Oops - no wonder I couldn't see him. Good luck to him playing from the bench on Saturday. .

Watched the Tahs train today. Cheika was in good form. He said (sprinkle in a few colorful adjectives) that he wasn't interested in just getting some of the good stats the Tahs got last season but they had to convert them into victories. In particular they had to have people backing up guys...

If Mowen has to retire it would be best if Moore becomes the acting captain and Quade remains as vice captain. But that practice is uncommon. .

There's some interesting players in the England team. Watch out for "little" 20 y.o. brother Billy Vunipola playing no. 8, who was born in Sydney. He's a line-bender and the Aussies had better cut his legs from under him before he gets moving. Parling will be a big loss because the lineout...

At least Ireland are making the two Schools matches available on tour - not against their national schools team, but our boys will play Munster Schools and Leinster Schools. Thank you Ireland. England teams will be hard to compete against. They have been virtually full-time trainers since...

Some photos have been added to the blog that was posted yesterday, http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/nz-schools-beat-australian-schools-in-nail-biter/ .

Thanks for the report Top Cat - I put it in the blog, Delphy - thanks for the photos - I put a few of them in the blog. .

Delphy - or anybody else - please post a few photos for Day 2.

Not the same standard as Willie at the same age.

I always thought you were an odd one BR and it's good to have it confirmed. But seriously: the rise of Skelton has been remarkable, and I don't think that anybody picked that it would happen a couple of years ago. I remember when he was a schoolboy that the only thing we talked about was his...

The Tahs are doing a media survey. Where do think the Tahs do well or not so well in the info they provide. No bullshitty long paragraphs please - just one or two short sentences. (Although that goes against my nature. :) ) .

Snout partial info 1 Vunipola Fifita (maybe THP ) 2 Connal McInerney (maybe) 3 Fa'ape Satiu ( maybe LHP) 4 Ned Hanigan 5 Josh Anderson 6 Brad Wilkin 7 Jack McCalman (c) 8 Junior Fakasilea 9 Mitch Short 10 Andrew Deegan 11 Harry Jones 12 Tepai Moeroa 13 Henry Hutchison 14 ??? 15 Andrew Kellaway...

sarcophilus Thank you for your advice about the timetable errors. I deleted your post (and my earlier one) because the games are now covered.

Fantastic - I have written comments besides the matches. I have some of the games covered but sometimes people's plans change and it's good to have backup comments just in case. The most important matches for you to cover are the ones on Tuesday. Thanks a lot Top Cat. I was aware of your...

Thanks, I didn't see a lot of U/16 rugby this year. Now I remember watching England and Orpen—they were handy in GPS.

Surely there are some forum members who will be watching NSW Schools v NSW Country on Tuesday and can give a report of the game. If you are a bit shy to do a formal report just write something in the forum about the game and I will pick some bits out of it.(I will be at Knox for the Oz Schools...

I was impressed by Fa'atui of Auggies in the Waratah Shield: he is going to be a considerable player if he can lift his work rate. But who are the the other Juniors we should be watching in the tournament? .

I know what you mean cyclo. We are all worried about the forwards but the backline does not look like a test backline. I hope that Oz wins but it is unlikely - as it will be next week. I don't quite know how to say how I feel, but I want to get back that high degree of disappointment when we...

Giffin was one the most under-rated Aussie players in the professional era. Maybe that was because, at the Wallaby level, he was outshone by one of the greatest locks to wear the gold jersey—not that that would worry him. Finegan and he provided a good balance for the Brumbies, as you say...
