Nobody inside the inner sanctum of rugby ever gets dudded. The worst they get is a golden parachute or a sinecure like this.

It only took him 4 years to work out that he and Cheika held different philosophies? Really?

If it wasn't so serious it would be funny. To lose one assistant might be regarded as a misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness.;) (Apologies to Oscar Wilde, but he could well have written this whole farcical saga) Funny how RA, NSWRU, QRU et al have a similar management culture to...

The top quartile are obviously far wealthier than you think and could probably afford to pay higher fees, whereas some of us have to make sacrifices. Whilst I would never say that all statistics are 100% accurate, those rankings according to socio-economic advantage amongst the GPS schools...

GPS winter sport begins on March 30 - mostly internal trials and the Grammar 10s. 1st inter-school trials are set down for May 4 J v B/OH I v S K v STAG/H E v SSC/W Kn v N SAC v G KWS v A Assume that those not mentioned internal.

Airlifted? It's barely a two hour drive from Glengarry to Bellevue Hill.

Nothing else is at play anywhere. The facts are just the facts. ICSEA measures more income, it also measures level of education of parents etc. The fees are probably the same because the cost of education is roughly the same and they are in competition with each other for students. EDIT...

You pay your own way at any Newington tour, rugby or otherwise. (and they ain't cheap)

I didn't think he was offside at the time as he was behind the hindmost foot of his own team. (see match thread) This isn't a clarification really, it's a subtle law change with the "hindmost foot," which has been the law since time immemorial, replaced by the "hindmost point." As players...

He's just been appointed CEO of the All Time Crim RU. Beat JON in the final interview.;)

No worries. Anything run by an organisation known as the Order of the Holy Ghost has an inbuilt fear factor.:)

Not at RA. The bells were silenced long ago.

16s toured Ireland back in the October holidays and they played 4 games Game 1 defeated St Michael's Dublin 54-17 Game 2 lost to Royal Belfast Academical Institute 12-14 Game 3 defeated Waterpark College Waterford 54-7 Game 4 lost to Blackrock College 10-14 I'm told that Blackrock and RBAI...

Typo corrected Similar to HSC students. I'm not exactly sure why the school offers both. I have been told that it suits some students as it involves more independent learning, but I'm not sure how much if any difference it would make to final results.

For the sake of completeness, out of 39 Newington students who sat for the IB instead of the HSC • 20 per cent of our 39 IB students scored above 42 (the equivalent of a 99.4 ATAR); • 35 per cent of the cohort scored above 40 (the equivalent of a 98.25 ATAR); • 83 per cent of IB students...

Interesting how other sports have taken steps to appeal to non-tradtional supporters. Your dismissal or fear of people who are "different" is sadly common among rugby supporters - which is a significant part of the problem. Nobody has said that it would be easy to address the problems. You...

You'd be hard pressed to find professional sporting administrations so bereft of any strategic forward planning as the ARU/NSWRU have been in the past 20-30 years. Not only haven't they had a strategy to expand rugby into non-traditional rugby demographics and areas, but have failed to even have...

Nothing much between the top 5 in reality based on 16A results/form from 2018 and returning 1sts players from 2018. Much will depend on injuries during the extended trial season and how quickly combinations form. Alas Shore 16As 2018/15As 2017 won't bring much to the boys already in the open...

Excellent article, thanks for posting. Is there a greater indictment on the development programmes of Australian rugby that 2 of the 3 "young coaches" mentioned above are from South Africa and New Zealand, while the 4th super rugby coach is also a Kiwi?
