus boys, however, they finally get their own penalty , kick downfield gain 40 metres & then get pinged for not throwing the ball in straight. Maybe they aren' used to playing at...

Half time in match vs Wales Score apparently 0 - 14, afetr a penalty try ( from a rolling maul presumably close to the line) & intercept try...... Big backs & ferocious forwards is how the man on the scene described the Welsh team.... Penaltycount against the lads in Gold slowly increasing as...
