IMO if Deans was coaching the All Blacks the latter would still beat Australia. It's a matter of conjecture that Australia would get closer under another coach , but talent/ability/depth are definitely in favor of the AB's.

Sounds like a rhetorical question.

1st colts Uni 39 Norths 21 a fair indication of the two teams. Norths tried hard ,but Uni had just too much class , particularly in the backs.

I see you're supporting Eastwood these days.

They are not "new players" if they have been attending Trinity & playing Rugby for them for the last 1-2 years. Your post suggested you knew of players who have recently enrolled at the school & would be seen for the first time next year , which is why I enquired who they were. It's apparent...

So in fact as far as you know they haven't " received a number of new players ", which is the opposite of your first statement.

Who are the number of new players that you know of ?

Latukefu had 2 years in Wests colts & a year in grade , prior to playing with Parra.

In 1929 in a club game between Northern Suburbs & Western Suburbs at Concord Oval , the police had to close the gates for safety reasons , the crowd being in excess of 11,000 . This remains the record crowd attendance at a suburban ground ( ref. "Against All Odds " Harry Kimble ) That was then ...

I thought last years grand final was a pretty good spectacle , as was the atmosphere ,with decent supporter numbers for Eastwood ,in particular , & Uni . I think it is a good size ground for a Rugby grand final , plenty of seats close to the game , & adequate parking , & the pitch is one of...

I agree with an 8 team concept as it maintains interest right up until the last round & beyond for a greater number of supporters & players .This interest would be non existent for many under the old format .There are only 5 teams with a positive for & against ratio in first grade , so are you...

I think it was Parramatta 29 Wests 22 which would put Wests on 32 points with Easts.

To those people who equate playing for Sydney Uni with gaining degrees , you should know that anyone can play for Uni , i.e you don't have to be a student to play for the University Rugby club .This is in contrast to days gone by when one had to be attending Sydney Uni as a student there to play...

No, I am referring to the colts teams only , not the grade teams.

An alternative proposition is to have clubs who are clearly not up to the required strength , play in the sub district competition for a year or two perhaps , to develop their talent pool & increase numbers , & when they have shown that they have developed to the necessary level , promote them...

You cannot introduce a draft system as all players are not under contract , others are only semi professional .Hence the governing bodies in Rugby Union don't have the control over players that the AFL has over theirs , & aren't entitled to direct players where they must play. The "points...

I anticipate changes to the structure of next years Colt's competition.

The medial & cruciate ligaments are two different entities.
