I still maintain he will be a late bloomer. Maybe even after RWC27, when he’ll still only be 26 mind you. He’s one of those players who will just grind away and slowly improve.

A year ago that was an auto red. I’d say the WR (World Rugby) powers have issued a directive to loosen things a tad in a RWC year, call it the Owen Farrell factor. That said, things have been ridiculously pedantic the last decade.

I’m not planning on wearing it out and about....

I’m going online to the Drua shop right now to get myself one of those ‘hawaiian’ warm up shirts

OK with the latter, but identical twins has a different meaning to that. He has a little place he bought himself in the southern highlands and runs a few sheep there, but prior to that he was in Sydney, he never went back to the farm at Gulargumbone, it was sold yonks ago.

86, and contrary to an earlier post they aren’t identical. Duncan was a couple of inches and about 15kg below Warwick (fighting weights). Also contrary to that post Duncan didn’t go back to the farm, he was a pretty handy player but never really got into it barring a couple of years at Uni...

Yes and Marky backing himself to lock down a starting Wallabies jersey to increase his value.

You beat me to it - in the interim I also found it was a draw, however my man thought 3-3 (he wasn't sure). Regardless, about the best vindication of a joint premiership you could get.

Joker, it wasn’t an official comp but I can inform you that in 1987 the Kings 3rd XV was undefeated, and by default they must have been premiers. It’s possible they drew with Joeys, I can find out if you like.

I think this is the most likely scenario, with Hodge as a journeyman plan C. If Quade gets injured (or doesn't recuperate) things get interesting. It's probably Noah that gets on the plane TBH.

Good write up thanks DCT, good luck to all may the best team win.

Not a direct response to you slim, but just out of interest Sua'ali'i was out at the Kings v Shore game today signing autographs and getting photos with kids from both schools and other spectators

In town and coinciding with a rare Tahs home game. Taking the wife and last remaining school aged kid out for this one. Parted with the money for platinum seats near the tunnel - I know I could have paid GA and moved around but I’m happy to make my annual donation to the Tahs for a bit of...

Bumped in to a couple of GPS legends last night, one popular with the Joeys crowd, one not: Mark Malloy - SJC ‘85 Craig Baker - TSC ‘87

Sarah Hirini in the mens squad is a pretty bold call as well!

I'm not sure how serious it was but going by the news reports Angus Crichton is back on the radar too.

No definitely keep the Kings Cattlemen, Blue Horseshoe is a reference to those providing inside information in the '87 classic 'Wall Street'

Cheika didn't underappreciate him - I don't think he's been sighted in our realms since that unfortunate injury in the 2015 final.
