    Indeed, but unfortunately he only uses his considerable skills sporadically.

    From what IS said before he left us, Fear pretty much held the rugby program together at Grammar with not much support from some parents. The job doesn't pay that well unless he is a teacher - it's about 50% of a teacher wage with hours to match. I suspect he'll find a more receptive...

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    Except that he's used Beale as a 10 option before and the result has been the same. Not quite sure why Cheika was have expected a different result this time around.

    Wobblies v pumas - is Salta at altitude edition

    You can be as happy as you like (as you clearly are). The issue for the Wallabies is that isolated wins like these are used as a cover for serious inadequacies. Sort of like when Nick Kyrios has a good tournament and people finally think he's a serious Grand Slam contender. The...

    Lachlan Fear is the new Director of Rugby at Newington.

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    RA and the southern hemisphere unions actually take a financial hit in RWC years as there's no inbound June/July tour and a shortened TRC. For example revenue in 2015 dropped by $19.5 million from 2014. See page 14 of the attached financial report (at the end of the annual report)...

    You clearly haven't followed the work of the ARU in the past 20 years.

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    He was signed up in the middle of a crisis, without the opportunity for any form of methodical process (not that the ARU/RA have ever shown the ability to manage a credible, methodical selection process, but I digress). Sacking him now would precipitate the same sort of appointment in the...

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    The main reason Cheika won't be sacked as RA can't afford to pay him out. Almost as importantly it's the wrong time to be replacing a coach. People should remember that this is almost 4 years to the day that Link's reign ended. Cheika was then put into the role before he was ready (I was one...

    RC5: Springbokke vs Wallabies @ PE

    No real surprises here. Flat line rush defence from the Boks will send KB (Kurtley Beale) sideways. Not sure why Phipps is still in the 23

    Further to this, I can confirm that OVO sponsored the Australian Water Polo League in 2018 (a national club competition with 12 mens and 12 womens teams from all states except Tasmania) https://www.waterpoloaustralia.com.au/wpal-events/ovo-awl/ https://ovo.com.au/partners-waterpolo

    As his replacement will be selected by a committee which looks very much like the one who picked the new guy at Kings and Trinity, some old boys might need to be careful what they wish for. Highly likely that the candidate will be selected on religious grounds. The new head at Kings is the son...

    Difficult to determine on the basis of: There hasn't been an overall winner of athletics since 1912 when the Junior trophy was introduced i.e. the senior shield is for seniors only. For example Kings won juniors, intermediates and were second by a point to Scots in the seniors on Saturday...
