ABR, it should be the concern and responsibility of each school's Headmaster to ensure that whatever rules apply on sporting scholarships, are in fact applied, whether in Sydney, Brisbane of wherever. Ship = Captain, School = Headmaster. If they don't police the sporting scholarship policy, it...

We need to ensure that high potential young players are not cocooned away in Academies and/or used as training fodder for Super Rugby teams. These 'next generation' players need to be playing with and against men, on a regular basis, in the highest level of competition possible. Key learnings in...

Hi 27, I'd be interested in who they left out who should have been selected and who is injured. This isn't a witch hunt I'm genuinely interested. Could you name the ideal U20 starting team, from your perspective? I think we all want to see the best play and them do well.

It's a bit like Black Caviar. I selfishly want to see her run again if she can return to her best, but I don't wish to see her run again if she's not 100% and at risk of being beaten by horses that shouldn't even appear in the same photo finish frame as her. Age is only kind to a good bottle of...

Just watched the U 20 Final this afternoon. Congratulations to both teams on a brutal contest and particularly SA on winning. This final should be 'must watch' viewing for potential Australian U 20 Coaches/Selectors/Players so as we can get fair dinkum about the levels of intensity and...

It's understandable why it hasn't happened, but wouldn't it have been a treat to have seen O'Driscoll play a season or two of Super Rugby say 3 or so years ago. He is a class act and a legend, and I hope he leaves the game in good health and of his timing.

Most teams these days play their best kicker back at, or near full back when defending during phase play. Dan Carter and the AB's were one of the 1st teams to realise that your No's 11,14 and 15 aren't necessarily your best kickers with respect to distance, placement or accuracy. Barnes does a...

The Welsh wouldn't make the Super Rugby semi's, 6N champions or not. Teams that would beat them include Chiefs, Stormers, Bulls, Crusaders and Reds. They would also struggle against the Brumbies (at full strength not the mob who played them the other week), Waratahs, Hurricanes and Sharks.

Add athletics. What about debating and home economics........any updates? And don't go THERE either.

When the Wallabies were facing that late 5m defensive scrum, why did Wallaby coaches send on 2 new front rowers to have that set piece be their 1st involvement in the game? Maybe there are rules about committing to send on replacement players with the touch judge, and subsequently you then have...

Waratahs fans who supported the Wallabies win today at SFS can sleep well tonight. It's their 1st win in 63 days at the stadium. Surely, that's a positive.

Calling all members of SFS. Get out there quickly as the line up at 12 noon for gate opening was 4 wide and stretched back hundreds of metres.

Yes you are. No. Maybe. Goodbye.

Very disappointed for Patterson....he's a black booker for the future.

Maybe you need to redirect this to your Waratah's Positivity thread.

I don't dislike any of them. I don't dislike my kids either, I love them, and that's why when they do something that's unacceptable, we as a family, address it. Who thinks the unacceptable behaviour will get better with time, if it isn't firmly addressed sooner rather than later?

Beale and Cooper are gifted athletes behaving like spoiled brats. I'll throw O'Connor in here too as his ego is out of control and he acts like a prat. They all have 'form' around showing poor judgement in and around Wallaby camps. Forget the legal mumbo jumbo, put simply their behaviour has...

Carter & Byrnes......now there's a popularity contest to rank alongside Gillard V Abbott.

Is Vuna coaching defence at the Rebels or Muggleton? Someone please update the stats, but last time I looked the Rebels had conceded an average of 26 points per game, the worst in Super Rugby.

Nothing like the wake up experience young pampered schoolboys get when they join grade. Every club has a lower grade nutter who delights in testing their mettle at training. They get no priorities in parking, locker space (or peg), shower access or water bottles and laughed at when they ask for...
