I wouldn't mind those vowels for a game of Scrabble. The "q" would be handy too. .

He's banned already.

Alex is a fine young player isn't he, and if I were a Super Rugby scout I would have his name on my clipboard. It just goes to show that you don't have to go to a big rugby school to be noticed. It would be hard to compare the lads if they were both playing in that match. Harry doesn't turn...

rugby roo Players are always swapped around in the JWC. The boys were chosen with one eye on the condensed nature of the tournament. The timetable is always tight, and in 2014 the young Aussies will play in three games in eight days in the pool section of the tournament. Other guides for...

There's more to it than that, which does him credit, but let's not rake over old coals, because it serves no purpose, just as it didn't back when it happened and people were talking rubbish. I'm glad that Harry did well starting in First Grade at his age. What we haven't seen from Harry in...

As I have written a couple of times: he struggled with the pace of the game in some of the "NSW Colts" trial games I saw. I also mentioned that I was glad he was picked for the tournament in Canberra and for the Oz camp, because that would have proven that either my opinion was bunk, or he had...

That rings true FTS. I always thought the 28 man squad would be chosen after the first camp, with the other five players still being in camp for the second. The second camp needs to work on more precise combinations and the extra five will detract from that. Yet they need to be around...

If it is the real list it would be unseemly if the players weren't told. On the other hand: if it is a bogus list it is untoward practice. On the face of it, the omissions don't look exceptionable apart from that of Gunn, though he may be injured. The omissions are. 2. Feliti Kaitu'u 7...

As was brother Will back in the day. A lot of ethnic Islanders residing in Oz and NZ take that opportunity and it's a great experience. It will be interesting to see how Cam gets around the field. .

Snort has written an outstanding match report on Trinity v. Waverley here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/cas-round-1-review/ If you have any comments about his piece, or the game in general, please write your comments there. Reports on the other two games will be added when the material...

Can anybody advise when, where and at what time View are having their trial v Auggies? I will be loath to miss Joeys v Oakhill if it's on at the same time, but I like watching Auggies play and hardly ever get the chance to see them, except at the end of the Waratahs Shield comp. .

You're not having it off with my missus are you HJ? No wonder she has a smile on her face. Talking amongst ourselves? Well, since we have about 20K posts between us we can break a rule now and then. .

Agree. I can always get that guy on the school council to look into it. He borrows my lawn mower. .

Guys we weren't born yesterday. There's obviously some Riverview boys talking amongst themselves. A few weeks ago it was the Trinity mob talking themselves or their mates up, and there was a bunch of lads from Queensland having a grand old time too. They are nearly always boarders. You can...

Harry Jones is starting for the Rats on the wing in the TV game. Brad Dixon is getting married. My mail is that Hugh Jarse will be on the couch, not the bench. .

I have deleted some posts that present a danger of circular accusations about a matter on which I have no clue about who is in the right. If the posters were known to us we could form an opinion but they aren't. The deletions were made for the good of the thread and I regret that I may have...

Just quoting myself from a few weeks ago.

In that Sharks v. Highlanders match the Sharks were not allowed a try because of play beyond the breakdown when a defender was moved sideways and created a gap for a ball runner. The commentators thought that the Sharks were disadvantaged but refs have been instructed to watch for that kind of...
