While trial form and scores really count for little, forget how the CruSadists will do, look to the North and think Red. The Ponies could crack the tonne against the Reds. They struggled in a trial against the Crusaders, who in turn were soundly thrashed by the Hurricanes who were then...

Don't you just love Google Translate? James O'Connor, International back of the RCT (44 selections), suffered a heart attack on the bus during the trip qu'effectuaient the Var after their victory in Oyonnax (13-44) last Sunday. Immediately rescued by teammate Mamuka Gorgodze, Australian (25...

This may be the largest number of former TSC students named in a NSW U20 team ever. Other Records for trainspotters that worry about this sort of stuff are: The largest ever number of former Canberra Grammar Students in a NSW U20 team. The first ever time a former Mereweather High School...

^^^ The Plan for @dru for 9 Winter Saturdays: Get to East Balmain by bus, walk, dropped off, taxi etc. Ferry from East Balmain - Circular Quay then change there to the Manly Ferry. Have an ale or two at 4 Pines when you get off the Ferry at Manly. Stop in The Corso for a Kebab or some other...

^^ 18. Shambeckler Vui Another Queensland export. At least 5 former Qld in the Brumbies 20's squad, 3 (IIRC) in the Rebels, and now 1 out West. All achieved without really reducing the player depth in this Age cohort in the Reds U20's.

That is a pretty powerful looking pack of Reds Forwards along with some skilled and swift princesses. The NSW blokes will be doing well to win this game, particularly given that they have some players in key positions in Team Rehab. Tipping the Red Peril to take the chocolates in the...

That is good news. I'd like to think that the citizenry of Gaggerland have made a good contribution to the campaign. Well done us lot.

Probably best to leave discussion about the reasons behind the sacking of the board to idle speculation, and just comment on here about what impact that decision may have on any further enrollment "anomalies" at said school, particularly their rugby teams, which is what the topic of this thread...

The surface of the SFS was cutting up during the Sydney 7's with chunks of turf being displaced after the 3 man scrums. The pack weights of U20 rugby isn't too far removed from Super rugby scrums, and the curators and rugby administrators probably don't want the pitch chopped up too much before...

Having made the above statement about the more extreme of kiwis in Oz, I know some fairly "normal" Kiwi expats living here who just like rugby for rugby's sake. Some even barrack for the Wallabies and Kangaroos!

Some (few) kiwis would turn up to a Reds game against their former province just to see them "smoke the Reds bro". I've never really understood why you would emigrate and then "hate" the locals so much that you only show up for schadenfreude. Each to their own. They're a weird mob. This...

Hmmmmm, we live in interesting times. http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/scots-college-church-takes-over-top-private-sydney-school-20160222-gn0yq5.html School Council sacked. Church takes over due to governance concerns. "The application of the governance model being pursued by the...

Be a bit of a shame for the players if it isn't at Allianz. You need to remember that we are dealing with NSW decision making here, so nothing should surprise.

The Waratahs were "privatised" from NSW RU. Many will claim that it didn't make/hasn't made too much difference. The greater improvements in NSW rugby (NSW RU and Tahs Inc) have occurred when swords have been fallen upon (or were they pushed?).

If it is at Kippax, then it is pretty unlikely that there will be any streaming. From memory there is no real infrastructure there to mount any cameras/tripods on unless a temporary arrangement is used, or someone stands on the back of a ute and operates a smallish device. Unlikely that...

NSW Gen Blue final squad for Super 20's tournament Sione Afu, Lachlan Burland, Harry Chapman, Tim Clements, Ed Craig, Nick Champion De Crespeny, Sean Dillon, Dan England, Vunipola Fifita, Max Girdler, Siaosi Halifonua, Jack Hayson, Harry Johnson Holmes, Tom Horton, Henry Hutchison, Simon...

How did the games against Uni-Norths in Canberra go? @Wazza2013, any BBQ report?

How did the trial games against Uni-Norths in Canberra go? @Wazza2013, any BBQ report?

It is the Festival of Pity. A real lose-lose situation: From a NSW supporter view If the Tahs don't win by plenty then that will be seen as a poor performance by our mob. If the Reds win, that will be seen as a dismal performance by our mob. From a Reds supporter view If the Reds lose...
