The Newington Dr Jeckyll team showed up today after the Mr Hyde performance last week. We were treated to some sensational backline play from the Newington backs - finally showing what they are capable of. Defence in the first half was rock solid - Kings could only manage two late penalty...

Full time at Stanmore. Newington 42 def Kings 30

Half time at Stanmore Newington lead 18-6

Hooper could play 160 and not miss a beat. He's like the energiser bunny.

I'm sure that Hooper would love nothing more.

You'll be a long way back. I sat there for the Super Rugby final in 2014 - at least you are side on though.

It would seem that a domestic league would also be in NZ's interests. The sooner the better IMO as this would leave RA with no choice but to have a domestic league here.

For those going to Stanmore tomorrow: This year we have a special initiative we hope you will support. Our Year 7 boys have adopted drought relief as their chosen charity and will be around the grounds with donation buckets. Please give whatever you can. All money raised will go to Buy a Bale...

Kings only have 4 teams in the 15s and14s age groups. Joeys have 6 and 7 teams respectively, so the games would have been offset to try to create evenly matched fixtures. Usually in these circumstances As play As and Bs play Bs and below that there's a gap. For example if school 1 goes down...

Just noticed that Dr Wright is looking a little worried in the background.:)

Photo from the GPS Headmasters meeting after the ban was announced a few years ago.

Indeed SDW, as I'm sure the Joker will confirm the pipes aren't welcome at HH.

Yes, the 14s are banished to the badlands.

Do they still ban bagpipes at Hunter's Hill?;)

Thanks WLF, the Shore folk kept that quiet.;)

Excellent news

Well there you go, I wasn't expecting that result. I presume because the speed of collisions are greater?

But the relevant studies didn't involve the "ad hoc wearing of headgear" There was a group wearing headgear and a control group not wearing headgear. The evidence is clear though, that the more rigid and/or heavy the headgear the greater the risk of neck injury - presumably because the neck...

I don't know, but I suspect that it's probably less than 15 aside. I base this on the US study in 2001, which essentially says that to that point rugby worldwide substantially underreported concussions. It also notes the nature of the game. I'll leave you with a couple of excerpts...
