^^I thought Hegarty was playing for Team Rehab, but the point to be made is that the usual starting Waratahs were nearly all rested, and the bench and EPS types seemed to have been directed back to clubland. Lotu would usually be considered in the latter group, if not for the injury to TPN.

Looks like SRU may have moved away from Rugby Link competition management software, and reverted to the well known package that they used up until last season. The draw is up in all of its glory.here: http://www.nswrugby.com.au/NSWRugby/ShuteShield/DrawsResultsLadders.aspx I see that the...

^^ Force 20s were defeated by Brumbies 20s. Score was 13-21. Full Match report follow the link provided by @Seymour Butz https://www.westernforce.com.au/article/force-under-20s-go-down-brumbies-colts-perth

Staying off topic, & I can't talk for Suncorp, but the main rant is more about the amount of time spent in Beer and Food Queues. It is generally accepted that the quality is going to be fair to middling at best, and the price is going to be inflated, but do the F&B concession holders need to...

"O" possibly Oakhill (ISA) and "MC" could be "Marist Canberra".

This is the year for the folk from the Shires - Hills and Sutherland. These will be closely followed by another breakaway group containing the Insular Peninsular folk - MMM and the Rats. Up front of the chasing peloton will be Wix, Uni and Beasts with M2B and the Shoremen keeping them honest...

^^^World Rugby insists on that for its tournaments, so why shouldn't those seeking to be worlds best practice?:)

When NZL and SAF can run out an U20 team for the U20 World Cup that has large numbers of Super Rugby and ITM/Curry Cup players, then we should be encouraging out top level U20 players to be playing their Club footy at the highest level possible (NRC or Premier Grade Rugby, not Colts). Given Supply and...

I find the discussion about who does what player development a little amusing. I can only speak about the Sydney environment where many speak in glowing terms about the part of the pathway that they are associated with as if it was the most important component of the overall system. Junior...

Given the quality (or lack thereof) of most beer sold in Stadia nowdays, it is hardly surprising that it was rejected. Alternatively, it could be the recycled byproduct resulting from the consumption of the drinks stacked up on the left hand side. A loig supporter mate of mine who should know...

Is that to skirt the points cap, or are the players genuinely talented and consequently justify their selection in Grade while Colts eligible? Harry Jones, Jack Dempsey, and Corey Tulloch were all playing grade footy for their respective clubs while colts eligible. Sometimes injuries to grade...

Aust Schoolboys and NSW Schoolboys are sponsored entities now. Will the principled AAGPS schools prevent their players from playing in those teams because of the commercial tainting from sponsorship? The Heads of the AAGPS have accepted that there can be anomalies to their own Code of Conduct...

Like the President of the Corporation, I am also on the record saying that the Player Points system is not fair. If you are after a fair and equitable system, then NRC players (it's been two seasons of NRC, NRC is not new) should carry some player points loading, as should State U20 players...

AFAIK, Junior clubs cover primary school ages. Nearly every secondary school has a rugby team or two and they play in graded mixed private/public secondary school competitions every weekend during the season. There are district (ITM Cup) based rep teams chosen for a couple of the age groups...

Plenty on here would be glad to see the back of KB (Kurtley Beale), based on the tone of their posts from The Beale/Patston "incident" Thread.

Looking like the Final of the Curtain Raiser Cup will involve Qld who will most likely be undefeated after round 5. Home town advantage should go to the "minor premier" but there is no Reds home game in round 6 of the Super Rugby, so its unlikely that they would hire Lang Park just for a Under...

Has England ever finished last at a Rugby 7's tournament before? With only 9 fit players in Vegas, I almost felt sorry for them but then I woke up to myself.

Perfect timing last year for both parties to part ways with an element of dignity intact. Feel a bit sorry for RG having to leave this way.

@Lee Grant would suggest that Sandell might make a successful transition to Hooker, having thrown some lineouts at School, and on account of his lack of 120+kg superstructure. Given the rather short suspension of Latu, perhaps the worldwide search for a third hooker for the Tahs to cover TPN's...

Will there be any decent Coaches on the market when the NH Club season wraps up?
