Thanks to one of the people discussing the Scots v Cranbrook blog a YouTube video has been added. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/battle-bellevue-hill-scots-v-cranbrook-2/ .

EPS deals were only for one year anyway. Sean Doyle? Think of Beau Robinson. Staniforth will make a major impact sooner than is thought. THP Allan A to start his rise to a Wallabies' spot down the track. Grab hold of Jordan Jackson-Hope. Never heard of him? I think you will. .

And so does Tatafu. .

Jasdec has written a blog on the match and added many top photos - here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/battle-bellevue-hill-scots-v-cranbrook-2/ .

This is correct. The Top 14 system is better than the bonus point system used in Super Rugby in my opinion because it has a dividend for defence. In Super Rugby, Team A can get five table points for scoring six tries (for example) and winning. The side they beat, Team B, can gain two table points for...

Aussie fans should be hoping that the Highlanders beat the Sharks next week. Commentators have said since the end of the Crusaders' match that the Sharks have to have a BP win over the Stormers and win by 35 points or more in order to get second finalist ranking (over the Crusaders). This...

I'm backing the neighbours.

I think so too: I thought his omission was unaccountable but i'm sure the selectors had reason for it. I asked Steve Phillpotts a couple of years ago how they selected the team—did they have fellows assigned to the back three and/or the front row e.g. and he said that they did but that the...

For Aus Schools? I would play him at outside centre: his normal position. The Oz Schools backline connection of 9 Goddard, 10 Jackson-Hope, 12 Tuipulotu and 13 Hutchison will be hard for the Kiwis or their B team, the Barbarians, to counter, though they will likely not play together against NZ...

That's Harry Rowe - but that was for the Combined States team. He was in jersey # 24 today. Also in CS Jack Nettleton replaced 17 Samuel Keane. Jack Hayson replaced John Walker in NSW I Plus Sam Renton played flyhalf today for NSW II in place of Day and had a blinder.

Sorry Mexican - it's a case of not enough writers to cover everything. We are even light on having writers to cover all the Div I games but we fake it pretty well. We are all Sydney rugby tragics so it's a big ask to have folks turn up to Div II matches involving boys from out of town. We...

Nobody started a Queensland Schools thread so I'll write this here. Hugh Jarse is writing a preview blog on the Oz Schools Championships starting on Monday in Sydney. Who are a few Qld players who we Sydneysiders should be watching out for in the nationals - and why? Details like these...

I forgot to say ASAP.

He's more than just a fast kid. Watch what he does trying to deceive before he gets to a tackler to benefit the guy he passes to - and how he tackles big blokes front on. Hugh Jarse is writing a preview of the tournament to be published before the game. Who should we Sydneysiders be...

There's a slight possibility since he played so many games for Australian Schoolboys last year as an U16 qualified player. .

Young Alex was good for the Qld Red U/16s last year as was Angus Scott-Young in the second row. Since we Sydneysiders get to see only the NSW fellows before the nationals, naturally enough, it's always good to see how U16s players from other places such as Alex and Angus have progressed in 12...

He will amaze you with his toughness. He was three years as flyhalf in the Joeys first XV and if you think he is small now, he was just as small in Yr. 10, relatively, as he is now. He played a lot from first receiver in the TV game and would have shown GG fans that his natural position is...

I suppose these games will be played in the next school holiday period, the time of year when the U/16 nationals were usually held. Is that right? It's a pity that there is no national U/16 tournament anymore but at least watching such NSW matches as quoted above will be useful for the U/17...

I see that they still have Bill Freeman in there—and the wrong spellings for McDonnell and Finley prevail.

^^^^^^ Talking about the Wicks: I see that Andrew Deegan started at fullback for them in First Grade last week. He played for the Joeys Ones for three years, for Oz Schools in 2013 and for the NSW U20s this year, but missed the final cut for Aus U20s. This was always on the cards once they...
