Some of the Under 20s players are worth a look: 12 Burton and 14 Lacey. Burton has already played Super Rugby but is not well-known. Reserve hooker Scoble has promise too. Lacey would be my pick of the Under 20s - he's a rangy lad who has rugby smarts. The fellow that surprised me though...

Hugh Jarse deserved a higher score.

Thanks for the interesting comments since my last post (with no bugles). There's a lot in it, isn't there? Much of my negativity comes from the prospect of what will happen once there has been a full examination of the effect of the scoring changes here. I expect that we will be happy as...

Correct - but it never purported to be the NSW Under 20s. The team was called the NSW Waratahs Colts and it was the precursor to the 2015 NSW Under 20s. This team will go on to compete in the 2015 Under 20 nationals which were held for the first time this year. As you indicated: they were...

That is an outstanding number. I'd like to see the time taken for kicks at goal and the time limit to set up the scrum - in the NRC - taken into the professional arena. People will say it's impossible but I've seen all kinds of "impossible" law changes made in my long life and most of them...

There is a blog up reviewing the 2014 GPS season. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/nsw-gps-2014-season-review/ Please let me know, in this thread, if you notice any clangers and I will correct them. (And I don't mean errors in our selection of the GPS team of the year - they reflect the...

Have just watched the match. Agree with Hawko's assessments in the main. It was a fine effort from the Perth boys apart from the scrums, as not a lot of them had as big scrapbooks as the Rams' guys did. As we saw in game after game it was the defensive work of the teams that was the major...

As you would as a gun-runner Biffo. [Not true - it's an old leg-pull I have made about Biffo in various rugby forums from the earlier days of such things.] It would be devastating to lose Cheika, but it is every coach's professional dream to coach on the international scene, but if we do, we...

GPSrow was just having a Newington stir sidesteppa but he's a good lad. Thanks for posting all those videos during the season - please drop all of the last round in the blog Discussion when you get a chance. PS - anybody see Scots v View? Was it Ryan McCauley taking all those View throws...

Not at Hunters Hill. .

No. not as his age; and not too many older, just quietly. Jonny Wilkinson was quite good with his right foot but I think Harry can kick further with his left. Mind you Jonny would have the edge in kicking goals :) though Harry will be taking some long ones if he makes it to Super Rugby one...

I haven't heard about Harry but they would be looking for him to be in the NSW U20s again next year, and with experience in the NRC he should make the Aus Under 20s team next year. Andrew playes a bit "older" than Harry does at present but he certainly can't kick the ball out of hand into...

Excellent news. I read that he was still in the Oz Schools list to go to NZ and this confirms that he won't be a late, late withdrawal (provided he comes through the game OK). By the way - what was the injury? .

OK lets end the import/recruitment (whatever) discussion and take it to the scholarship thread where it belongs, for a reason. But in this thread let's just talk about the rugby that is being played by the boys whatever their provenance. .

That is a cracking starting Vikings side for an NRC team. By comparison some of the Sydney teams are rotating their players either to find out who their best players and/or combinations are—or to give everybody a fair shot in the opening rounds to prove themselves. Or so it seems. .

Harry went to Grammar, Kings and Barker, but it's an old subject; so let's can it.

I added those names in for posterity. That was a marvelous effort by your lads Hunter given the details you have mentioned. Although the set pieces were a bit ropey I would not have twigged that they were all league players. They should be congratulated on their fine effort and for their...

Wow Hutchison is out: that is a blow but to balance that Fifita is named and that is a huge plus as he must be fit. Whereas HH can be replaced by an excellent player (Perese was outstanding in U/16s last year) Fifita was virtually irreplaceable in my opinion. Mafi is a big loss at hooker but...

Maybe that was the game that the broadcasters requested.
