    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    These days that is one major concern I have; the success of a rugby program is based only on one team - the 1st XV. At school level rugby should still be a sport, an extra curricula event. The school's program should be about inclusion and getting the best out of what they have, the individual...

    CAS Rugby 2013

    Managed to find this.......and it looks like I answered my own rhetorical question. (Well done me!) Cliff Oval.......no idea where that is. (Or why they are playing there, perhaps they don't want to damage the main oval at Knox...or they are using it for something else? ) They may be hoping...

    I believe Knox is having a trial against Marist Canberra this Saturday. As to where and when I have no idea.

    Waratahs 2013

    I am throwing some thoughts and vague ramblings out there,but.... Looking at some of his play I am pondering if having Hooper in the side, the tahs could have a 5/2 bench. That said his catching and passing may not be the best, but it looks as though he could play in the centres at a...

    The dying - perhaps death - of Rugby in Australia.

    From the games I have seen of league so far the salient points are: the game is only there to provide another opportunity for betting, the coverage is full of dramatically exaggerated hyperbole ramming personalities and manufactured history down viewers', readers' or listeners throats (eg SBW...

    Brumbies 2013

    I think the issue with White was that he got injured and missed the series...though I am not sure whether he was told to go and have surgery etc. Having missed the chance, Phipps got chosen and it followed from there. Robbie Deans seems to be loyal to his players...or some of them. And perhaps...

    Rebels 2013

    How are people seeing the use of the bench at the Rebels? Are they lacking depth and thus don't use them that much? I would have thought that in the last game some fresh players coming on at the end could have helped. For example the half back, though he had a good game, a fresh player in that...

    Reds v Waratahs, rd2 SR2013

    Two things to enthuse about this game. It was an un-Australian derby...quite open and the intention of both sides was to attack. The additional game that Qld had last week did help them, but I also think they will improve. NSW? A lot to like there... They will get better.. Folau isn't their...

    Brumbies v Reds rd1 SR2013

    I thought both sides were one or two trial games off from putting on a more complete and less unstructured game. That said, I think it was more intense than the Rebels/ Force game, which may have lead to the error rate. The Queensland attack seems a little off...they were on the cusp of...

    Rebels vs Force, RD1 SR2013

    Though a fair few mistakes, it wasn't a bad game in my opinion. Not the usual dirge Australian derbies become. Both sides would hope that they have some improvement in them going forward I would imagine.

    Rule interpretation - Rebels vs Force Rd1- Higginbotham's sinibin..

    Was that why he was sin binned? I thought the touchie came in for a bit of big at an earlier ruck, very close to the side line, not where the actual penalty kick was taken. But I may be wrong..often am!!!

    Rule interpretation - Rebels vs Force Rd1- Higginbotham's sinibin..

    I may be totally off the point, but could someone please clarify the penalty in the case of Higginbotham's sin- It isn't due to the actual sin binning, but where the resultant penalty kick was then given. The force got a penalty in front of the goal posts. A penalty kick was decided, then...

    CAS Rugby 2013

    Term 2: in the days of three terms or four terms? I may be showing my age there... And with the training starting this early, Matt Williams time could probably be better spent training the coaches up at Knox. If nothing else get their standard up and get a consistent style of rugby across the...

    CAS Rugby 2013

    But when you consider the possible scholarship participants at other schools and the composition of the 1st XV at those places, similar money would have been spent there.

    Not sure whether this has been posted elsewhere, but I found it quite amusing. (Hopefully it works....)

    CAS Rugby 2013

    Isn't galah day the first game of the year for Knox? And I thought they generally played a non-CAS school, it has been Oakhill for a while now. Though things can change I guess, and there may be a few games before then, as May does seem a late start for the rugby season.

    Who should be the next ARU CEO?

    I just want to know to what happened to my application. I thought I would have been a lay down misere (just quietly). His resume, in general, makes for good reading. I want someone to take the game forward with competence and confidence. Will need to see what his plans are.

    Though that draw looks suspiciously like 2012. They may not have updated it yet...

    At least you have probably spelled "Grammer" the same way as most of the kiddies up at Knox Grammar. The English teaching up there has never been a strong point...

    Australia v England @ Twickers 17 Nov 2012

    However for some players it seems that they will always have a double tailed coin for the toss up!!!
