Surely this is the other way around and the canine misses the dog show. .

Cost is another factor why Aus A games are not played; the IRB used to fund the Aus A games against the Pacific nations and the NZ Maori but the Pacific Nations Cup has replaced that. Kev - this could be worth a blog a couple of weeks before the first Wallabies squad is announced. .

Formerflanker - brokendown is talking about times before Greg Davis, before the change of the "tackled ball" law. You are showing your age brokendown and perhaps your username is well-earned. Those were the days and the great practitioners of dribbling, like Ron Hemi, had value that they...

Conversely, in the old days when players stayed up in a ruck and the ball was moved forward on the ground (like a maul) but not carried it was call a "loose scrummage" - or "rucking". Now rucking refers to a player getting shoed. The old moving rucks were well-rewarded when technique was...

It wasn't the Under 20s GB Colts who were playing TP: it was the GB senior side, albeit with many Under 20s in it the same as last week v. the ACT As. The GB seniors looked better in the second half when the youngsters were on last week. .

The big game will be tomorrow between the two teams. As last year, and in the nationals in Canberra this year, not everybody will play everybody else; so I don't know how they strike a winner, but since WA, Vic and the ACT all play each other the winner of that group will be the real winner...

PPS - now I get it - the warning is automatically posted at the top of every page of every match thread. Didn't know this could be done but it was probably mentioned and I missed it. So that means that compliance is very likely - I was thinking that it would appear only at the top of Page 1...

It's not just you who wishes that because I often struggle to find time. Even last week: I had to get to TG Millner on Saturday for three games, watch all the 6N games, do a 6N blog, and watch the Aussie Super games. There's still two I haven't seen though I know the results. But in the real...

Thanks - No wonder I didn't recognise those blokes.

Woo hoo. I'm surprised that Bernie didn't want him hanging around. I doesn't reconcile with the fact that the Brumbies used him in the ACT A senior team and not in the Brumbies U20 team which was the curtain-raiser - and it's not as though he failed that test. Bernie wasn't even there...

One of your best of many HJ. I think I said that about Kellaway. Agree about HH and, Sevens as I have mentioned before. People say he is too small for pro rugby, whether that be for Sevens or XVs, but they have never seen him grass big fellows with a brilliant technique beyond his years...

Ita is still over-weight and not ready for near a full game. If he is on the bench and someone gets injured early he would struggle. I reckon that the younger and lighter Allan, a THP, will be the star of the family; though Mike had the best game I ever saw him play on Saturday. I don't...

Doyle played like a mad dog as he usually does. He had better curb that if he moves up. He even rubbed the face of his Southern Districts' clubmate, Ben V, into the ground when Ben was forced out - and yeah, I have witnesses. He hasn't got any better looking since he got back from overseas...

I'm doing this from memory BR 1. Allan A 2. S. Siliva 3. L. Makin 4/5 B. Enever 4/5 T. Staniforth 6. ? 7. S. Doyle 8. I. Vaea 9. M. Dowsett. 10. R. Iona 11. Taliauli ?? 12. H. Hutchison 13. A. Robinson 14. ?? 15. Ah Wong Reserves included JP and R Smith, J. Powell - can't remember any...

Eastwood won the Club final. I've seen a lot of club games in my time but it was one of the best games I ever saw - when UQ scored a try on the bell and the very kickable conversion would win it - but it missed. The Yahoos drinking in the club mocked the kicker when he was preparing for his...

NSW Gen Blues U20s had a good win over ACT U20s in a hit out at TG Millner today. They were leading 40-0 at half time but when both teams changed their players after the main break ACT "won" the second half 12-7, for a final score of 47-12. Maybe the ACT should have used a young fellow who...

He was a reserve - number 24. I think he played fullback when he came on. I'm guessing that he didn't start because of some leg problem: when he got that long run for a try he seemed to be struggling for his top pace. .

On The Loop matter - I was told that the game was going to be on there a month ago. It was only a few hundred metres away but apologies for the confusion I caused. Hugh is a gentleman, agreed, but no - it would be one of those situations where one wouldn't know which thread to use...

And your Women's team beat England 13-0. .

On Delore not being with the NSW Under 20s now: Well, we found out the reason yesterday when Delore played for NSW Country U20s. He played for Northern Suburbs last year so I assumed he lived here now, but apparently the commute to Sydney for U20 training was too much. Or so the talk on...
