Augs lost all the A games v Newington plus 1sts and 2nds 16As was close - 7-0 to Newington, 14As 29-22, but all other games quite one-sided to Newington. Pius played the Bs fixtures and I think that they won most of these, but all were reasonably close. Pius 1sts played Newington 3rds and...

How do you score 7 tries and get to 50? 7 x 7 = 49 (or it did when I went to school) :) Penalty goals/Field goals?

Scores from Stanmore 1sts New v Augs 43-0 to Newington, some scintillating backline play 2nds New v Augs 50-17 3rds New v Pius (1sts) 12-50 4ths New v Pius (2nds) 14-14 5ths New v Pius (3rds) 42-14 16A New v Augs 7-0 and extremely hard fought game with the winning try coming in the...

We were, but then you seemed to imply that people should consider the other sides costs when deciding whether or not to take court action. If you and Ralene are correct and RA are right in what they've done, then it won't cost them anything as Folau and his supporters would most likely have...

Sounds like even the commentators have become bored with Super rugby. What next, Tony Johnstone falling asleep during a Crusaders victory?

Fortunately the law only judges cases on their merits, rather than whether one of the parties is nicer than the other.

No, it's now a legal battle. It's professional sport and it's a business and as many of you are fond of saying, it's all about employment law and contracts. He's entitled to pursue his legal rights in exactly the same way that RA are.

I think he'll be funded by supporters. My guess is this will go as far as the Courts will allow it to go. For sheer chutzpah, the comment of the day goes to Ralene who apparently hopes that Israel considers how much RA would have to spend defending themselves after terminating his contract...

Yes, I think that the boarding factor is highly significant.

No worries. I was a rugby related point that I was trying to make. Clearly the rugby programme at Scots has improved both in quality and quantity since Dr Lambert's arrival. His personal drive behind rugby is a big part of that.

You're taking offence where none was intended. In fact, it was intended as a compliment. It's a little strange that you've taken such offence as I assume that you knew the context of the post as I was replying to your suggestion that Grammar should appoint a "footy head", the context was a...

Those four schools start in kindergarten and also have ELCs which are counted in the numbers. Riverview starts in Year 5, so a simple comparison of the numbers isn't a valid comparison.

I think that you have misunderstood what I was saying. I was clearly replying to a person who used the term 'footy head' and the clear context was a headmaster who has a deep interest in rugby. If you've somehow read into it anything else into it then you have made a mistake. He actually...

When it started super rugby was the right vehicle for Australian rugby to make the transition from anateur to professional rugby. It had good support, the product was good, the coverage was good (although limited to pay TV). But things have changed, it's now a millstone around our necks...

I think if nothing else it's become obvious that there is neither enough interest, nor the depth of players, nor the money in Australia to support an NRC and Super Rugby. Given that everyone seems to accept that international rugby is where all the profit comes from in professional rugby (even...

Perhaps some Dan, but I think that we have enough problems in Australia without worrying about what NZ and SA are doing. We face completely different problems to either and we need different solutions.

With the exception of Dr Lambert, no GPS school has appointed a footy head as Headmaster recently. If anything the opposite is true.

Super rugby isn't financially viable either. If it wasn't part of a larger broadcast deal involving test matches it would struggle to get much at all from the broadcasters. But financial viability isn't really the key factor - what's needed is a form of competition which will attract some...

Particularly when even some of the leading advocates and supporters of Super Rugby now say that it's perfectly alright for the pro-level underneath tests to be loss making. All the countries make their money from test rugby. The pro competition under that is a loss leader. It's how you have a...

They are numerically the biggest GPS school by quite a way in the 7-12 years.
