Does anyone know who the mob are that are recording the games? They look like some sports science/ analysis group.

More to follow, but as other posters stated Knox 15 - Cranbrook 9. I imagine Cranbrook would be looking forward to hosting Knox. In many ways it was theirs to win - Knox gave away a lot of penalties, left a few tries behind due to poor handling. The closeness of the score made the game tense and...

From the Tah's last night what chances of having Hooper in if only so he could cover a back at a pinch - have a 5/2 bench?? He seems that he could easily be a 12 or a winger as he does have some pace. Not sure about his passing though - if he could pass - say in the George Smith way he would...

Lee, I will try to get to the Knox/ Cranbrook game and will write up a report. I can't promise anything, but hopefully I will have something to show.

Tenacity, Discipline, Commitment and taking opportunities The above are some ideas that will should have been drilled into some teams this week. On paper, at least two of the games this week should easy wins. But I think there should be some close, entertaining and interesting games. The...

I think he should be judged on what he does to the Rugby program at Knox. He is still in early days, and in spite of the results of the 1sts, purely on percentage games won against all other grades, Knox isn't doing that bad this year in the CAS. And it is good that he is still wanting to...

No idea. Can't find any mention of a result anywhere. I am guessing a possible forfeit, but could be wrong.

Thought I would start a thread to allow people to recommend good places to watch the Lions. Apart from going out to the actual matches of course. It is also to nominate those few proper Rugby pubs in various parts. The places that will still show a game of Super Rugby in spite of the...

A somewhat delayed review of the Aloy’s / Knox game. And the weather does exaggerate the time as Saturday was a glorious day to both watch and play Rugby. And so I found myself at the quite quaint Aloysius field at Willoughby. Though not as grand nor spectacular as other grounds, the Aloy’s...

Knox 34 - Aloys 21 5 tries to 2. Entertaining with Aloys in it for the most part. An extended report later. Comfortable victory to Knox in the seconds

My tipping for this weekend. I think Barker will go on their merry way and beat Waverley. But it may be close. (And in saying that I think the federal election this year may be close.) I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a little heated. I haven't seen Waverley and their backs are always...

Some of my thoughts. I thought Trinity played a rather basic game, but to their strengths. It was probably their bigger forwards used to effect at close range that won it in the end. This tired the Knox side, but I also think Knox still have fitness issues. As if they were fitter earlier in...

Does anyone know if it is possible to download all the scores, results, stats and the like for this year's Super Rugby? I want to practise some database skills and so why not on something useful, important, fun and interesting like rugby material. Thanks

For what it is worth my tips for the day. In the match of the round I think Barker will get up over Cranbrook. Not sure about Waverley at Knox, but Waverley should have the home advantage, but Knox should bounce back from last week. I think Aloys and Trinity will be quite an entertaining...

I thought the Red first half was one of their better this year. The Genia/ Cooper combination very much to the fore. Unfortunately I didn't see the second half. I went to a more than satisfactory local Nepalese restaurant to the pub where I was watching the game. I think I am starting to...

In spite of my earlier post I thought it was a good game to watch - both sides giving it a crack. Does anyone know what has happened to the Chiefs? They seem to have gone off the boil. I tipped them to win going away. You almost thought they were about to lift and put the Force away with a...

Is there a new set of rules the Chief's know and the Force don't? Like at every ruck and maul you can come in at any angle and get away with it. At the mauls the chiefs were obstructing players one or two metres from the ruck or maul. I lost times they joined the maul from the wrong side. But...

One of the first Aboriginal people I ever had a beer with was a rugby player and enjoyed the game. He was part of the defence forces and played sport there. Also, though he was a proud Aboriginal, he saw saw his priorities more Army, Australia, Rugby, his rugby mates and then his current...

And that is the test. The Firsts were the only 'A' side that Barker won against Knox. But Knox always had strong A sides, it was the 1st's that often didn't replicate the A sides results. But for me, the main reason for the change of the Knox 1sts rugby side was that, though the previous...

An excellent report Lee, with good photos to boot. You got the feel of the game well. The Barker fullback did shine, a rugby player of undoubted quality (and not that the other Barker backs weren't lacking there either!). It will take a very good player to keep him out of the rep sides. I liked...
