Now I hear that Sedgman has played just one game in the Twos. I also hear that he had been injured; so it could have been a comeback game, or even a stratagem against and undefeated Kings Two's team. So Sedgman, the THP of the best team in the NSW GPS (and second-ranked to Fifita by NSW...

That maybe so but we need a name. .

I saw Bodwitch in the crowd on Saturday and thought he didn't play because he was injured, as he wasn't in the Twos either. Most of the decent props I have seen this year for their school, rep side or state have been LHPs. The Victorian and ACT THPs didn't take my eye either. I think it is...

Yeah - I've mentioned Wilkinson before. I thought he was a very good as hooker for Combined States and as a flanker for CCC in the NSW trials. At the Aus Championships I thought he was a chance to get on the Oz Schools tour as third hooker/flanker cover. He played 6 for CCC but the way he...

Summerhayes played at lock or 6 for Cranbrook, never at 8 if Makas was available. He may have played there for NSW from their reserves but he is not a no 8. But let's suppose that both Mafi and Fifita can't play in NZ as seems likely. Fifita is a THP; so who are the alternatives to replace...

Going by the positions they played in the Oz Championships, the late selection of Harley Fox becomes stranger when you consider that there are two other no. 8s in the team. As is usual with Aussie Schools teams there is an imbalance of players in the squad. Schoolboys are more versatile than...

Harley Fox made the team ahead of James Lough? Probably not on the form of the two players in the National Champs - at least in my opinion. He's a bit of a seagull but has Higginbotham moments which can be good and bad. If others can keep up their work rate to cover for him he could be OK...

Allan A scrummed at THP when he came on. Agree with Shiggins about the TV shots not being zoomed in enough though I suppose that's the zoom level that the local coaches wanted to review the game with. I found the single camera coverage from Coogee Oval better even though it was naturally...

Thanks - I was able to watch all four games but without people steering me in the right direction I would have been confused (as happens a lot these days). Keep them coming next week please. .

Thanks Pftizy - will people please post those other links when they are current please.

This is belated but please give links to view NRC games that are not on Foxtel in this thread. Thank you.

It would be interesting, wouldn't it? Postcode analysis is done in a majority of businesses and would be universal in entertainment-type businesses. They would know where their customers come from and if the demographics are what we think they are, staying at Moore Park would make sense, on...

I was on the bandwagon for many years to defuse the power hit because it was literally hit or miss and it devalued technique. It's good to see that the hit has been outlawed and I hope that the next generation of referees don't let it creep back in as their fathers and grandfathers did. Fat...

I've been impressed with Peterson's form for Manly this year. Anybody else? .

And a few glasses of wine. I'm slowing down Jasdec, but I had a few things to do as well on Sunday. Geez going from one draw to another was something else. .

Well, that's good news that one Smith is out, and not for a harmful reason but a nice one. Fekitoa won't bring a lot of joy to the Wobs but the Tahs contained him well enough—he has to be nabbed before he gets going. And Nonu and he are similar players which means that the NZ midfield won't...

And in my opinion the greatest Wallaby who ever was. Actually it wasn't a broken leg: Catchy was pinned in a ruck and Meads grabbed his leg and pulled it in a way that he unzipped all the groin muscles. Meads has mentioned that he was just trying to pull Catchpole out of the ruck but he must...

This brought tears to my eyes. I was watching some highlights of the England v Canada Women's match and there's an old-fashioned ruck. If you don't know what an old-fashioned ruck is—it's like a maul but the ball is on the ground and the person at the back keeps the ball in the moving ruck...

Stannies lacked game breakers to put Oakhill away at the beginning of the match when they had the vibe. It was a close run thing and any number of incidents could have tipped the scale. It may have been karma. I took a photo burst of the Brae Roebuck try for Stannies and he dropped the ball...
